   David, I still have to look at the pairings yet, but I'll try make some predictions about the next round and I'll be there for the show tomorrow.

 Round 2 Upsets/Predictions(don't stone me if I am wrong LOL):

   Scotland over Ukraine - even though Ukraine slaughtered Iraq, I feel like they will have a tougher time vs Scotland, but I don't think they'll be the ones left standing in this one. Match to Scotland.

   China over Brazil - I don't see this as an upset, but the Chinese team will continue to dominate early round opponents. Match to China.

   Norway over Portugal - This is almost a sure thing with King Magnus playing tomorrow. Norway had a heck of a time vs. Jamaica even with Hammer's win. This might be a sleeper match, but I think it's going to Norway.

   Two time defending Champion Armenia defeated Costa Rica in Round 1 but will have a harder time I think vs. Austrailia, who swept a weak Bahrain team in the 1st round. Armenia wins this match.

   That's it for now guys. Anyone else have anything to add to this or am I just an idiot?  LOL

ICSC? IBCA? IPCA? Are these countries, somewhere on this planet?

1) No way---

2) China is supposed to win that one

3) That's not un upset

I don't think there would be upsets tomorrow

   I never said I was a genius at this pdela LOL. I don't want to come off uneducated about this so just throw a hand grenade at me. I guess David wanted predictions for his show tomorrow morning. I'll know now to keep my mouth shut LOL 

   UPDATE:(I'm not going to update too many times today, going to wait for the round is over unless something big happens)

   Akopian(Black-(Armenia)) and Smeardon(White(Australia)) go to a draw only after 22 moves.

   1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 c5 4. c3 Nc6 5. Nf3 Qb6 6. Bd3 cxd4 7. cxd4 Bd7 8. O-O Nxd4 9. Nbd2 Bc5 10. Nxd4 Bxd4 11. Nf3 Ne7 12. Nxd4 Qxd4 13. Re1 Nc6 14. Be3 Qxe5 15. Qd2 d4 16. Bh6 Qh5 17. Bxg7 Rg8 18. Bf6 Rxg2+ 19. Kxg2 Qg4+ 20. Kf1 Qh3+ 21. Kg1 Qg4+ 22. Kf1 ½-½

UPDATE:

   Magnus Carlsen as White won his game against Luis Galego of Portugal, who resigned after Carlsen's 44th move.

   Hammer won his game as well against Diogo Fernando.

   UPDATE:

    Vladimir Kramnik and Alexander Grischuk have both won their respective games as well against Serbia.

Israel over Indonesia I think Israel is winning because Indonesia got only one GM.

Russia 2 over Venezuela Russia 2 wins with no real competiton.

Cuba over Turkemanistan Cuba wins.

  Thanks for the add Rogalentis. All help is greatly appreciated. Any predictions and results from Round 2 are also very appreciated.

NO Ukraine will beat Scotland

yup looks that way, Ukraine is up two games on Scotland with two left. I guess I'm not Chris Berman's "Swami" alter-ego LOL

UPDATE:

  Nakamura and Kamsky won their respective matches and Shulman drew, putting the U.S. up in Round 2 2.5-.5 with one game remaining.

   EDIT: Onischuk won his game after an 84 move marathon, making the U.S. victorious on Day 2 3.5-.5. Who will be next for them?

Go Aussies!

 Ian - I just looked. Australia fell to Armenia 3.5-.5 

Sorry

Belgium beat Sri Lanka 4-0.

They also beat tadjikistan 2.5-1.5 last round.

Go Team Belgium!

   Thanks Spasiba. So far so good for Belgium. It'll be interesting to see who they are up against next round. They're just going to keep getting harder.

I cannot believe Topalov escaped. I hate that guy.  Nonetheless Bulgaria fell to Croatia looks like.  A little bad blood in the Balkins I suppose.
