The Russian Team Championship is underway thru April 14. Many of the world’s top players are there including Onischuk and Kamsky. The main page in Russian is here:

The teams for the “Premier League” are here. Kamsky is third board for “Ural” and Onischuk is first board for “ShSM” whatever that stands for (Chess Center of Moscow?)

Oh well … I see quite a few of those 9-13 move draws.
Although the Volokitin - Malakhov 12 move draw was left in a very interesting position.
And at the moment (move 24), Korchnoi is not looking so good.
Yeah there’s obviously no rule about short draws. And the page doesn’t update automatically! You get a current snapshot of a game, but to follow it you seem to have to refresh the whole page, then find the game again from the list.
I confess I don’t see what’s so interesting about Volokitin-Malakhov. But I don’t understand Svidler-Alekseev. He plays passively on move 4, gives up at least a tempo to transpose into a Kings Indian without the light square bishops (which I didn’t think would be an advantage for White), but seems to coast into a big positional advantage on both sides of the board. Svidler is like a magician.
EDIT: a better way to refresh is to click on another game, then click back on the original game and it will be updated.
Well … it’s been a “problem” for many decades now and it still hasn’t changed. (shrug)
I delete all 15 move and less draws from my database.
Here’s another idea (among so many others), make them sit in the corner until they’ve satisfied the time requirement. (Could be 5 hours or more.) Or … they don’t get paid. 
Rublevsky’s play in Korchnoi-Rublevsky is very interesting and unusual (and successful), trading the light square bishops and ending up with basically control of both the light and dark squares. But then Korchnoi sacked a pawn and now it looks like he will be OK, I don’t see how Rublevsky can hang on to all his material let alone make progress.
I’d never heard of Rublevsky (Korchnoi’s opponent in this game) and took a look. He’s rated #28 in the world by Fide right now. And he won the Russian Championship in 2005 with a full point ahead of the runner up. AND without losing a single game!
Yup … and Rublevsky blundered on move 23. …Qe6. Now the Bik Vik is smelling blood.
Strange game indeed!
(edited)
OOPS! Vik missed 37.Rg8! Maybe Rublevsky can hold on now.
So much for Svidler the magician. He made a big mistake, probably by trading his remaining bishop for a knight, and now the black’s latent King’s Indian counterplay has blossomed and Svidler is trying to survive.
I didn’t even look at Peter’s game. Rublevsky-Korchnoi got me on the edge of my seat!
I gotta check that one though.
Dagnabbit site is hard to refresh for me though.
Maybe the site is getting overloaded?
(edited)
Finally got to check out Svidler-Alekseev and I see what you mean. He’s up the proverbial creek alright.
(edited again)
It’s an unusual Spanish torture line. New territory on move 9.c4. at least as far as my database of nearly 3.2 million games show.
Better way to refresh is to click on another game, then click back on the game you want to see. By move 9 I call it a Kings Indian without the light square bishops, and in such positions my tendency would be to put a knight on c4 not a pawn, but I’m no Svidler.
I don’t have any databases, I probably should get one and see what’s happened in the chess world in the past 30 years.
I’ll give that a try. And yes, I have to agree … it looks more like a KID than a Ruy by move 9.
(edited)
Went into the normal pattern of Black attacking on the Kingside while White attacks the Queenside of the KID. I’m guessing that Svidler was looking at 9.c4 as a means to expand on the Queenside.
(edited again)
Final note. Not surprisingly the Korchnoi-Rublevsky game went to a draw. I’m sure Vik is kicking himself right about now for the missed win. And Rublevsky is breathing a heavy sigh of relief.
Svidler lost his game. (strange opening though … very strange)
I give the Chinese players credit. Among a sea of short draws they are all fighting hard this round with one win, one fighting draw and another game that looks like it will be a fighting draw.
Well … that one is over … and I finally got all the games in my database.
After removing all the 15 move draws, there were exactly 666 
games worth keeping.
By the way, also today I found this:
chessok.com/broadcast/live.php
Seems the Convekta (Chess Assistant) folks are also broadcasting games live. This one was included.
On their main page they also have the crosstables for this event.
I didn’t realize that Karpov was playing. He and Korchnoi were on the same team, South Ural. 
They placed 11th out of 11 teams.
Peter Svidler is back at it today starting the Grand Prix Event 1 in Baku, Azerbaijan. The list of players for the Grand Prix event has some real heavy hitters but Peter is the top seed for Event 1.
