    Default Chess Olympiad - USA

    Was watching Nakamura's game and the official results page shows he lost, but in the "final" position he is clearly winning (white is in Zugzwang) ... what gives?

    In Susan Polger's blog she reports that on the US team Shulman discovered he had a faulty clock and then the replacement clock also was faulty - prompting his request for a new BOARD (the board and clock are connected to the mothership I guess - a sensory board for realtime transmission of the moves and time). Here is a real opportunity for monroi?
