Blitz + Crazyhouse + Hand and Brain
On Tuesday 30th November, we played not only one tournament as usually, but three different ones!
We warmed up with a “classical” blitz tournament. Albi won with the points against Paul, Roger, and Dimitris, who had only one point each.
We continued by playing Crazyhouse with all possible pairing. It was a lot of fun.
At the end, we played a few games of Hand-and-Brain.

SMM game analysis and Rapid tournament
On Tuesday 31st August, we met at GZ Bachwiesen. During the first 30 minutes, until 20:00, we analysed a game from Saturday that was played in the context of SMM. Patric was playing a strong opponent. He had to defend well for several moves until they reached a same color bishop endgame with a lot of pawns that was drawn.
After the game analysis, we played a Rapid tournament. The time control was 10 min. + 5 sec/move with 4 rounds. We have a shared win among three (!) participants: Georg, Patric, and Albi finished on the first place with three points each.

Almost at the same time, we had an online presence. Some strong players from our club chose to participate to the Swiss L3 Team Battle. The team, despite being one player short, did quite well.
