Slava Grinuk was born in 1970 and died in 1999. When asked who was  Slava, Vladimir Ivanov,  from Moscow told the following story: “Slava Grinuk was a bridge player from Moscow. He died very young of cancer, and his friends, who were not bridge players, decided that the best thing they could do to remember him was to establish an Annual Bridge Tournament that bear his name. ” These friends sponsor the event each year.

The same people continue sponsoring the event today, although they dont play and will ever play bridge. This year the Slava Cup 2015 venue is the  Danilovskaya Hotel from 20- 22 February 2015.

The event consists of two tournaments: a team tournament= TOP8 and a pairs tournament= TOP 36.
