    ARMENIAN CHESS PLAYERS ARE LEADERS IN WORLD CHESS OLYMPIAD

    ARMENPRESS
    Nov 21, 2008

    YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 21, ARMENPRESS: "It will be very hard to prevent the
    Armenian chess players to celebrate the second uninterrupted Olympic
    victory in the 38th World Chess Olympiad which is being held in the
    town of Dresden, Germany. The circumstance that before the tournament
    the Armenian men chess team had the international ninth rating was
    misleading and the Armenian chess players were underestimated",
    Russian sport media reported.

    "Armenia continues to surprise the chess world. Armenian chess players
    did not only concede in competition with the Russian team but also
    were able to win them. In the only efficient match of the competition,
    the Armenian chess player Gabriel Sargsian simply paralyzed his rival
    Alexander Grishchuk and enjoyed a brilliant victory", German sport
    media reported.

    The Armenian chess players won 2.5:1.5 the Russian team in the
    seventh round of the Olympiad and became the only leader of the
    Olympic tournament with 13 points.

    German first team, Israeli and French teams share 2-4 places with
    12 points.

    In the women tournament the Armenian chess players won 3:1 the
    Austrian team in the seventh round and yet share the 9-13 places
    having 10 points.

    The leader among the women tournament is the Chinese team having 13
    points, followed by the Ukrainian team which has 12 points and the
    third comes Russia with 11 points.

    In the eighth round the Armenian women team will play with the
    Azerbaijani one.
