Botvinnik Junior Sports School and Junior Sports School №2 From Kurgan Lead Russian Youth Team Championship

2 rounds are played.

2 rounds of the Russian Youth Team Championship are played in Belgorod. Junior Sports School named after Mikhail Botvinnik and Junior Sports School №2 from Kurgan lead with 8 points out of 8. In round 3 they will play against each other. 

Chess players from Petrovskaya Ladya (Saint Petersburg) and representatives of Pskov Oblast (both have scored 7 points) will face each other at the second table. 

Not all rating favorites are among the leaders. The first sensation happened in round 1 when Egor Bolotskikh (1937) drew against Alexandr Triapshko (2508). The team Youth of Moscow-1 got yet another breach due to Dinara Dordzhieva's loss to Ekaterina Borisova from Youth of Moscow-2 on board 4.
