The pgn files are now available!

Andreikin was the lone winner in the Economist-Yerevan match and leaves the Russian squad ahead of two teams, Yugra and Socar both of whom have lost one match. Economist naturally only need to draw their final match to clinch the title.

Shirov won for Socar against St.Petersburg in the clash between the top two seeds.
