Judit and Yasser share a laugh before the game
There were no major changes in the team rankings in round six, with draws between Russia and Ukraine, and Israel against Azerbaijan. The most remarkable result was perhaps the drawn match between the USA and Hungary, not so much because the Hungarians were obvious favorites, but how the Americans achieved it. Whereas Almasi (2726) beat Shulman (2617), it was Yasser Seirawan who saved the team by beating Judit Polgar in a gutsy game, his first win over a 2700 player in... a long time. And it could not have been better timed.
