Azerbaijan head the standings of the 18th European Team Chess Championships after beating Greece 3-1 in Round 3. Spain are the only other side on 6 points after beating Romania with an interesting win from Alexei Shirov. Russia had slightly the better of their match against the Netherlands but just couldn't break through. England put in a fine performance to hold Armenia 2-2. Adams-Aronian and Movsesian-Short were drawn. Gawain Jones won on board 3 and Sargissian levelled on board 4. Leading Round 4 draw: AZE-ESP, BUL-RUS, UKR-GER, FRA-MDA, NED-SRB, GRE-GEO, LIT-ROU, ARM-CRO, CZE-HUN, ISR-ENG.

Azerbaijan took the lead with a 3-1 win over Greece. Hristos Banikas held Teimour Radjabov to a draw on the white side of a King's Indian. Vugar Gashimov couldn't convert a small advantage against Dimitrios Mastrovasilis who eventually drew in a Rook and Knight vs Rook ending. Ioannis Papaioannou went wrong with 16.h4 on the white side of a Torre Attack against Shakhriyar Mamedyarov who quickly reached a decisive advantage. Eltaj Safarli ground down Ioannis Nikolaidis on the white side of a Caro-Kann.

Spain joined Azerbaijan as the only teams left on 100% after defeating Romania 3-1. Constantin Lupulescu vs Francisco Vallejo Pons and Levente Vajda vs Ivan Salgado Lopez were drawn. Alexei Shirov played aggressively against Mircea-Emilian Parligras on the white side of a Caro-Kann where he gave up a pawn for attacking prospects and eventually broke through in the ending. Julen Luis Arizmendi Martinez beat Gergely-Andras-Gyula Szabo but the game is currently unavailable.

Russia were held 2-2 by Netherlands after four draws. Peter Svidler vs Anish Giri and Loek van Wely vs Alexander Grischuk were quick draws. Sergey Karjakin had an edge in a Rook, Knight and Pawn ending but couldn't find a way through against Jan Smeets. Daniel Stellwagen held Alexander Morozevich on the white side of a Closed Ruy Lopez where Morozevich ended up with the two bishops but no real winning chances.

Ukraine went 3rd after a 3-1 win over Croatia with lengthy grinding wins for Ruslan Ponomariov and Zahar Efimenko. Germany beat Hungary after Jan Gustafsson scored the only decisive result of the match against Csaba Balogh. Christian Bauer's aggression eventually paid off against Ilia Smirin for the decisive game in France's 2.5-1.5 win against Israel.

Veselin Topalov is still struggling with his form, he almost got past Radoslaw Wojtaszek but had to be satisfied with a draw. Instead it was Aleksander Delchev who carved open Kamil Miton's king for a fine win who took Bulgaria to a 2.5-1.5 win over Poland.

After England's shock loss to Greece they couldn't have been too happy drawing Armenia who would themselves have been looking to bounce back quickly after their loss to Azerbaijan. However the match was drawn 2-2. Michael Adams drew quickly against Levon Aronian, Nigel Short played actively as black to hold Sergei Movsesian reaonably comfortably. Vladimir Akopian played way too aggressively against Gawain Jones with black with 14...Rxa5 being dubious and 29...d3 being an outright mistake. Jones played calmly to bring home the full point. Gabriel Sargissian hugely out-rated Nick Pert and played on and on until he got the mistake he was looking for.
