Russia Scores Big Against France: LC World League Week Two

For the second consecutive week, Team Russia was the only team to score over 100 points in any Live Chess World League match. Russia defeated their sister country by flag colors, Team France, in a very convincing match. Russia came up short in the final match last year against Team Ukraine, but she looks like the team to beat in this season!

Match (and Team) of the Week: Bosnia and Herzegovina defeated the much larger nation, Team Brazil, in an exciting match in which Bosnia fielded five titled players, 20% of their team! This also makes Team Bosnia and Herzegovina our team of the week as they show that despite their small size, they are a team to be feared!
