Precision matters
The winners from the SF Deizisau were not the only Germans playing in the final phase of the European Club Cup. Also playing was the Hamburger SK, Karsten Müller’s club. The grandmaster took a close look at two endgames from round 6, when his team faced the Cercle d’Echecs de Monte Carlo, the winners of the European Women’s Club Cup.
Elisabeth Paehtz drew Rasmus Svane on board 2, while Aleksandra Goryachkina and Nils Grandelius also split a point on top board.
The HSK did score a full point on board 4 though, as Almira Skripchenko lost to Julian Kramer after allowing Kramer’s bishop to escape from its ‘prison cell’.
