With an amazing performance, the U.S. Team won the World Team Championship 50+ in Struga, Macedonia.
Twenty-two teams signed up for the Team Championship this year.
Among those are strong squads such as England, Iceland, and Italy.
Here is the complete list and the final standings:
Team USA suffered only a defeat against Italy in round seven.
But the USA defeated Poland 4-0 in the last round, ensuring Gold!
Our GM Alex Yermolinsky, played a weaker opponent, and the finish of the game is amazing.
Italy had to settle for a draw against the though N. Macedonian Team, which had already held to a draw the USA Team.
Congratulations to the five musketeers!
