Live games Video broadcast with commentary 21:40 In the Open section Russia is in sole lead and has excellent chances for gold. In the women's event China, Russia and Poland are leading. This will be a close race between Russia and China. Thank you for your attention and have a nice evening! 21:33 Russia vs. Poland: 2-2. Natalia saved the day.  21:31 Philippines - Hungary: 2-2. Amazing! 21:27 We need a draw!  21:20 China defeated Georgia 2.5-1.5, a pity. 21:17 Poland has a devilish strategy to neutralize Natalia Pogonina by heading for a dead drawn endgame with White. But they didn't take into account the fact that the Russian Women's Champion can beat her opponents in any positions! Natalia scores as Black.  21:15 Alexandra Kosteniuk lost :( 21:10 Nadezhda Kosintseva saves the game, 1/2-1/2. She had a hopeless position. That's what I call steel nerves! 21:00 Typical flame wars of fans at ChessBomb:
20:48 Russia-Poland will make my hair grey prematurely. I don't event want to comment on what's happening. Let's just wait a bit. 20:36 Grischuk won! Russia is in a commanding position now! Sole lead. 20:28 Grischuk has a winning position. 20:15 Arentina is sensationally leading 2-1 against India 20:10 Germany should beat Moldova 2.5-1.5 20:03 19:56 Khotenashvili has trapped her opponent's rook, but Javakhishvili is down a pawn. I am shamelessly supporting Georgia. No objectivity involved. 19:45 I don't see how Russia can save the match against Poland. Our only hope to stay in the race for gold is a tie between China and Georgia. If China wins, the tournament will be close to over. 19:35 Safarli is very nervous:  19:32 Ukraine-France: 2-2 (women) 19:30 Russia-Azerbaijan. Everything depends on the Grischuk-Safarli game. Alexander has certain winning chances. 19:27 China-Armenia: 2.5-1.5 19:23 Kosteniuk blundered... 19:20 ussia is having a tough time against Poland:  19:12 China-Georgia: the battle is still going on. Ding Yixin has a winning position against Khurtsidze.  19:02 Levon Aronian, #2 in the world and the highest-rated player at the Olympiad:  19:00  18:52 Armenia seems to be losing to China! Two games were drawn. Wang Yue has a commanding advantage against Movsesian. An equal endgame on board #4.
14:45 Tension at the Chess Olympiad is growing. In the Open section Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia are in the lead (11 match points). Russia is facing Azerbaijan, while Armenia has a tough match-up against China.
In the Women's section Poland is doing above expectations and sharing 1st with Russia. Will the reigning Olympic champions be able to beat their less titled opponents today? China vs. Georgia is an extremely important confrontation. Ukraine vs. France is also worth following.
The games begin at 16:00 Moscow time.
