The Ukrainian Championships for women and men continue in Kiev. The format of both competitions is the same – 10 participants play in the same circle.
The men are two olymps – Anton Korobov and the former world champion Ruslan Ponomariov, as well as Yuri Kuzbuzov, Martin Kravtsev, Alexander Moiseenko, Volodymyr Buklan, Alexander Kovchan Vitaliy Bernadsky, Stanislav Bogdanovich and l 's. current country champion Peter Golubka. By the way, he's the only one not to be a great master.
In the beginning, there were many surprises. For example, Kovchan took advantage of Korobov 's mistake and perfectly directed the final attack. We amazed the whole dove, which won two consecutive wins and after the third round, with Moiseenko leading the tournament. The meeting of the leaders in the fifth round ended with a convincing victory of Alexander, who himself led the tournament table.
Unfortunately, Ponomariov is a failure. In his account, four draws and a loss.
After the fifth round, the situation in the championship is as follows: Moiseenko – 4 points, Golubka and Kuzubov – 3, Korobov and Kravtsev – 2.5, Baklan, Bernadsky, Bogdanovich, Kovchan and Ponomarev – 2.

Women in the running do not have four collections – winners of the Chess Olympiad. They are sisters Muzychuk, Anna Ushenin and Natalia Zhukova. Of course it is very annoying. Because the tournament with their participation would be one of the strongest in the world.
But we have what we have. The tournament is played by the only Olympic medalist, the champion of Ukraine, Julia Osmak. Natalia Bukksa, Evgeniya Dolukhanova, Olga Babiy, Nadia Shpanko, Maria Berdnyk, Anastasiya Rakhmanglova, Olena Martinkova and Katerina Dolzhikova are also present.
The situation for women is even more dense. The most experienced participant, Gaponenko, for the first time in many years, was not part of the main composition of the national team. And now, she can not wait to go back. I must say that the Inna class remains quite high.
That's what she proved at the championship. Inna was able to win two victories. He plays solidly, with a large margin of power and is one of the most likely contenders to victory.
Also play perfectly Boks. She recently married the famous Azerbaijani grand master Rauf Mammadov. It is said that for women, such a change is favorable. In Kiev, Natalia speaks with confidence. And happiness was on his side in the second-round match against Berdnik (white), where his rival had a good chance of winning, but made several serious mistakes and eventually lost.
The Ottomans could also have been led before, but dramatically, his party against Dolukhanova. Eugene, who played in white, donated the figurine for no particular reason. However, it was a little upset by Julia. She did not find a way to succeed in her defense and so unfortunately lost the game. However, the wins over Dolzhikova and Rahmangulova allowed Osmak to be part of the leading group.
Thus, the situation of the participants after the fifth round: Bukes and Gaponenko – 3.5 points, Dolokhanov and Osmak – 3, Dolzhikov – 2.5, Babi, Berdnyk, Martinkov and Rahmangulov – 2, Stanko – 1, 5
