Victor Mikhalevski wins Empresa05

Empresa05 tournament was held in Montrael on august 3-14. GM Victor Mikhalevski made a fantastic result to leave second placed GM Efimenko whole point behind. This is probably Victor`s most important tournament win in his entire career. He is well known for his sharp style and excellent knowledge of Catalan and Gruenfeld opening systems.

I have to say that most of the participants are good friends of mine.
