Posted by 365Chess.com on April 14, 2009 in Chess news

This team won the Russian Team Championship in 2007 but didn’t perform very well last year. Now they came for revenge and wins the tournament two point ahead of ShSm-64 and Ural, silver and gold medal respectively.

Before the last round ShSm-64 and Tomsk-400 were sharing the lead. ShSm-64 lost its last round match against SPbChFed on the last board where Boris Savchenko, 2655, lost to Zahar Efimenko while all other games were drawn.

Meanwhile Farrukh Amonatov (2648) got a very importante victory for Tomsk-400 against Andrey Rychagov (2530) from Eurasia-Logistic.

This victory in the fifth board put Tomsk in the lead, two point ahead of its follower.

The victorious team was composed by Dmitry Jakovenko (2753), Artyom Timofeev (2677), Ernesto Inarkiev (2676), Sergei Tiviakov (2697), Farrukh Amonatov (2648), Denis Khismatullin (2601) and Vladislav Tkachiev (2657)

Now we want to share two games. First and interesting match between Alekseev and Jakovenko and then de decisive match for Tomsk-400 between Amonatov and Rychagov.
