According to News.Az, Shahriyar Mammadyarov that took part in all nine contests has gained 8 points. This is the best indicator not only on the fourth board but also among all participants of the world championship.
Two more grandmasters from Azerbaijan are also among the best. Teymur Rajabov that gained 5 of 7 possible points took the second place on the second board while Rauf Mammadov with 3 out of 6 possible points became second in the reserve.

Azerbaijani players are the biggest fighters in chess. They never take quick draws and they fight hard every game. They’re the European Champs.
Azerbaijani are best. Kasparov is the best example.
Kasparov was Azerbaijani… lol
Ahhh … Eddie Munster all grown up.
i guess the final round USA vs Azeri was a great fight. LOL
meanwhile, they mean Azerbaijani chess player best in board 4 in world championship.
Apparently, the Azerbaijani team did not play Radjabov in the last round of the World Team Championship, because if he lost he would drop to a bronze medal or possibly not medal at all. Meanwhile, if Mamedyarov lost, he would still keep the gold medal and if Mamedyarov beat Onischuk, then Radjabov would get gold. They sacrificed team medal possibilities for individual medal possibilities.
