The US Men’s Team drops down to board 33 (from 7) after a 2.5 – 1.5 win over New Zealand. Today, the US faces the giant killer Morocco (defeated #2 India 3 – 1). The official line up is:
33.1 GM Nakamura Hikaru 2664 – GM Hamdouchi Hichem 2559
33.2 GM Ibragimov Ildar 2637 – FM Elbilia Jacques 2333
33.3 GM Kaidanov Gregory 2603 – Karim Ismael 2250
33.4 GM Akobian Varuzhan 2575 – FM Arbouche Muhamed 2248
In the mean time, the US Women’s Team did win 3 – 0 yesterday against Bangladesh, unlike the incorrect report from the messy official site. Today, they will face Estonia. The official line up is:
4.1 WIM Tsiganova Monika 2267 – IM Zatonskih Anna 2433
4.2 WIM Bashkite Viktoria 2205 – IM Krush Irina 2437
4.3 WFM Gansvind Valeria 2267 – WGM Goletiani Rusudan 2371
If team X is listed o n the left, it means that team X has White on odd boards (1 and 3) and Black on even board(s). 
Did our teams prepare for these games, or have they spent the night at the Bermuda party? This information is necessary for me to predict the results.
I do not know how this team operates. Each time is different and it depends on the captain. I can tell you that the 2004 team was all business. We went there to win the first ever medal and we did.
Best wishes,
