"Despite the documented evidence of chess historian H.J.R. Murray, I have always thought that chess was invented by a goddess." George Koltanowski, from Women in Chess, Players of the Modern Game

2008 Chess Olympiad
Holy Caissa!
Chessdom reports:
USA (#4) wins against Russia (#3) 3:1 in the women section.
IM Krush Irina 2452 - GM Kosteniuk Alexandra 2525 1 : 0 IM Zatonskih Anna 2440 - IM Kosintseva Tatiana 2513 1 : 0 WGM Goletiani Rusudan 2359 - IM Kosintseva Nadezhda 2468 ½ : ½ WGM Rohonyan Katerina 2334 - IM Korbut Ekaterina 2459 ½ : ½
If the US chess femmes had played this way in the World Chess Championships, they'd have been battling for the title!
#1 Team is China, #2 Team is Ukraine. USA has already played China and tied 2:2. USA has not played Ukraine.
I'm going shopping for some allspice tonight just in case I have to eat my wool beret after all...
