This year the Russian Chess Superfinal took place in Satka 25th August to 6th September. While the men's championship lacked a few key players (Kramnik, Grischuk, Karjakin, Svidler), the women's championship featured pretty much all the leading female players except for Kateryna Lagno.

After a hard-fought event Natalia Pogonina and Olga Girya shared first with 7.5 out of 11. Natalia prevailed in the playoffs by winning the first game and drawing the second one, thus becoming the Russian women's chess champion yet again. For this achievement she was awarded a monetary prize & a brand new Renault Kaptur car.

Full standings:

1. Natalia Pogonina (2469) - 7.5/11
2. Olga Girya (2462) - 7.5
3-4. Alexandra Goryachkina (2535), Alina Kashlinskaya (2440) - 7
5-6. Alexandra Kosteniuk (2559), Valentina Gunina (2528) - 6.5
7. Alisa Galliamova (2424) - 6
