Olympiad - Men's Pairings - Round One

   I'm still trying to get more updates guys. I'm sure there is stuff I missed, plus I have a Dr. appt. later but I will try to post a complete list of winners later on for both Men's and Women's 1st Rounds and see if the Round 2 pairings are set, then, two more threads will go up for the 2nd round women's/men's.

   I don't know if the Chessdom site or the Ugra site listed above stopped updating it's current games or all the games for Round 1 are over. I know they had problems this morning because of the massive traffic overload, but things should be cooled off now I suspect. Hmm

  UPDATE:

   Sam Collins of Ireland prevents Russia 1 from sweeping the first round by drawing with Alexander Grischuk after a brilliant defense. Russia 1 goes 3.5-.5 in the first round.

  EDIT: The U.S. clean sweeps their first round match against the Faroer Islands
