03.11.2006 I.Smykovskij. European Club Cup, rounds 5-7
The final rounds of the European Club Cup were characterized by the tense struggle and various creative achievements. It is impossible to present all interesting events and therefore I will have to leave out some encounters.

25.10.2006 I.Smykovskij. European Club Cup, rounds 1-4

11.09.2006 I.Smykovskij. Tomsk, Higher League (rounds 1-3)
The Higher League of the 59th Russian championship, which started in Tomsk, does not please the spectator with masterpieces, but a number of upsets makes it exciting for the fan. Can you remember another example from a Swiss when the rating favorites cannot win on 6 top boards, falling to a ‘minus` score, and barely manage 50% on 17 top boards? I failed.
