Gashimov beats Shirov in Spanish League

Gashimov left out of Azerbaijan team for Olympiad

By mishanp on September 9, 2010

In an ugly turn of events, Azerbaijan, previously real contenders for a gold medal at the Olympiad, have chosen to leave out Vugar Gashimov, one of their star players. This follows a bitter conflict with the team management and a nationalistic campaign against the 2719-rated player.
