| Nov-29-14 | | waustad: Several are here who are on teams in the Frauenbundesliga. There are others playing in Qatar, so some of the teams are showing their depth, for better or worse. |
|
| Nov-30-14 | | siggemannen: Looks like Gunina has turned the "aggressiveness" knob to 11 |

 | | Penguincw: All of the participants here among Russia's Top 21 women. For the men's side, it's Top 24 men. Yay? |
|
| Dec-01-14 | | Mr. V: Best of luck to the young Goryachkina. |

| Dec-01-14 | | whiteshark: The 64th Russian Women’s Championship Superfinal is a 10-player all-play-all tournament taking place in the Kazan Kremlin from 28 November to 7 December, with one rest day on 3 December. The event is organised by the Russian Chess Federation and the Timchenko Foundation with support from the Republic of Tartarstan. Valentina Gunina will be defending her title. The time control is 90 minutes/40 moves + 30 minutes to the end of the game, with a 30 second increment from move 1. Draws are not allowed before move 40. In case of a tie for first place two 15 minute + 10 second rapid games will, if necessary, be followed by a 5 vs. 4 minute Armageddon game where a draw counts as a win for Black. |
|
| Dec-02-14 | | fref: Nice to see such a low drawing-rate what is probably the strongest national championship for women. |
|
| Dec-03-14 | | waustad: <fref> Yes, it probably is the strongest, since Hou Yifan plays against the men. Ukraine, with both Muzychuk sisters among others is also up there. I'm always amused that Alexandra Kosteniuk plays in both the Russian and Swiss championships while living in Florida. Who knows what the Kosintseva sisters will do eventually. |
|
| Dec-03-14 | | Mr. V: <Waustad> They seem to be totally off the radar. If they think Team Russia is missing them, they're wrong, judging by the olympiad performance. |

| Dec-04-14 | | notyetagm: <Mr. V: <Waustad> They seem to be totally off the radar. If they think Team Russia is missing them, they're wrong, judging by the Olympiad performance.> Gunina, Girya, and Goryachkina are more than adequate replacements for the Kosintseva sisters. |
|
| Dec-04-14 | | fisayo123: <notyetagm> Goryachkina seems like something special. |
|
| Dec-04-14 | | notyetagm: <fisayo123: <notyetagm> Goryachkina seems like something special.> Nah, just a future unsuccessful challenger to Hou Yifan. :-) |
|
| Dec-05-14 | | dumbgai: <future unsuccessful challenger to Hou Yifan> The most a young female chess player can hope to achieve... |
|
| Dec-05-14 | | dumbgai: <Gunina, Girya, and Goryachkina> Not as intimidating as the other GGG though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gennad... For those who don't follow boxing, this guy is a freaking monster. |

| Dec-05-14 | | notyetagm: Russian Superfinals (Women) (2014) Damn, Gunina just won her 5th(!) straight game to tie for first after losing her first two games! What incredible determination! Mentally weaker players would just give up after starting out 0/2. ----

| Dec-05-14 | | notyetagm: And you wonder why I call her <BINARY GUNINA>: +5 =0 -2. Russian Superfinals (Women) (2014)/Valentina Gunina Every game she plays is 1-0 or 0-1. :-) |
|
| Dec-05-14 | | FairyPromotion: Someone should grab a hammer, hit where it says "Break in Case of Emergency", take the extinguisher, and use it on Gunina. After losing her first two games, she caught fire. And her games are really exciting, too. I've been a fan of hers ever since I saw this brilliancy last year (which IMO is the greatest game ever played by a female player): V Gunina vs Ju Wenjun, 2013 |

| Dec-06-14 | | notyetagm: Russian Superfinals (Women) (2014) 6 straight win for Gunina now!
Has anyone *ever* won a Soviet or Russian Championship after losing the first two games? Gunina is about to accomplish this **incredible** feat. ----

| Dec-06-14 | | notyetagm: "Binary" Valentina strikes again! |
|
| Dec-06-14 | | siggemannen: Good work by Gunina, but the final position didn't look all that bad for black? Was it a win on time? Her nemesis Galliamova will be waiting in the last game, perfect pairing to find out who's the best :) |
|
| Dec-06-14 | | FairyPromotion: What a tournament! The first 8 rounds were really exciting, and in the final round we'll have the clash of leaders: Galliamova vs Gunina. What's the tiebreak system btw? I believe there will be rapid tiebreakers, but can anyone confirm?
In case of a draw Girya might join the leaders, as well. |
|
| Dec-07-14 | | siggemannen: <chessgames>, you got a duplicate game between Bodnaruk and Kashlinskaya |
|
| Dec-07-14 | | SimonWebbsTiger: Dramatic final game. But Gunina set to convert and win the title. |
