Grischuk champion of Russia!
SPRAGGETT ON CHESS
The 62nd Russian Championship ended today. Alexander Grischuk was the worthy winner, with 6.5 points out of 9, undefeated. Peter Svidler finished in 2nd place, with 6 points.

Grischuk, born 31 October 1983, finishes the year on a high note. He had won the prestigious Linares tournament earlier this year. One of the chess world’s most charismatic figures, a great blitz player (possibly the best!) and a strong poker player, Alexander is still working towards his peak in chess. I expect that in about 3 years this will happen.
I will analyze some of his games from this year in a later blog article.
