Ljubljana Turtles Flexible Lineup Defeats Reykjavik Puffins
The Ljubljana Turtles had thus far depended on their board one, GM Luka Lenic, to bring home the bacon. In the first two weeks of the PRO Chess League, he scored a league-leading 7.5/8! This week things fell apart as he only scored 1.5/4.
Fortunately for the Turtles, their boards two and four stepped up in big ways, scoring 3 and 2.5 points respectively! Here's a key draw from Luka Skuhala on board four who hung on against GM Thorhallsson who sacrificed a piece.
