Alexandra checked out the playing hall of the chess Olympiads today and will participate in the Opening Ceremony tonight. Tomorrow will be the first round. The official site of the Chess Olympiads can be found by clicking here. If you want to see a full listing of all teams and players, click here for the women’s statistics, and here for the men’s statistics. On those pages you will see that the Russian women’s average Elo is 2499, ahead of the Ukraine (2441), Georgia (2430), Hungary (2426), the USA (2414), China (2408), and the last team with an average Elo above 2400 Elo is Armenia (2402). It will be a hard fight for the Gold!
