 | The US is ranked 8th in men and 5th in women teams at the Dresden Olympiad. What mistakes did they make? I think there has been a lot of pressure this year to repeat past excellent performances. For example take the appointment of Kaidanov as the coach for the women's team. I know Kaidanov to emphasize calculation and he's likely to have given the women's team a study regimen prior to playing in the event. That may mean in a sense they have some burnout. Anyway, I think they've recovered from the upsets and are well prepared to face the stronger opponents at the olympiad. I'm rooting for the women and the men too.
