The first round of the European Team Chess Championship 2015 turned out to be anything but easy for the stronger teams. Higher ranked teams like Norway (who rested Carlsen for Round 1), Czech Republic and Latvia were shocked by Montenegro, Denmark and Finland respectively.
Plenty of good teams were held to draws as well. Of note were draws by Moldova and Austria against Hungary and Poland respectively. Although most teams shed a few board points, Armenia and Georgia managed to record 4-0 victories over their respective opponents.
