Tournament review

The event borrows ideas from the China-USA match, like that series this one will last four years, China will host the match in 2001 and 2003 while Russia will be the host in 2002 and 2004. They are playing for the Riverside Weicheng Estate Cup. There is a Men's match (over six boards), a Women's match and a Junior match (both over three boards).
