Russian Championship Superfinal in Kazan
Jul 2, 2014
Men’s and women’s Russian Championship Superfinal will this year be held in Kazan, the Russian Chess Federation CEO Mark Glukhovsky confirmed for R-Sport.
Kazan is a beautiful city with rich chess tradition, Glukhovsky noted. He added that only the chess school named after Rashid Nezhmetdinov has more than one thousand students.
The city and the local chess federation are very enthusiastic about the Superfinal, and besides Kazan has a very nice art gallery, which will serve as a playing venue.
Last year the Superfinals were held at the State Historical and Architectural Museum in Nizhny Novgorod.

Super GM Nakamura AKA Fischer re-incarnation, will beat all these Russian patsie players easily.
Who will play?
Nakamura wants to play but decided not to because he feels bad making Svidler and the rest of the Russian patsies cry. And yes, Nakamura can play there. He is after all, a citizen of the world.
