The male chess team of Montenegro was defeated by Ukraine, while the female chess players celebrated against Iceland, in the sixth round of the 45th Chess Olympiad in Budapest.
The chess players, after great victories against France and Germany, lost to Ukraine 2,5:1,5.
The first duel ended on the second board where Nikita Petrov easily drew with the legendary Vasilij Ivančuk with a precise game.
Luka Drašković and Aleksandar Oniščuk drew after a correct game on both sides, and Ukraine was led by former world champion Ruslan Ponomarjov, who defeated Nikola Djukić.
In an extremely dynamic position, Đukić did not find the best response to Ponomarjov's initiative, who turned all indiscretions into points with precise play.
For a long time on the first board, Denis Kadrić tried to create chances to win the game, but after a long fight in a mutually accurate game, a draw was concluded, so the Montenegrin chess players suffered a second defeat.
The impression of the day was improved by the female chess players, who beat Iceland 3:1.
The victory of Mateja Popović on the fourth board, who showed a great game in her debut appearance and came to the victory, stands out in particular.
Aleksandra Žerebcova and Alena Skvortsova were confident, outplaying their opponents with precise play.
Aleksandra Milović's defeat did not prevent the Montenegrin national team players from scoring two new points, i.e. the fourth victory in the Olympics so far.
After the sixth round, the Montenegrin national teams have four wins and two losses each.
Tomorrow is a day off, and the 45th Chess Olympiad continues on Wednesday with the games of the seventh round.
