Pictures from the Olympiad – Part II
By Anna Dergatscheva
Our correspondent Anna Dergatscheva was born on 26.02.1969 in
Moscow. She studied Russian language and literature. She lives in Germany and
plays in Germany's top women's division as well as the
men's regional league.
All pictures in this article were sent to us directly from
Bled by Anna Dergatscheva before the final round.
One round before the end of the tournament it was only the ladies' section
that was open. The Russian men could relax and keep their fingers crossed for
their female colleagues. After Hungary had agreed to a draw against the Armeniens
the Russian team quickly did the same against Israel.
For the women it was different. Three teams were fighting for the medals: Georgia,
China and Russia. China was half a point ahead and had to play against Bulgaria.
The Russian team with Maya Chiburdanidze, Nana Ioseliani and Ketevan Arakhamia-Grant
faced the strong Yugoslavs. The Georgians had dominated the section until the
11th round. But then they lost 0.5:2.5 to Poland and went on to lose the next
two rounds as well.
