Nepo wins 2020 Russian Championship

It was a great day for Ian Nepomniachtchi. He took a fast draw in the opening and waited while his closest rival – Karjakin – went down in flames against Dubov. With this victory, the 30 year old claims his 3rd Russian title. Congrats!


Dubov amazes against Karjakin!
Amazing! How does a pirate play chess? It has to be like this! This game is impossible to annotate, and so I just give the moves and a diagram or two at the wildest moments. Enjoy!
