[ALBSA-Info] Kampionati Boteror i Shahut

[Agron Alibali]

A record 126 men's teams and 84 women's teams are
contesting the 34th World Chess Olympiad at Istanbul,
Turkey. England made a sound start with a 3.5-0.5 win
over Albania, although in a competition being decided
on game points and not match points, Tony Miles's
failure to win on board 4 was a little unfortunate. 

England's women won 3-0, also against Albania. There
was a win for 16-year old Heather Richards who was
making her debut. 

British and Irish scores: England 3.5-0.5 Albania
(wins for Short, Adams and Hodgson; draw for Miles);
Scotland 4-0 Sri Lanka; Ireland 4-0 Panama; Azerbaijan
4-0 Guernsey; Canada 3.5-0.5 Jersey; Wales 0.5-3.5
Croatia. 

Women's Olympiad: England 3-0 Albania (wins for Hunt,
Lalic and Richards); Wales 0-3 Vietnam; Scotland
0.5-2.5 Germany; Ireland 0-3 India.
