In that case they also strangely played an identical game to Louise yesterday. Hopefully it doesn't mean there was a default, so yesterdays game has been left showing (which was a draw)Richard Bates wrote: ↑Sat Nov 20, 2021 2:36 pmSo if chess24 is to be believed board 2 in the women’s match was for some reason played early. I’m assuming it was a draw by repetition rather than black win, although white seems to be +57 in the final position...!![]()

Re: European Team Chess Championship 2021
all relatively quiet so far though Luke's position certainly seems the easier to play, and well, you trust Gawain in that kind of KID mess.

Re: European Team Chess Championship 2021

and the opponent has just played something other than the computer's first move (31). it was still the second best move, though.

Re: European Team Chess Championship 2021
gawain plays a tempo. SF now of the view that it should be tenable even if white keeps his nerve.

Well that could have gone the other way.
Grischuk maybe should have beaten Firouzja today.

Re: European Team Chess Championship 2021
I think we deserved our win today. Gawain's attack was strong in a practical sense and you don't expect your opponent to show computer like defence indefinitely.JustinHorton wrote: ↑Sat Nov 20, 2021 5:54 pmWell that could have gone the other way.

France could beat Russia, if lagarde holds his nerve.
