A tiny country of 3 million is on top. Behold the pedigree of the Armenian mind.

From the link:

There have been 13 rounds so far. There's only one team matchup during a round and there are 4 matches during each round. So far Armenia has won 10 of the round matchups (most wins of all teams), had 3 ties and no losses (only team to have no round losses).

Of the tough teams, Armenia has already played China, Russia and Hungary. I assume USA and Israel are next, unless they lost to a team Armenia beat. If we can at least tie them, we'll be golden (I think).

Our women's team is dong well as well (8th). I don't like that they care so much about the individual points rather than just the wins/ties/losses stats. With the latter the women's team would have the 5th place.

Your news comes almost two days too late. Armenia was crowned with gold on Sunday. Followed by China, silver, and USA, bronze. One of the US players was Varuzhan Akobian, btw.

I was just about to mention this. This is great, hope they continue winning.

The strongest chess player in the world is also half Armenian..
