After very exciting last round with possibilities for many players to advance finally two Russian and two Japanese players, one Estonian and also one Swedish player made it to the A-tournament final played between 12 players in round robin system.
For Aivo it is his 4th AT final – so far no strong finishes but perhaps this is the time he is ready to keep a medal home.
Newer players might be surprised to see Petter Gardsdröm get to the final but actually he is very experienced player – he played already in the first AT final in 1989 and his best place was achieved also in Tallinn in 1995 when he was 5th. This is his 6th AT final.
For Epifanov and Nakayama it is their 2nd AT final.
Koyama and Fedotov play the A-tournament for the first time.
The list of AT players:
Vladimir Sushkov (Russia, Reigning World Champion)
Dmitri Epifanov (Russia)
Denis Fedotov (Russia)
