At the penultimate round of the 2010 Chess Olympiad, the men lost 1-3 to Israel.  The second board battle was between two men who knew each other's chess styles very well--Emil Sutovsky was US Champion Gata Kamsky's manager and head trainer in his World Championship qualifying match against Topalov. Unfortunately for the USA, Emil topped Gata in today's battle.
