The Russian Championship Superfinal has just concluded in Moscow. The average age of the participants was an astonishingly young 22 years. The title, champion of Russia, was won by Evgeny Alekseev of Saint Petersburg, but the most original and interesting play was by Jan Nepomniachtchi, who is all of 16 years old.

His game against last year’s Russian champion, Sergei Rublevsky, offers a glimpse of his tremendous talents.
