Russia beats China, moves into final
India destroyed USA 5-1 in the opening set but a resurgent USA hit right back to win the second 4-2 to force the blitz tie-breaker in the second semifinals of the FIDE Online Chess Olympiad on Tuesday.
In the first semifinal, Russia expectedly defeated second seed China in two sets. After getting past 3.5-2.5 in the first set, Russia made it more easily in the second and finished with a 4-2 triumph.
