Carlsen Falters At Olympiad
After round four at the Chess Olympiad in Khanty-Mansiysk, seven teams have won all their matches in the Open section so far.
There were few surprises in round four, with team results going to form. However, there was a big individual scalp claimed when the Georgian Baadur Jobava did what "The World" failed to do recently by convincingly beating world #1 Magnus Carlsen.
Both the Russia 1 and Russia 2 teams are still among the leaders, but Russia 3 lost to Armenia.
Russia 1 beat the USA 3-1 thanks to wins by Grischuk (against Kamsky) and Karjakin (against Onischuk).
All the results and games are available at the official website. The chess-results website also has information on all the results.
