Olympiad Games - George Neave - 03-09-2016
Looking forward to the chess today. USA taking no chances with both Caruana and Nakamura playing. Should be fun.
Re: Olympiad Games - Alan Tate - 03-09-2016
Interesting games. Andrew's game is very unclear. John learned that you can't play trash against 2800s. Colin seems to be winning a pawn? Iain has a reasonable Benoni structure where time trouble will probably decide one way or the other.
Re: Olympiad Games - George Neave - 03-09-2016
Will be interesting to see if Colin can convert this. Woudl be a great result if he can. The others look unpleasant for our guys to me.
Re: Olympiad Games - Alastair White - 03-09-2016
The commentators certainly think Colin is possibly winning. Even a point from this match would be a good result.
Re: Olympiad Games - Alan Tate - 03-09-2016
Yeah, things turned badly for Andrew and Iain since I posted. Unfortunately Colin missed 21 b5 but it's not easy to play in time pressure for 20 moves. The rook endgame should be holdable now for Black.

The Ladies team are about to go 3-0 up. Nice Debuts from Monica and Kathleen
Re: Olympiad Games - Andy Howie - 03-09-2016
4-0. Well done!

"I haven't actually analysed with my opponent after the game in probably years"
Caruana discusses game v Andrew Greet in USA match. Mentions his risky f5, "Might just be very bad". If Andrew had found 16 Ba6 (instead of c4) Black could be in trouble. How does B get K out of centre.

Really good fighting today. Looks like they are just edging it at the moment though.
