Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Incorrect. It is not the last chance. Last round if Armenia lose to Ukraine and China beats Hungary then China wins. Note that China is only .5 pts away in the game points and so with a win for them in last round and loss for Armenia will have tied for match points but China will be ahead in game points.
If Armenia-Ukraine is a draw (probable) then Armenia gets gold and Russia can get bronze (over Ukraine) with the smallest of victories over India because of board points. Hungary has to hope that they beat China and the Ukraine loses to have a chance at a bronze.
China winning over Hungary could get them at least a silver, but even a gold if Armenia loses (1. China, 2. Armenia, 3. Ukraine). Armenia-Ukraine drawing, China-Hungary drawing, then Russia must win at least 3-1 to have a chance at a silver (1. Armenia 2.Russia 3. China). Russia lost to China in their match, so they have to get 22.5 points if China draws (22.0 points).
If Armenia LOSES by 3-1 (or worse) to the Ukraine and China draws, then Ukraine would get the gold, Armenia silver and China/Russia bronze. Russia would have to win by at least 3-1 in this scenario for a bronze.
