Team USA dropped 5 games to the Ukraine in January, drew 6, and now trails 14-4. However, we finally have some winning positions (2) and should soon bottom-out at -13.
My games, which ChessBase 11 claims are among those with the least theoretical weight (bottom 6 of 128!!), are at moves 13 and 12. I've used 5 days in the Maroczy Bind and 1 in the Tarrasch French while my opponent, Vladyslav Tiba, has has used 31 and 39 days, respectively.
Btw, Tiba, who now has a FIDE-rating of 2127, is currently playing in the otb Mukachevo Cup (that would partially explain his 16 days w/o a reply) where, in round 2, he followed our game 'A' until Vasily Guivan varied with 6.g3.
