Sochi, Russia: A team called “Crimea is ours” plays the 24th Russian Team Chess Championship. See http://chess-news.ru/node/23108.
“Crimea is ours”, but it’s not clear who “owns” it, since the Republic of Crimea is represented by two Ukrainians, one Russian and one Uzbek... The real news, however, is most likely the presence of two women in the “unisex” (idem to say men’s) contest, with Aleksandra Yuryevna Goryachkina playing on first board for Yamal (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug) and Natalia Oleksandrivna Zhukova sitting on second board for “Kogel mogel” (Moscow). |
