TL60 :: R5 – Draw by equalizing

TrickyMove 2-2 LightSpartans
White josecapablanca 0-1 marjohn
Black Knoeier 0-1 cjldx
White LightKnight 1-0 Troisvierges
Black Introspection 1-0 LordTyraad

The round started with a quick 2-0 for the team of TrickyMove but hopefully at the end we equalized to 2-2 !!

On board 1 marjohn got a passive position from an Alekhine against the legendary josecapablanca (!!), but the timetrouble at the endgame made josecapablanca to commit the crucial mistake and thus black won.

On board 2 cjldx played a very interesting and aggresive opening line and he tied down Knoeier, 19 moves were enough to get the full point easily.

On board 3 Troisvierges done pretty well at the opening stage even if he had the black pieces, alas a blunder at move 26 gave the opportunity to his opponent to mate via the back rank.

On Board 4 LordTyraad’s bad choice not to fiancheto the white bishop gave him a hard time. He managed to get the exchange but blacks two bishops were far stronger than his R and B.

We now dropped at 3rd position but there is still time to get a playoff ticket !
