FIDE Women's World Team Championship 2011 (17-12-2011/28-12-2011)

Round 2, we lost against Georgia.

In the 2nd round we lost against the strong team of Georgia with 2½ - 1½. Lilit Mkrtchian, Lilit Galojan and Maria Kursova played a draw with their opponents. I was already very bad right after the opening and I couldn't overcome the problems. My 10...Qc7 was already a bad move, instead of that I had various moves that were much better. After my horrible 11...Bxc3 Dzagnidze continued in the strongest way and she found a nice winning combination. For me not a good beginning of the tournament and of course the saddest part is that team also lost.

After 2 rounds Georgia is leading, together with China (which defeated South Africa with 4 - 0) and Russia, which manage to win the tough match against Ukraine.
