ICC, Chessdom and Susan Polgar blog only have the top games from the round but ....
you can watch the Kiwi's live on the offical site !
Outstanding results from WIM Sue Maroroa for her draw with a Womens Grandmaster rated 319 points above her and WFM Natasha Fairley for her win against a WFM rated 427 points above her !!!
Although the mens team got crushed against a super strong Cuba side, the Womens team did an amazing job against a team seeded 13th, to the Kiwi's 70th seeded position
Outstanding, congrats to the Kiwi's girls
arrgghh... I may have spoken to soon Natasha just blundered with 67...d2 ?? in a super winning position by giving away one of her passed pawns for free
Tragic, so tragic she had played the ending very well. Looks like draw is likely, which is still a super result against a very strong player
