“Olympiad 2020 will be the Olympiad of Iran”,says coach of phenomenal Iranian team grandmaster Ivan Sokolov. Maghsoodloo (18 y.o.), Pouya Idani (23), Amin Tabatabaei (18), Alireza Firouzja (15!)

A typical reaction when a player lets a victory slip: Parham Maghsoodloo had a completely winning position against Rinat Jumabayev, but he fell into perpetual check.

Russia - USA is balanced so far: a draw was reached in the games Nepomniachtchi - Swiercz (B1) and Lenderman - Andreikin (B3). However, in the 4th board Artemiev has good chances to tip the balance in favor of the Russian team.

#WTCC2019 round 7 (March, 12) pairings.

#WTCC2019 round 7 (March, 12) pairing in the women section:

Not a good day for the local teams: in the women's section, only Dinara Saduakassova managed to save the draw; the overall result was a clear 3½-½ for the Georgians.

Zviad Izoria was Artemiev's latest victim. His defeat was the decisive result in the match Russia - USA (2½-1½)

Elina Danielian achieved a victory with the black pieces that saved the day for the Armenian team: 2-2 against Hungary. 🇦🇲 - 🇭🇺
