Second team botches or misses the chance at promotion — everything that could go wrong went wrong, the gamble did not pay off. Apart from three draws there was nothing, and in the end the question arises whether two promotions could have been coped with; the Bezirksliga team needs to be consolidated!
Just as with the promotion of the 1st team, I was not there this time either. Marcus is the team captain, of course; he rallied the team for the final at Tarrasch and also brought two youngsters along to the match. Just as on Wednesday, when I picked up Blaz at half past seven, we arrived a good 25 minutes late and he had already been the first to report a win. A phenomenon. So Marcus’s jokers unfortunately did not come off; they lost. The full point was also not managed in a promising position against Alexander R; Corbinian stalemated. Only Alexander B and Wilfried still took half points, the others lost. It was a derby in any case, also almost without spectators (Andreas reported), and our record in the adult section at Tarrasch remained in the negative range. We lost there last season with the first team, back then still with Stephan, and were promoted afterwards. On Friday it was in any case a dramatic conclusion to an unexpectedly well-played season. A further positive and novelty for next season is that in the B-Klasse we will only have to fill seven boards, so there is room for improvement.
