The top pairings was Ukraine vs the leading Armenia. The top three boards drew, but the deadly board four weapon that the Armenians have launched struck yet again: Gabriel Sargissian scored his eighth win in nine games to clinch the match. Sargissian has the best rating perfomance (2852) so far in the Olympiad for a board five player, and the third best over all. Only Vladimir Kramnik (board one, 2873) and Sergey Karjakin (board 3, 2861) are above him.
The Russian produced Yet Another Shock result, by losing 1.5:2.5 to France, with Fressinet scoring the decisive win on board four. Even more shocking: China did a 4-0 whitewash over Georgia. The USA drew with the Czech Republic, with Kamsky winning and Akobian losing. Kamsky has now scored 4.5/6 on board one, with a 2829 performance, the sixth best in these games.
Armenia is now one point ahead of China, which in turn is 1.5 points ahead of France. Russia, USA and Ukraine share 4-6 half a point behind France.
