Russia imperial, while Azerbaijan beat Armenia

The Russian women's team

Azerbaijan won 3-1 in the biggest clash of the second round, with the Russian team looking ominously efficient against a useful Czech side. The other teams on two victories from two are Romania, Greece and Spain. In the women's section, there are also five leaders including Russia and Romania.

For the winning team in the 'Caucasus derby', Gashimov and Guseinov were the winners for Azerbaijan, with Radjabov and Mamedyarov drawing with Black.

Wojtaszek led a 4-0 win

There were even some 4-0 results, for example Poland's win over Finland.
