I was just wondering, in game 7 vs Anna Ushenina, what was your "master plan" with move 29... Rc8? Sorry if this has already been discussed, I'm way too lazy now to read all earlier kibitzing. Once again: congrats! You're my hero! |

|
| Sep-10-12 | | Ladolcevita: Congratulations to Russian women team on winning the gold medal! Well,if only China had not tied Kazakhstan 2-2 in the penultimate round,whom Russia had defeated 4-0 in the final round...but of course it is not a question of any single round,Russia did perform a trifle better on the whole. |
