FIDE: Armenia Holds Russia to 2:2 Draw, Ukraine Beats Russian Women
2:1
Armenia held Russia to a 2:2 draw to remain tied for the lead at 15.5
points after 5 rounds. Russian star Vladimir Kramnik beat rising
talent Levon Aronian but Gabriel Sargissian evened the score at the
expense of Alexander Morozevich. The match of the leaders was
cordoned off to control other players from crowding them.
In the women`s division, Ukraine won 2:1 to end the winning streak of
Russia who, however, held on to a slim half point lead. Natalia
Zhukova beat Alexandra Kosteniuk while the other two boards were
drawn.
