Pogo drew with the White pieces against Lagno in the first game of their Round 3 match.

Yeah, but I already reported that 4-2 round 2 result in post #13 on page 1. The first game of round 3 has also been played (a draw).

You're behind the times, son! Set your clock ahead!

Round 3 game 2 Lagno vs Pogo was another draw, in a Ruy Lopez Breyer.

Round 3 tie break is continuing. Pogo vs Lagno was tied after 2 games, then game 3 was a draw, and game 4 is now underway... a 4 Knights which looks pretty equal at the moment.

I hope she wins.

It's a pretty tense match. Pogo is the underdog... a WGM facing a GM opponent.

Avatar of abcx123

She has done pretty well so far and you never know ...

In the Blitz round, Pogo lost game 5 (as black) so she must win game 6 (as white) in order to force a sudden-death overtime round.

Avatar of blueemu

Pogo wins her game 6 and levels the match!

Now we go to sudden death!

Avatar of abcx123

I'm so tense;

Avatar of blueemu

Lagno wins the sudden death blitz game, and Pogo is eliminated.

She had a good run, though.

Walt Kelly made a comic strip about Pogo!... doesn't look much like her, though.

She can be proud of her achievements.
