Take that, Mikhail! :) (He had to see that coming.)*
In the second round of the World Team Championships, the Greek team, featuring no players in the top 100 and taking a spot that could have gone to Ukraine, beat the top-seeded Russians 2.5-1.5. Kotronias lost to Jakovenko, but this aberration was evened out by Banikas's win over Tomashevsky and overcome by Papaioannou's obliterating Morozevich in just 25 moves, with Black:
Morozevich (2732) - Papaioannou (2625), 7th World Team Championship (Bursa, Turkey), Round 2:
1. Nf3 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. g4 O-O 5. g5 Ne8 6. Rg1 d5 7. Qb3 c5 8. cxd5 Nd6 9. Bh3 Na6 10. g6 c4 11. gxh7+ Kh8 12. Qc2 exd5 13. Bxc8 Rxc8 14. Nxd5 Re8 15. Kf1 Ne4 16. Ne3 Qd7 17. Ng5 Nac5 18.

(Further objective, wholly non-partisan coverage later.) The US also won their match to go to 2-0, and in still more good news for US chess Kamsky beat Almasi in the last round of Reggio Emilia to catch him in first and to win on tiebreak.
