Below is a (translated by Chess Today) quote from the interview of Alexander Morozevich for Radio Mayak:
“I have been playing for about 10 years on the [Russian] national team, and have never seen a united team. To demand from us that we live like one family as the national team of Armenia … it will not be like this”.
Quite a lot of interviews with members and the captain of the Russian Dresden team were recently published by the Russian media, but explanations about how the order of boards was decided often contradict each other.

Moro is right.
Ok, so now we know the truth of Team RUS: the sum of the parts is greater than the whole, the way the players play in the team is no different from their individual games. Acceptable individual results but mediocare team performance
