Olympiad Tweets

Tarjel J. Svensen : When Russia is facing Norway2 in the 9th round of the Chess Olympiad, it’s a clear sign that things are not (going) quite according to plan
- Both Akobian and Kamsky have been disappointing. Unfortunately you can bench only one of them.
- Yeah it’s just over, Czech Republic won 3-effing-1 against Russia. This is quite a dangerous result. Now we’re waiting for the Russian Chess Federation to sue the Czechs.
Kasparov: "The Russian CF throws a brick through your window. Then they knock on the door asking for the brick back."
#TromsoPickUpLines, so in case you need a pickup line at the party try this one: @Chessninja: “I’d love to buy you a drink but a beer here costs the average monthly salary in my country.”
- This Canadian team is impressively young. @MickeyAdamsGM was rated 2620 in 1992, when Hambleton, Hansen & Kovalyov were born.
- I honestly thought the United States would defeat Canada in the Chess Olympiad today…the big ouch. @SusanPolgar: “US lucky to tie Canada. Nakamura was near losing”.
And lastly, from Andy Stoker watching the Olympiad on the telly in England:
Flip me ... we were looking like we'd lose convincingly to Canada. India was 1 wicket down. I went out and dug the garden ... 7 wickets fell (Oh, 8 now) and some very odd things happened in the chess.
