Both Natalia Pogonina and Peter Zhdanov will be playing in the tournament, so please don't be surprised if there will be somewhat fewer updates on the site during that period. Chess is a demanding game!

First of all, Natalia Pogonina is named "Natalija" in the GM list above for the Nezhmetdinov Memorial 2014. Is that name the proper name for Ms. Pogonina? And seriously, what happens if she wins the Memorial tournament...Does she become the Offical Men's Winner?
So far, Natalia/Nataliya/Natalya Pogonina has played only 3 games and Alisa Galliamova has played only 2 games in the tournament. What is up with that?
And why is Ms. Pogonina's first name spelled in 3 different ways based on her website, and her name as #23 in ranking, and her name in the round pairing on the Memorial Tournament website?

1. Natalia prefers to spell her name as Natalia, although it's not a big deal. 2. You can check out the standings at the official site. Obviously, everyone has played 8 games by this point: http://www.tat-chess.ru/2013/2014/14nws/index.html
