Women's World Team Chess Championship-2013, Round 8

Written by Administrator

Monday, 11 March 2013

All the main four favorites won their Round 8 matches. Now Ukraine needs a victory or a tie against Russia in the last round to secure gold. China gets gold only if Ukraine loses to Russia and China beats India. Russia needs to beat Ukraine and China not to win against India to get the silver medal, otherwise they will most likely end up with bronze. Georgia's chances for bronze are ephemeral given the difference in match and board points between Russia and Georgia.

Women's World Team Chess Championship-2013, Round 7

Written by Administrator

Sunday, 10 March 2013

Ukraine convincingly defeated one of the key rivals, Georgia, which was obviously exhausted after yesterday's battle against Russia. USA's victory over Russia became the main sensation of the event: the Olympic champions are now basically out of contention for gold.

Women's World Team Chess Championship-2013, Round 6

Written by Administrator

Saturday, 09 March 2013

Ukraine crushed France 4-0 and seized lead in the tournament. Russia had a dramatic encounter with Georgia: at first it seemed that Georgia will prevail, then Russia had winning chances, and the match finally ended in a draw. China predictably outplayed Romania. Kazakhstan defeated Turkey. The match USA-India was the last to finish; a tie.
