Russian Team Chess Championship 2010, Last Round Preview
After my unexpected loss in the 4th round to Natalia Zhukova, I came back nicely by beating Viktorija Cmilyte today with Black. So I'm at 2 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw, that's 50% and a performance just below 2500, and one game to go tomorrow. My team of Moscow drew their match today and overall is 4th, but tomorrow hopefully we can do well against the Chigorin Chess Club and pass in front of AVS who is not playing tomorrow, and get a medal. I'll let you know how it goes. For the moment the team Giprorechtrans with Zhukova, Munguntuul, Zaiatz, Vasilevich and Fominykh are leading with 8 match points, and very good chances for the Gold!
All the games, past and live, can be seen on http://livechess.chessdom.com/site/. Here below is my game against Cmilyte, I hope you like it (especially my move 36...f3!):

Great game, lots of attacking, great endgame by you with the rook sacrifice! I guess Viktorija did not see 38...Bf2 coming (time pressure?) and took the rook. Looking forward to your annotation. Good luck later today on the final round! My guess is you won't have any trouble against WIM Tatjana Molchanova! I'll be rooting for you!
