Top Boards Tie, U.S. Sweeps Rd. 5 in Dresden
Top boards tighten in Dresden. Russia and Germany split and eight teams are within one point of the leaders. Armenia and the Netherlands had a lot of good games. Remember this year the no draw within 30 moves rule is in full effect. There have been reports of people repeating the position way past the three moves, but you can't agree on a draw until after the 30 moves. Here are the rest of the results for the top boards.
