Just one round to go now at the World Team Championship, and Armenia leads by a point*, having lost half a point to the pack with their today's drawn match against Azerbaijan. Both teams won a game with White: Akopian over Mamedov and Mamedyarov over Sargissian. Akopian was helped along, I think, by Mamedov's 21...e4, which may have been based on a miscalculation. Perhaps he initially...

Vladimir Kramnik now leads the 39th Chess Meeting top group with 3.5/4 after defeating Hikaru Nakamura in round 4. Kramnik took advantage of Nakamura's indecision as to what he was playing for. Nakamura didn't have anything but didn't take a firm decision to play for a draw and drifted into bad trouble almost before he knew it by which stage it was possibly too late to put...

Armenia moved one step closer to winning the 8th World Team Championship in Ningbo, China after a narrow win against Hungary. It might have been different as Almasi threw away an advantage before losing the only decisive game of the match to Movsesian. Although Sargissian missed a two move combination to win his game. Armenia moved further clear of the field as second place Russia lost to hosts...

Two of today's games were drawn and it should have been three, but when Hikaru Nakamura mistakenly rejected the chance for a dead drawn ending against Vladimir Kramnik, the former world champion pretty straightforwardly outplayed him and collected the full point. He now leads Ruslan Ponomariov by a full point, with an impressive score of 3.5/4. Ponomariov came close to winning his third game in a...
