ETC - Round 7 & Mamedjarova - Kosteniuk



Hello dear chess amateurs of women's chess!

Today was the 7th round at the European Team Championship in Novi Sad. On the first table, my team Russia beat Azerbaijan 4-0, on the second, Georgia beat Israel 3-1, and on the third, Armenia beat Romania 3.5-0.5.

Preliminary rankings show Russia and Georgia leading with 12 team points, followed by Armenia and the Czech Republic, with 10.

There are still 2 rounds to be played, so anything can still happen. Tomorrow Russia plays the Czech Republic and Georgia plays Bulgaria.

All results can be found on the site www.chess-results.com
and
All games and photos come from the organizer's site.

Here is the game I played today against board 1 of Azerbaijan, Zeinab Mamedjarova:

    I watched the deciding moments of your game on playchess.com. Amazing what simple looking moves discovered the white queenside and the knight became following the match winner :-))

    for me, this game is so pretty, equal to kosteniuk herself..no wonder you're a queen of chess in this world..your plan & strategy looks simple, well executed & slowly but surely, your opponent would like to resign as soon as possible.. :)

    ..16..b5 is a move which I think, not many people will discovered on the board (of course not for a Master category)..25..Nc5 is great and 29..b2 is deadly, in which, concluded a pawn storm initiated form move 16.

    coach me more, please.. :)

    beautiful game there. crushing the bad bishops, knight penetrating outposts, rook on the side files for offense and defense. especially the infantry assault on the opposite wing. wow!
