A day full of surprizes
Armenia new leader
I A
t seems that the rest day was very
usefull, at least for all the teams
from the top. If You remember
that in round five first 5 matches
ended in 2:2, today there was no
such a result in first 14 matches!
The heroes of the day were Dutch players.
They defeated Russia with 2,5:1,5. It could
have been even worse for leaders, since Gri-
schuk was a pawn down for a long time, but
finally managed to escape in a rook end-
game. The only decided game was on bord
four, where Nijboer outplayed Rublevsky in
a highly tactical game. With such a result
Netherlands is now second with 17,5 poin-
ts, while Russia dropped behind with half a
point less.
After yesterday’s round we have a new
leader! It is Armenia, who defeated Uzbeki-
stan with 2,5:1,5, thanks to the victory of
Akopian against Barsov, while all other ga-
mes ended in a draw.
Another surprise in top matches was
created by Belarus. They won 3:1 against
higher rated team of Spain. Especially im-
portant was Aleksandrov’s win against Shi-
rov on board number 1. They are now on 17
points, together with Russia.
Four other winners in top matches are
half a point behind: Ukraine, USA, Sweden
and India. While USA, Sweden and especial-
ly India are certainly very satisfied with their
result, we are sure that Ukraine expected
more from their match against Iran, who
continues to surprize. Actual champions
managed to win just one game and it was El-
yanov on board three. Sweden and USA won
with the same small result against Bulgaria
and China, while India managed to cash
even 3 points against Germany. After their
disastrous start they are now sharing fifth
place already.
Italian «A» team lost to Lithuania with
1,5:2,5, «C» team lost with the same result
against Chile, while only «B» team managed
to give some joy to italian fans by scoring 3,5
points against Faroe Islands.
The situation on the top is now: Arme-
nia 18,0 points, Netherlands 17,5, Russia
and Belarus 17,0 followed by Ukraine, USA,
Sweden and India with 16,5 points.
One more interesting detail is that only
two teams won all their matches and these
are Belarus and USA!
Top pairings for round seven are: Nether-
lands-Armenia, Russia-Belarus, India-
Ukraine and USA-Sweden.
We feel somehow that today it will be a
real firework on boards!
More or less the same scenario was seen
by women as well – 11 decided matches
from first 12! Two leading teams, Russia and
Ukraine, won with the same result 2:1. Their
victims were Hungary and Spain. Ukraine
missed a chance at least to equalize their
number of points with Russia. They are now
on 14,5 and respectively 14,0 points.
A surprizingly high victory (3.0) of Slo-
vakia against Lithuania brought them to the
third place with 13,5 points. It seems that

out and reprinted
The 37th edition of the Chess Olym-
piad is harvesting new successes every
day. With the media spotlight trained on
the event and press coverage at excep-
tional levels, crowds of chess freaks but
also a public of the simply curious are
pouring into the Oval.
While the official site of the Organi-
sing Committee continues to record an
incredible number of contacts (two mil-
lion again today, many connected live to
the games), today the stands and above
all the parterre (gold tickets) have cloc-
ked up a record: in just a few hours the
tickets available for the playing arena
were sold out.
The 300 tickets made available by the
organisation to protect the silence and con-
centration of the players, were not enough
to satisfy the demands of visitors.

Today the 37th Chess Olympiad sees the vi-
sit of the mascot Ruky to the Oval. He will be
touring the various areas and will be availa-
ble for photographs.
Lithuanians collapsed after their short mo-
ments of glory a couple of rounds ago.
Four teams are on 13,0 points: USA, Ro-
mania, India and Bulgaria. They all won
their matches with the same 2:1 result. Their
victims were Mongolia, Armenia, Slovenia
and Kazakhstan. Three teams follow with
half a point less: Hungary, China and Esto-
nia. The only team who won all the matches
is Ukraine.
Top pairings for round seven are: Slo-
vakia-Russia, Ukraine-Romania, USA-In-
dia, Bulgaria-China and Estonia-Hungary.
Today we step into the second half of this
tournament and the suspense is growing up!
