Dear Members,
 
The summer is in full swing and our work has intensified in the last period. Here we are giving you an overview of our activities.
 
The Poikovsky tournament, in its 19th year, saw another very successful edition. Full of fighting chess and exciting games we have our Premium Dmitry Jakovenko as a winner. The ACP wild card was Vladislav Kovalev, the winner of this year’s Aeroflot Open, who had a solid showing finishing on 50%.
 

Dear Members,
 
We would like to update you on our recent activities that went as planned.

Our cooperation with the Tata Steel tournament in Wijk aan Zee saw three of our Premiums obtain wild cards. GM Matlakov played in the Masters, GM Gordievsky in the Challengers and GM Krasenkow got the veteran’s spot in the Challengers.
