Linex-Magic almost there
After a hard-fought victory over Tomsk-400, it's the Spanish champion Linex-Magic that has the best papers in the European Club Cup. Tomsk's Karjakin scored a fine win against Mickey Adams but the match was decided by Rublevsky and Cheparinov, who beat Kasimdzhanov and Bologan respectively. Anand and Svidler's OSC Baden-Baden drew again and lost their chances for the Cup.First some videos by the organisation.INTERVIEW TKACHIEV
