Kibitzer's Corner
Jul-06-19  sonia91: Second seed Najer (2678, European champion 2015) really struggled, he scored 0.5/3 in rounds 5-7 against 2400s opposition: https://chess-results.com/tnr452257...

And top seed Fedoseev, after losing to Predke in rd 8, is out of contention for the spots for the Superfinal.

Jul-07-19  siggemannen: Not a bad tourney by Tagir Salemgareev, beating Khismatullin, Najer, Shimanov and Drygalov.
