Great result for Russell (congratulations!). Black was better at some points as well.
Wonder when Vitiugov will become eligible for the 50+ team?
(In 14 years, in case anyone really wanted to know.)

Back now but not confident that what I see on my screen can be believed. Not the clocks, for sure.

It seems Adams had his draw offer accepted in the game that offered our best winning chances

Today looks like the last good opportunity for the leaders, USA, to slip up.

This result makes the silver medal spot more problematic.
