PlanMaestro Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 In these day where we disagree on almost everything (gold, macro, politics, and religion I suppose) is it too much of a stretch to unite once again against an old foe? And who likes Putin anyway. Team USA just pulled an historic victory over the old bad bear in their own game: chess. Almost like being in those great battles from the Brezhnev times: hockey, basketball, and Bobby Fischer of course. In passing, Team USA threw the Chess Olympiad into utter chaos with four teams tying for the lead with 3 rounds to go: Russia, USA, Armenia and China. Great game by Hikaru Nakamura, #5 in the world and fan of all things Vancouver, beating former champion Vladimir Kramnik. Here are the games with computer evaluations and there is a feed with live commentary. http://www.chessolympiadistanbul.com/livegames/games.php?section=0&round=9&match=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
