   Both the men and women are playing the "Superfinal" (let's hear it for
   terminological hypersuperduperinflation) of the [1]Russian
   Championship, starting the 18th and continuing through the 30th. It's
   a 12-player round robin event, and draw offers are forbidden
   throughout! It's a seriously strong tournament, with three
   participants from this year's world championships in Mexico City. Here
   are the first round pairings:
   Svidler - Rychagov
   Dreev - Grischuk
   Amonatov - Timofeev
   Inarkiev - Sakaev
   Jakovenko - Morozevich
   Vitiugov - Tomashevsky
