the same table, to be read as yesterday. Not really meaningful yet, but, what the heck :o)

Stat's to be read as yesterday. Russia without Kramnik so far, and India in dire need of Anand, it seems, having lost to Monacco 1:3!! in the first round.

play online chess		 The Buchholz score...

Message:
of a given player is the sum of the game scores of his opponents.

While the normal game scores represent only wins/losses, a Buchholz can also "weight" the level of your opponent to a certain degree. A win over a very strong opponent (who likely has many wins himself) counts more than a win over the absolute tailender, who has just managed a few draws among many losses.

Message:
Netherlands beat Russia with what could have easily been 3 - 1 if not for a rather lucky save of Grishuk against van Wely. But 2,5- 1,5 is not too bad either... India tried to be polite but stumbled somewhere and fell with full weight on GMs Graf and Lutz. Both of whom didn't recover from the shock. 3-1 for India and 30th place for Germany the result. *Buhuhuhuhuhu *sniff
Sokolov drew with white against Kramnik - wich caused the usual DRAAWNIK-comments on the ICC and I bet on playchess.com as well. Go figure...
Carlsen played his first game, having just arrived for round six. Very bloody.

Message:
... and Germany (just barely) back into top ten. Armenia is slightly pulling away from the rest and is now two points ahead of Russia. Nothing that can't be overcome, with five rounds still to go, but since the top teams have played each other already, they are now facing the lower ranks, and high match scores become more likely. Russia will need a few solid 4-0 matches if they really plan on overtaking Armenia...

play online chess		 Most Top 10 Teams Have NOT Played

Message:
For example, Armenia has played Russia and plays Ukraine in Rd. 9. However, they have NOT played China, Georgia, US, France, India, or many of the other top teams. In fact, they have played only Russia, Netherlands (8), and Cuba (18) of the original top 20 rated teams. The same is true for the rest--the pairing system is designed to have MOST of the top matches in Rds. 7-13, so the best matches will be in the next few rounds, not 4-0 blowouts.

NOTE: The Olympics was only 13 rounds this time, as opposed to the customary 14. As an interesting result, several of the top teams did NOT play each other--for example, Armenia (1) did not play USA (3) and China (2) did not play Israel (4). The Chinese took the silver despite losing 4 matches because when they won, they won big.

FURTHER NOTE: 1st in Group E (teams with starting rank in the bottom 20%:

JAPAN, with 25.5 Gambatte Nippon!!! (but then I'm prejudiced).
