2010 Chess Olympiad - Women Round 6

USA - Tatev Abrahamyan, R6

Sigh, the USA fell to the Georgian Women's today and it wasn't pretty.  I'm sick at heart and I really do NOT want to report tonight but for the sake of our millions of fans out there (ahem), I will carry on as best I can, sighing mightily every few seconds or so...

Round 6 on 2010/09/27 at 15:00
Bo. 4 Georgia (GEO) Rtg - 6 United States of America (USA) Rtg 2½:1½
2.1 GM Dzagnidze Nana 2534 - IM Krush Irina 2490 1 - 0
2.2 IM Javakhishvili Lela 2451 - IM Zatonskih Anna 2480 0 - 1
2.3 IM Melia Salome 2439 - WFM Abrahamyan Tatev 2352 1 - 0
2.4 IM Khotenashvili Bela 2464 - WGM Foisor Sabina-Francesca 2293 ½ - ½

As a result of its match loss today, USA Women fall from 3rd place to 8th, and Georgia moves into 3rd. That really sucks. One good thing - Anna Zatonskih won her game today!

Not a good result for Canada, either:
