Morozevich loses, Tomashevsky half point behind
It had to go wrong at some point. Today, and with the White pieces, the steam locomotive called Morozevich was put to a halt by Dreev. Moro probably played for a win too long, and this is only to his credit of course. After defeating Amonatov, Tomashevsky has narrowed the gap with the leader to a half point and so the last two rounds of the Russian Championships will be quite tense. Tairova leads the women section, also by a half point. New fragments.[TABLE=77]
