On November 10th 2019, we held our first home match and welcomed the second team of SVG Eppstein. It was a match between equals and for this reason, the end result of 4:4 was not a surprise.
At the top board, Peter soon agreed to a draw. Franzi fell for a surprise in the opening and subsequently was not able to save the game. Dražen then marked the equalizer at board 7. Manfred, who stood in for the missing Georg Arnold, and Adam both contributed half a point, whereas Helmut had to resign after losing material. Thus, the score after five hours was 2½:3½ – but Michael could be depended on; with queen against rook and knight he was able to increase his advantage and eventually promoted a pawn. Last but not least Walter secured the final half-point from a totally equal position for the end result of 4:4.
This has now put us in second, and even though we are trailing the leader by two points already, we are still able to muscle into the fight for promotion.
