    GM Sergey Tiviakov: "The match against Russia, on rating the strongest team of the championship, was one of the most important from the whole event. And the convincing victory in this match brought us the necessary confidence in our strength and completely demoralised our opponents, who lost several other matches afterwards.

Well, it was a very wise decision - to meet the strongest team not in the strongest set-up. As a result I moved 1 board up from board 3 to 2, playing Dreev with White (instead of Motylev with Black - he could have tried to break down my Dragon defencies!)" …
