Photo: Round 4, from official photos, two chess legends: GM Susan Polgar and GM Maia Chiburdanidze Some results from Round 4. I am watching the Packers/Bears game on television right at the moment, I wil be doing an update of the Round 4 results at Chess Femme News later this afternoon (after a nice long nap). Indian Women defeat the German Women: IM Harika Dronavalli 2462 - IM Paehtz Elisabeth 2471 ½ : ½ IM Tania Sachdev 2425 - IM Kachiani-Gersinska Ketino 2371 1:0 WGM Swathi Ghate 2320 - WGM Michna Marta 2399 ½ : ½ WGM Gomes Mary Ann 2298 - WFM Hoolt Sarah 2274 1:0 Photo: Round 4, from official photos, GM Polgar, GM Aronian, GM Shirov. Korchnoi, the old warrior playing for Switzerland on Board 1, lost to GM Caruna of Italy, but I don't know what colors they were playing (I'm not following the games live, just logging in to various websites and reading what is being posted). Caruna had a rough start the first couple of rounds, but seems to be finding his stride. China shows muscle against the Armenian Women's Team, with Mkrtchian on Board 2 (she had a very impressive result at the Women's World Chess Championship earlier this year): WGM Hou Yifan 2578 - IM Danielian Elina 2513 1 : 0 GM Zhao Xue 2518 - IM Mkrtchian Lilit 2443 * WGM Shen Yang 2450 - WGM Aginian Nelly 2325 1 : 0 Tan Zhongyi 2395 - WIM Galojan Lilit 2305 1 : 0
