US-India, Olympiad

All Things Chess
1

Not quite over, but looks like we are going to win by at least 3-1!

2

Nakamura just won so the match is won - just waiting on Shankland result. And he has just kept scrambling and come back from an appearantly lost position with the help of a blunder by his opponent

3

Shankland also won a rather up and down game.

4

US Open team 3.5-.5 over India and take the lead in the tournament

5

US women beat Romania with the result of Krush on board 1 still in play

On the “Live” page (chess24), it appears that Zatonskih won, but the position is drawish, and on the “results” page (chess-results.com) it says that Zatonskih drew, so I’m guessing that the latter is correct and the match was 2 1/2 - 1 1/2.
