Wins for the Ukraine and Russia I kept them at the top of the standings. France moved third. Vassily Ivanchuk lost his first game of the event. Magnus Carlsen and Veselin Topalov both draw in losing causes.

Ukraine maintained the lead with a 2.5-1.5 victory over Azerbaijan in spite of their hero Vassily Ivanchuk being defeated for the first time by Shakhriyar Mamaedyarov.

Sebastian Feller's win against Tamaz Gelashvili moved the French team into the medal positions with just two rounds to go. Israel moved third after edging Hungary 2.5-1.5. Judit Polgar took too many risks in trying to win against Ilia Smirin and lost the only decisive game.

England drew 2-2 against Russia 3. David Howell lost to Sergei Rublevsky but Gawain Jones leveled things aginst Nikolai Kabanov.

One of the problems is that FIDE delegates don't understand why outsiders are so angry at them for supporting Kirsan Ilyumzhinov. And apparently delegates see nothing wrong in voting for him. I would never shake hands with the man, and will endeavour never to be in the same room as him. Kasparov vents his frustration and apparently this cost Karpov a small number of votes. Kasparov already knew they had lost.
