"Friday CLASH" event #15 REVIEW!
"Friday CLASH" events are back as "Friday CLASH" event #15 took place last Friday! Let's REVIEW it!
1. The Swiss part.
The first round games were REAALLY short - under 20 moves each!
@champion-19 continued his losing streak with a blunder, which cost him the whole game. @rogerbr13 grabbed another point by outplaying @italianman1.
In the third round, @champion-19 fought hard to score at least one point but lost his game vs @rogerbr13. @BoraBoy finished second in the tournament after a win over @italianman1.
All Swiss part games:
These games were analyzed by Mr "Anonymous"!
2. The Knockout.
The Semifinals' pairs were: @champion-19 vs @italianman1, @rogerbr13 vs @BoraBoy.
@champion-19 0 - 3 @italianman1
@champion-19's main problem throughout "Friday CLASH" events was time: more than 20% of his games were lost by timeout! And time let him down in the first Semifinal of the "Friday CLASH" event #15. Relive it with @kraunak60, our new member of the "analysts" team:
@rogerbr13 3 - 1 @BoraBoy
@BoraBoy played his best chess but couldn't stop his higher-rated opponent, @rogerbr13:
The Final.
@rogerbr13 3 - 0 @italianman1
@rogerbr13 crushed his opponent on the way to his third "Friday CLASH" event victory! Congratulations!
@rogerbr13 won the "Friday CLASH" event #15 and scored 25 points, @italianman1 finished 2nd and scored 20 points, @champion-19 and @BoraBoy both earned 15 points. @rogerbr13 scored 5 bonus points for winning the Swiss part of the event.
