The 5th World Team Championship in Yerevan dominated chess news today. It saw a highly dramatic finish, with the two leaders clashing in the last round. Russia was half a point ahead of the Ukraine and would have been happy with a draw. However, the Russians lost and the Ukraine won the championship, thanks to Ponomariov's win over Dreev.
