On the upside for the Ukraine: Looks like Ukrainian women's team took first place this year! Last year, it was China's women's team that came in first, as I recall.
Actually, I'm surprised Anand even played as I knew that he didn't think his country's chess powers were sufficiently training for it. I think the stress of it all prolly got to him.
Last year, it was the Ukraine that won. They've got to be very disappointed with their performance this year. (I see Ponomariov didn't participate -- wonder why). Kramnik had very good results this year but Anand had terrible results.
Wow, USA took 3rd. That's a big result! Congratulations to Nakamura! And kudos to Armenia and China! Very exciting results. That's great! Can you update us on the women's teams too?
The '37° Olimpiade degli scacchi - Torino 2006' has finished minutes ago. Surprises. Armenia was gold medal, China silver, Russia fall down to 6th., Topalov´s Bulgaria was 10th. and the third seed, Anand´s India, finished around the 30th. position, with a poor actuaction of Vishy, who even lost against a canadian player >300 points below in the 11th. round. Final (unofficial) positions, after tie-breaks: 1.- Armenia----------36.0 2.- China------------34.0 3.- USA--------------33.0 4.- Israel-----------33.0 5.- Hungary----------32.5 6.- Russia-----------32.0 7.- France-----------32.0 8.- Ukraine----------32.0 9.- Spain------------32.0 10.-Bulgaria---------32.0
