Women's - Rd. 4 - In Progress
( 1:08 PM ) Now Irina has won her game on Bd. 4 so Canada leads 1.5 -.5
Dagne got a nice tactical exchange where she has ended up with R + 2 connected, passed pawns on the 6th rank vs B + N.
Hazel's game is still in progress but she is down a passed P.

Women's - Rd. 4 - Completed
Yuanling has lost. The match is tied so far.
Hazel's game is still in progress, but to me she looks lost - she has N vs 2 connected passed P's on the 3rd and 4th rank, and her K is way out of position.
Immediate Update - Hazel just resigned.
So final score : Canada 1.5 - 2.5 England .

Rd. 5 Pairings
Canada lost both matches in Rd. 4 : 1.5 - 2.5 [ National team ( # 43 ) vs Scotland ( # 46 ); Women's ( # 53 ) vs England ( # 31 )].
Pairings for Rd. 5 :
National Team - Bd. 27 Yemen ( # 82/ 4 MP/ 6.5 GP ) vs Canada ( # 43/ 4 MP/ 10.5 GP )
Women's - Bd. 21 Nigeria ( # 111/ 4 MP/ 5.5 GP ) vs Canada ( # 53/ 4 MP/ 9.5 GP )
As in Rd. 3, Canada's opponents for Rd. 5 are substantially weaker, and we should see some good results.
Canada's National team is now in 52nd place ( of 154 - worse than their ranking ) and the women's team is 40th ( of 114 - better than their ranking ).

www.chessbase.com and www.chessbase.de offer picture reports (haven't seen any Canadian face yet or haven't recognized
A little bit related to Canada: Irina Krush and Lev Psakhis (now the coach for India) at http://russiachess.org/content/view/2921/377

Rd. 5 - National Team - In Progress
Rd. 5 National Team Pairing - Bd. 27 Yemen ( # 82/ 4 MP/ 6.5 GP ) vs Canada ( # 43/ 4 MP/ 10.5 GP )
On Bd. 4 , IM Nikolay Noritsyn, 2007 Canadian Champion, plays IM Basheer Al Qudaimi. I ( read Fritz ) will be doing live analysis of this game on the chess website, Chess5 ( www.chess5.com ) - today I have the colours right - LOL !! Go to the homepage and click on " Public Games " to get the November list of games. Find the game and click on " View " and you will get a board and the score, with analysis ( it takes a few seconds for the game to load ). Hope you find it interesting.
