After 10 rounds in the Batumi Chess Olympiad (Open) there is still one undefeated team. Guess who? Germany!
Crunch time is imminent at the #World #Senior #Team #Chess #Championships in Germany. Tomorrow England's first teams in both the 50+ and 65+ will be live in the top matches against USA and Russia respectively,
