No offense but looking at the players (names) it is
Russia 1 vs. Russia 2 anyways. ;-)
I haven't checked but is there anyone on the "US" teams who
is actually born in the US? Gata Kamsky surely isn't....

players playing in this tournament ? Men or Women ?
I have no idea who the best Man and Woman American born players are ..

The uschess.org reports that the USA Ladies won their Match 3-1 vs
Russia. After holding the Chinese team to a draw this win may help to
propel the Ladies team to a medal this year.Irina Krush won on Board 1
beating World Champion Alexandra Kosteniuk and Anna Zatonskih won
against Tatiana Kosinteva.

Looks like the men lost 2.5-1.5 Kamsky beat Svidler. Nakamura lost to
Grischuk and I think we lost on Board 3. The ladies winning would be
(or is) a great result !!
