Daniel Stellwagen had fought bravely for 69 grueling moves. On move 70 the Dutch GM played the only rook move that lost him a drawn position. Azeri Vugar Gashimov seized the chance and won Gold for his team. Russia was second and Ukraine third. In the women’s section it was Russia ahead of Georgia on tiebreak points. Here, too, with Ukraine took Bronze. Final report.
