Russia Wins the Bronze at the U16 Olympiad

Iranian team won the gold medals.

In the 10th round of the Junior Chess Olympiad our team defeated Turkey 2.5-1.5 (Aleksey Sarana and Semyaon Khanin won their games, Savely Golubov made a draw, Andrey Esipenko lost).

Iran took the first place with 16 team points (29.5 board points). India finished second with 16 team points and 29 board points. Russia also collected 16 team points, but had fewer board points – 27, and therefore finished third.

We congratulate our players and their trainer Mikhail Kobalia with their successful performance!
