Aug-11-22 Kuzubov vs Kuybokarov, 2022
| |
| optimal play: 27...Rd8??
Instead 27...Ne4 is an even game.
This was Kuybokarov's only loss in the Olympiad. Playing on board #2 he did pretty well (6/9) |

| |
| optimal play: Not a great Olympiad for Anton Smirnov
- ½ 0 1 ½ 0 0 - ½ ½ 0 (3/9) [+1/=4/-4]

Jul-31-22 A Smirnov vs I Msellek, 2022
| |
| optimal play: 13.Nb1?
Retreating the knight to e2 is better.
15.f4?
16.Nxe7+?
19.Nd2?
