Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
US will beat everybody.
Wow, big upsets of Aronian and Gashimov.
but already has lost to Russia however 🙂
And Armenia and Azerbaijan is still ahead of them. I would put my money on Russia to win the world cup
Interesting to see the 3 top rated players in the tournament (Aronian, Gashimov, and Gelfand) all lose today!
This US win in Round 5 is huge!
Could easily have been a draw or loss, but Ray was able to hold on Board 4. Congratulations!!
