Today appears – I didn’t know – to be a rest day in the 40th World Team Championships in Turkey. England, paired with Italy, will have to wait until tomorrow to see what the Italians have prepared for them. Expect fireworks! Leading scores, regardless of board or nationality, are: A Grischuk (Russia), L Le Quang (Vietnam), R Phillips (Mauritius), M Al-Modiahki (Qatar), A Volokitin (Ukraine) & D Fridman (GER) all 4.5/5. A special mench for J-Xavier Nyambalo (Malawi) who has 4/5. Six rounds remain! http://www.chessolympiadistanbul.com/
