TL60 :: Playoffs – The Grand Finale!

News, ,

LightSpartans 3-1 Poisoned_Pawns_Curare
White marjohn 1-0 Inschipupa
Black cjldx 1-0 TGV
White Troisvierges 1-0 LLIAMAH
Black LordTyraad 0-1 Galleta

We had the psycology with us since in the previous round we won them by 3-1. It proved enough to boost our performance to the limits!

On board 1 marjohn choose a very quiet line and neverthe less won a pawn out of the opening. A couple of tactics then helped to win a piece and the game.

On board 2 cjldx played excellently with his Q, put pressure on the white K and then moved to the Q-side winning a pawn. White tried to attack the black K but the center pawns fell apart and soon found himself in a lost position. A great positional victory for Cj with black.

On board 3 Troisvierges played a very attacking and romantic line. At first he sacrificed his castling right then a rook ! Soon his initiative was converted to a winning attack against the  enemy K .

On board 4 LordTyraad played the opening with great success and soon won a pawn. Alas, he lost some crucial tempi with his light squared B and white found a tactic to win the pawn back. A few more inaccuracies made him to lose the point.

Its our very first trophy in the TL series ! Hurra !!!! Great team work !

TL60 :: R7 – Best round ever!

News,

Poisoned_Pawns_Curare 1-3 LightSpartans
White Inschipupa 0-1 marjohn
Black TGV 0-1 cjldx
White LLIAMAH 0-1 Troisvierges
Black aditinitya 1-0 LordTyraad

We won a very crucial round and most importantly both leaders in the standings lost respectively ! That gave us the first place in the final standings in the final round. How awesome is that !!

On board 1 a very specific line of the Vienna Opening has been played or you can say from the Alekhine Declined line. Marjohn sacrificed the exchange for the initiative and soon  white’s Q had trouble in the board. Another sacrifice of the N for two pawns and 3 passers were enough to bring home the victory.

On board 2 cjldx played a very cleaned game. Firstly he took control of the open file and then he put a strong N on d5.  The endgame was easily won after putting his K on d5 and capturing black’s Q-side pawns.

On board 3 troisvierges emerged from the opening with a big plus. Soon he won the exchange and after a few trades of the light pieces his 2 Bs and the R dominated the board. the endgame was easily won.

On board 4 LordTyraad after a very complex opening decided to go for the pawn exchanges in the center but lost a pawn. Shortly after he blundered a piece and soon he found himself in the defensive. He tried hard for the half point but a piece is a piece.

We go to the Playoffs with the spirit of the winner !
