Video broadcast with commentary

21:20 Tomorrow is a rest day! Take care. On September 9th the round will begin 4 hours earlier than usual. See you at Pogonina.com!

21:17 Natalia Pogonina won her game. It is the fourth (!) 1-0 result in her last games against Maria. Russia-Armenia: 3.5-0.5

21:15 Jakovenko saved his game. Russia narrowly defeated Argentina: 2.5-1.5

21:12 Pogonina and Kursova, two friends, are still playing:



21:06 After many mutual mistakes Galojan drew Kosteniuk. Russia is winning 2.5-0.5, Natalia is still playing.

20:59 Chinese men are doing way better, Ding Liren beat Onischuk in a 3 vs 2 pawns rook endgame. China-USA: 2.5-1.5

20:54 It is unbelievable! China had almost a 300-point rating advantage on all the four boards, yet Kazakhstan managed to draw the match! Our sincere congratulations to the ladies from Kazakhstan! Well done!!!

20:50 Ponomariov says that he doesn't like the atmosphere at the Olympiad and is constantly distracted. That leads to silly mistakes from good players. As a positive example he uses Khanty-Mansyisk.

20:45 Ponomariov and Moiseenko, two-time Olympic champions from Ukraine, are giving a press conference:



20:38 Amazing! The player from Kazakhstan rated 2165 seems to be beating her 2465-rated opponent. Rf2!!



20:23 Important result: Ukraine defeated Azerbaijan 2.5-1.5

20:22 Wang Hao-Nakamura: draw

20:18 Aronian defeated Giri and Movsesian drew Van Wely. Akopian also has a winning position. Looks like 3-1 for Armenia.

20:07 Danielian collapsed all of a sudden. Tatiana Kosintseva won! Russia-Armenia 2-0 so far

20:05 Peter Leko, ex-World Chess Championship Challenger, is being interviewed:



19:58 Felgaer-Tomashevsky: draw. Jakovenko has a tough defense ahead.

19:45 I don't like the way Natalia played in the time trouble. She had a clearly winning position, but now White will have to grind out a technical endgame. Why leave Black with two bishops?

19:37 Zhukova defeated Raijlich; Gunina won her game!

19:34 Mkrtchian had a better position against Gunina, but then blundered horribly and is now losing.

19:31 Ponomariov defeated Safarli. Radjabov-Ivanchuk: draw

19:22 Peralta-Grischuk: draw.

19:06 Boris Gelfand was playing very well in the World Championship match against Vishy Anand, but failed to win the title.



19:03 In Natalia's game White had a more direct winning line, but the continuation she chose is also strong and positionally sound. Black doesn't have any helpful moves.

18:54 Karjakin-Flores 1-0.

18:51 Jakovenko-Mareco is double-edged. Black is doing fine.

18:48 The rook endgame in Peralta-Grischuk should be drawn, but Alexander has just 5 minutes left.

18:41 Karjakin has very good chances to score against Flores.

18:39 Akobian-Bu Xiangzhi: draw.

18:16 Kursova blundered with Be5, but will Natalia be able to find the winning line? Let's leep our fingers crossed.



18:05 After two hours:



18:01 Lahno and Zhukova have a considerable advantage. So far there is a serious edge for Ukraine in their match against Poland.

17:50 Most of the games are very balanced so far. Only at the lower boards there is traditionally lots of action. For example, Palau defeated Burundi 3-1 (but there are only two players in the Burundian team, so the real score was 1-1).

17:22 Chess Olympiad-2014 will take place in Tromso, Norway:



17:00 Russian boards after one hour of play:



16:50 The best performances so far: Mamedyarov, 7/8, 2892; Nakamura, 5.5/7, 2884; Jakovenko, 6/7, 2862
Women: Hou Yifan, 5.5/7, 2732; Kosintseva N., 7/8, 2694; Lahno, 5.5/8, 2596

16:40 Ukraine-Azerbaijan:



16:35 Armenia-Netherlands:



16:32 Russia-Argentina:



16:25 Ukraine-Poland:



16:21 Russia-Armenia:



16:16 Historically Wang Hao performs very well against Nakamura: 3 wins, 2 draws.

16:11 USA-China:



16:08 China-Kazakhstan:



14:55 Tomorrow is a rest day. Today in the evening another party will take place. However, I am somewhat puzzled by the poster: is it going to be a Turkish night or an Irish party? What is the dress-code? How are people expected to behave? Anyway, the teams that are in contention for the medals will probably avoid this event. On the other hand, it is important not to burn out by worrying too much about the upcoming games.
 


 

14:50 After 9 rounds China is leading in the Gaprindashvili Cup category with 31 points. Russia is in second place (30), Armenia is third (29). I hope that after round 11 the strongest chess federation in the world will be at the top.

14:45 After a dramatic loss vs. USA, Russia is now tied for first with USA, Armenia and China. Moreover, China has the best tie-break scores so far. Today USA is playing China, which means that one or even both of the teams will lose match points. Russia is facing Argentina. I am glad this is not soccer. Armenia-Netherlands: another tough duel.
 


 

In the women's section China is lazily cruising towards gold. They are playing Kazakhstan (#22) today. Russia has an important clash with Armenia. Ukraine-Poland is also a critical match-up.
 



The games start at 16:00 Moscow time.
