Mamedyarov gets the highest performance

Mamedyarov: The top performer

Shakhriyar Mamedyarov made a 2866 performance in Porto Carras, helping his team on the way to a silver medal. Gold medal winner on board one was Michael Adams of England. Anna Muzychuk's 8.5/9 left her well ahead of her rivals in the women's ranking list with Kateryna Lahno in second place.

In the recent European Team Championships it's interesting to look back at the individual performances, to see who was in form or not!
