The ETCC is over, but some of the games played there will be long remembered.
The top honor in the men's section went to Azerbaijan, well deserved!
The whole team played fantastic chess. And they also had a top-striker. Rauf Mamedov. Azerbaijani's fourth board was the engine of the team. He played all the games and scored the unbelievable 8/9. With a performance of 2920 rating points he convincingly won the board gold medal. He was all over the place, posted on twitter and facebook, cheered up the team and the fans till the end.
But of course, the best thing that he did was how he played. The following game was in my opinion the pearl in the Azeri crown at this tournament.
