Man könnte geradezu meinen, Südafrika sei ein schachlicher Hotspot auf diesem Planeten – zum dritten Mal in diesem Turnier treffen wir in der Clubs League auf ein Team von dort. Diesmal wird unser Gegner die African Chess Lounge sein.
Das Team-Match ist geplant für Samstag, den 4. Juli um 19:00 Uhr (deutscher Zeit, also MESZ = UTC+2). Der Termin ist inzwischen bestätigt.

Man sieht, wir stehen im Moment auf Rang 43, die ACL auf Rang 46. Wenn ich mir die bisher eingesetzten Spieler des Gegners so anschaue, wage ich allerdings die Prognose, dass dies für uns endlich mal wieder eine lösbare Aufgabe sein sollte – immer vorausgesetzt natürlich, wir kriegen genügend unserer Top-Leute an die Bretter.
Also Freunde, bitte reserviert euch am kommeden Samstag wieder die Stunde zwischen 19:00 und 20:00 Uhr und seid rechtzeitig auf dem Server! Ich hoffe, die Jungs von chess.com fahren dann zum Starttermin nicht schon wieder gemütlich einen geplanten Reboot ihres Servers…
