Wednesday Workout: FIDE World Rapid & Blitz, Pt. 5 (Women's Olympiad Team, Past and Present)

This week's Wednesday Workout continues our series on the 2024 FIDE World Rapid & Blitz Championships, held December 26 – 31 in New York.

Our coverage of the rapid and blitz events focused on the winners, but several dozen Americans competed and many gained rating and delivered some nice upsets. So, we'll be taking a look at their games for the next few weeks!

This week, we focus on several players from the USA FIDE Women's Olympiad teams, past and present (and future). GM Irina Krush has been a staple of the American team since 1998. That's before either her 2022 teammate WGM Jennifer Yu or her 2024 teammate IM Alice Lee were born! WGM Tatev Abrahamyan, who is also featured here, has been a part of six Olympiad teams herself, too.
