“Team Russia” of just such internal online tournament, beginning at the end of the second decade of may. The composition of the participants is the envy of any chess event. Each of the eight plays for a Russian region, which hospital where treated infected COVID-19, and will go all the awarding. There will not be “more” or “less”. The prize pool will be divided equally into eight regardless of occupied seats.
Start with Ian Nepomniachtchi, who shares the lead after the first round of the tournament in 2020. It will give honestly earned the hospital in Bryansk. Alexander Grischuk, also playing in the tournament, will help the Moscow hospital. In one of hospitals of Krasnodar Krai received donations from the fourteenth world champion Vladimir Kramnik. The final match for the chess crown Sergey Karjakin will transfer money to the Crimea, Peter Svidler in Saint Petersburg, Ernesto Inarkiev in the southern parts of the country. Alexander Ryazantsev prize will go to the Urals, and Evgeny Tomashevsky in Saratov.
I would not call the tournament charity. This tournament… noble Russian Committee of Fair Play that defines their winners in late December, has already taken GM’s note.
