The Russian IM Marina Romanko keeps surprising in the women’s tournament. She obtained her 7th straight win in the tournament, this time against Belarusian FM Lanita Stetsko. Romanko continues with perfect score and this leaves her with a point advantage ahead of three players: IM Evgenija Ovod, WFM Lidia Tomnikova and WIM Viktoriya Tarasova.

The International Chess Festival “Moscow Open 2013″ is taking place from 31st January to 11th February, 2013, at the Russian State Social University (RSSU), B. Pick Street, 4, metro station “Botanical Garden” in Moscow.

The 7th round of the Moscow Open saw seven draws on the top boards. The pole positions would have remained unchanged hadn’t GM Boris Savchenko achieved a victory on the 8th board. With this result, there are now three Russians sharing the first place.

Savchenko beat the young Ukrainian GM Illya Nyzhnyk in an interesting King’s Indian Defense. The typical scheme with white attacking on the queenside and black going all-in on the other flank was perfectly presented in the game. Complicated positions with plenty of tactical blows were present on the board, and it is impossible not to admire both players for their bravery. Savchenko came out victorious even though his king looked vulnerable for a while.

Savchenko will play against Dmitry Kokarev on the next round.

In the women’s tournament, Romanko leads with 7/7. Her latest win was achieved in a positional game. She played with white and decided that it was not necessary to castle because it would be more important to keep the king centralized when approaching the endgame. This proved to be a wise decision because, as even though she did not get material advantage, her pawn majority on the queenside was enough to get the full point.

Tomnikova’s victory on the third board demonstrated the power of the bishop pair in the endgame. The long-ranging “archers” cut through the board and dominated Iljushina’s rook.

With two rounds to go, it is hard to believe that someone will be able to carry away the first place from the in-form IM Marina Romanko.

There was big movement in the top positions of the Young Grandmasters Tournament. IM Urii Eliseev has taken the pole position thanks to a victory with black against the Armenian Robert Hovhannisyan.

The first decisive game of the day was the surprising victory of IM Mikhail Mozharov over the tournament leader Vladimir Belous with black. Belous launched a careless pawn storm on the kingside, leaving his king completely unprotected. Black took advantage of this and finished on top in the tactical complications.

Eliseev now leads with 5 points. Belous and Shimanov follow with 4,5/6.

In the Young Grandmasters Tournament for women, it seems like Saduakassova‘s early advantage will be enough to take the trophy. Once again, she has managed to maintain her one point lead thanks to a long and hard fought draw against FM Daria Pustovoitova, who is the only player that stands in second place.

The game went on for 60 moves and finished with bare kings on the board. The Kazakh’s pawn advantage in the rook endgame was not enough to squeeze a win after a tense positional struggle in the earlier part of the game.
