European
Team Chess Championships 2007The European Team Championship is taking place in Crete, Greece. It is a nine round Swiss team tournament, with one general section and one section for the women's teams, considered as separate competitions. According to FIDE rules, the time controls are 90 min for 40 moves + 30 min for the rest of the game + 30 sec increment for every move played starting from the first move.
There is always at least one. Today it was Morozevich who scored the deciding point for the Russian team, which chalked up its seventh match victory in seven rounds. Slovenia, the closest rivals, lost to Armenia, while Ukraine dropped to ninth place after a shattering loss to Azerbaijan (Ivanchuk lost to Mamedyarov).

In the men's section it is all but over, with Russia leading by a resounding three match points, while also having the most board points, which is the first tiebreak criterium. Armenia could still pull off an upset, but the three teams behind them, Slovenia, Israel and Azerbaijan, will only be aiming for Silver. Ukraine took a steep plunge, from third to ninth, while Georgia climbed from 17th to 12th.
In the women's section both Poland and Russia duly won their matches and stay two points ahead of their closest rivals, who are now Netherlands and Armenia. The Dutch team make a jump from sixth to third, exchanging places with Ukraine, which dropped from third to sixth.
