Irina Krush in China
The Americans came back from a round 1 loss to Poland at the Women's World Team Championship (Ningbo, China, September 2-13) to crush Armenia 3.5/5!
Irina Krush and Rusudan Goletiani, playing White on boards 1+3, both won:
3445
3446
Also scoring a victory was Tatev Abrahamyan, who was born in Armenia.
3447
It seems this will be a very tight tournament- Poland is the only team that has a perfect score after two rounds. Update: Round 3 USA-Vietnam was a draw. This was not the happiest result for the American ladies, since Vietnam is the lowest rated team in the event. But in this long tournament, one upset draw doesn't mean too much.
