| emayev: madly, i'm not sure if you're being sarcastic when you say that the us had a tough road... but everyone plays a few weak teams like hongkong. They also had to play Azerbaijan (4), Russia(1), Ukraine(2), Hungary(5), and some other very strong teams. To go 8-1-2 is very impressive, ... |

Nov-21-08 J Kotainy vs V Kovalev, 2008
| |
| emayev: Completely textbook play against the isolated pawn. He attacks it with all 5 of his peices, tying down all 5 of whites peices to defence. Then he hits it with a pawn that can't be taken due to the pin. That's 6 against 5, and he wins the pawn and the game. |

Nov-20-08 Sadvakasov vs S Tatai, 1999
| |
| emayev: 19.. g6 seems to be a bad move, but 19.. h6 actually loses the queen to 20 Bg6, so perhaps the game is already lost before move 19 |
