    Chessbase News, Germany
    June 5 2006

    05.06.2006 The 37th Chess Olympiad in Turin ended on Sunday. Rapid
    draws by the Armenian men's team and the Ukraine women assured both
    teams, which were leading by 2.5 and 2.0 points, of Olympic Gold.

    China took Silver in the men's section and USA Bronze. The Russian
    women took Silver and the Chinese team won Bronze. Report, games and
    final standings.

    The Olympiad is over, the prize giving has been executed, the communial
    dinner taken and, as we write these lines, the farewell party is under
    way. We bring you the results and games, with a few commemorative
    pictures. Full illustrated reports will follow, after the ChessBase
    team has returned from Turin to Hamburg, Germany.

    Turin 2006: After round thirteen (final) The Armenians, going into the
    final round 2.5 ahead of the field, had agreed a quick draw against
    the Hungarians. This secured them Gold less than an hour after the
    start of round 13. China beat the Netherlands 2.5:1.5 to take Silver,
    two points behind the winners.

    The US team demolished Norway 3.5:0.5, while Israel beat a lackluster
    Russian team 3:1. Both USA and Israel had 33.0 points, but the
    Americans took Bronze on tiebreak scores.
