Mandatory task in the U20 Landesliga accomplished!
Against SK München Südost we were clear favourites on boards 2-4. Apart from Tugrul on the fourth board, however, Ardian and Niklas had a hard time with their opponents. Tugrul confidently liquidated the game into a pawn endgame with two extra pawns. Ardian had let a clear winning position slip in the opening, and the opponent came back into the game and set Ardian puzzles to solve, so that he afterwards had to play almost flawlessly to fend off the opponent’s wild attacks. Niklas used up a lot of time, but his routine ultimately paid off against the inexperienced opponent. Elias on the first board, on the last undecided board, was even winning against the overwhelming favourite, but the more experienced opponent exploited a decisive moment of carelessness and took the consolation point for Südost. All in all we can be satisfied with the result and hope that we can play the double round on 11 December.
