Women Steal The Show At Russian Superfinal

The Russian Championship's Superfinal has started slowly—14 of 18 games have been drawn. However, there's been plenty of bloodshed in the women's section. They've had 13 decisive games!

Three rounds have been played at the Superfinal, the final stage of the Russian Championship. So far things have been pretty quiet.
