Azerbaijan and France agreed a package deal draw in Round 5 of the European Team Championships with all games finishing in less than 20 moves. Personally I would be in favour of these draws being banned. Teams can't be trusted not to do it so I guess it has to be Sofia rules, but there seems no appetite for change within FIDE. Time after time I see potentially interesting matches in the Olympiads and European Teams end like this. This is in my view a bigger problem than individual draws which have reduced in recent years.

Apparently the draw was agreed after Vugar Gashimov started to feel unwell and then France offered the draw. This is a slightly better circumstance but I still do not believe agreeing all games drawn is in the spirit of the game. By all means Gashimov's opponent could have agreed a draw.

Bulgarian went top beating Germany 3-1 Veselin Topalov won again on top board, with black against Arkadij Naiditsch. Topalov kept posing problems and Naiditsch's position fell apart on the run up to the first time control. Ivan Cheparinov kept the pressure up on Georg Meier with out and out aggression until he broke through. The other games were drawn.

Ivan Cheparinov's style is often all or nothing. Here it seems his judgement is correct and white must break through.

30. Bf6! gxf6 31. exf6 Qxd1 32. Bxd1 Rf8 33. Bh5 Nxf6 34. Be8 Re7 35. Qxh6+ Nh7 36. Bg6 Rf6 37. Qh4 1-0

Hosts Greece won yet again. Francisco Vallejo Pons and Hristos Banikas agreed a draw by mutual cowardice in the position below. Dimitrios Mastrovasilis held on to draw against Alexei Shirov, Salgado drew with Papaioannou and then Stelios Halkias the only player in the Greek team more highly rated than his opponent beat Arizmendi Martinez in 54 moves for a final score of Greece 2.5 Spain 1.5.

Levente Vajda beat Ivan Sokolov in a game where Sokolov was pressing until just after first time control but then things rapidly spun out of control for him and Vajda finished things nicely. This allowed Romania to beat the Netherlands.

43... c4 44. b4 Qxa4 45. e6 fxe6 46. fxe6 Rd5 47. e7 Re8 48. Qf8+ Kh7 49. Rf1 Bxh5 50. Rg3 Rg5 51. Rxg5 hxg5 52. Qf5+ Bg6 53. Qh3+ Kg8 54. Qe6+ Kh7 55. Kf2 Bh5 56. Rh1 g6 57. Qf7+ Kh6 58. Qf8+ Kh7 59. Ne4 1-0

In the match of the under-performers Russia beat Ukraine 2.5-1.5. Peter Svidler probably missed something concrete against Vassily Ivanchuk before the game finished in a draw. Ponomariov-Grischuk was also drawn. Alexander Morozevich beat Alexander Moiseenko in the only decisive game. Efimenko-Nepomnichtchi was a short draw.

42. f4+ Kd4 43. exf5 exf5 44. Kd1 Rc8 45. Nf3+ Ke3 46. Ne5 f6 47. Re2+ Kd4 48. Nf3+ Kd3 49. Ne1+ Kd4 50. Nc2+ Kc5 51. Ne3 Re8 52. Nxf5 Rxe2 53. Kxe2 Na4 54. Nxh6 Nxb2 55. h4 c3 56. Nf5 Kd5 57. h5 Ke6 58. h6 1-0

England beat Lithuania 3-1 with wins for Adams, Jones and Pert. David Howell who is now at University seems very short of form.

Armenia beat Denmark 3.5-0.5. The game between Sune Berg Hansen and Levon Aronian looks to have finished in a mad time scramble. Aronian was mostly on top but blundered with 34...Rg7 after which Hansen could have won on the spot with 35.Qxe8!! Hansen was winning for the next few moves before 38. fxe8=Q?? allowed Aronian to give mate. There were further wins for Vladimir Akopian and Gabriel Sargissian.

35. Rg1?

35.Qxe8!! Rex8 36.Nxf6 mate was stronger.

35....Nf7 36. g6+ Kh8 37. gxf7 Qxe3 38. fxe8=Q??

38.Rg6 or 38.Ng5.

38....Qh3+ 39. Rh2 Rxg1+ 0-1
