According to ChessBase, here are some stats from the 2008 Russian Team Championship:
Try and picture an event where all of the following hold true:
Every one of the 94 participants is a grandmaster;
61 of these grandmasters are rated higher than 2600; 16 are 2700 or higher;
Number 62 in the list according to playing strength is Viktor Korchnoi;
Anatoly Karpov is number 35 on the list;
Karpov and Korchnoi are playing in the same team.

Karpov and Kortchnoi on the same team!
I had to look at the team rosters myself to believe it.
How did you figure that all are grandmasters? My buddy Lushenkov is not.

What does the American and Hungarian team look like? I am sure Leko should be leading the Hungarian team.
Wow, players from 16 nations, is this a strongest team championship in the world?
