Alekseev catches Dominguez on the first place. As far as I know, the tie for the first place means that we will see a blitz play-off (that how it was done last year).

There was a tie-break between Dominguez and Alekseev.




Since there was no decision after two rapid games (15 min + 5 sec), two blitz games (5min + 2 sec) were played. In last game Dominguez already had Alekseev on the ropes, but then blundered and lost.

The Winners:
