I'm not looking back to my own game with much pleasure. From around 14.00 I was suffering, until Black suddenly made a mistake.

Jan Werle won an important game against Friso Nijboer. In a Ruy Lopez Nijboer didn't react resolutely enough to Werle's central push d6-d5 and then he couldn't fight himself back into the game anymore.

Stellwagen is winning everything at the moment and in this match he saved the honour by being the only HSG player to collect a full point. During the press conference he said he wanted to inspire his team mates with his game, but to his disappointment this was not reflected in the final result.

To conclude, a great fight on board 10 where the opponents played until the last seconds.
