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 !
