        But isn’t it a little unsporting of the Azeris to put an elite GM on board 4? He’s not the fourth strongest player on their team.

        This is team competition. There is nothing unsporting in a match-up strategy that will likely give the most points to the team. In basketball, this is called “mismatch opportunities”. Kobe Bryant looks for this all the time.

        You have to change Robson’s title to GM now. FIDE has approved his title, per your earlier post.
