Watching that tournament it was pretty easy to feel that Gusev was the straw stirring the drink on the G-Kuznetsov-Kucherov line. He was totally electric. Kucherov was the LEAST likely imo to succeed and yet!
Looking back I find it surprising Nail Yakupov had 9 points in that tournament but I barely remember him playing at all.
