In the race for medals;
Lithuania 1 are set to take the over-50s title. Tomorrow they play Latvia needing just a draw – I confidently predict a peaceable outcome. England 1 will be second if they beat the Latvian women, while another Lithuanian Team (Rositsan ir Maccabi) should be third.
In the womens medal Russia are strong favourites with Latvia having just an outside chance if they can beat England 1. However Nona Gaprindashvili’s Georgia are already out of the running
In the all-play-all over-65s, St. Petersburg lead Russia by 1 point. Tomorrow St Petersburg play the Dutch needing a win to be sure of the title, while Russia have what looks like an easier task against England I who haven’t won a match.
