Interviews Wojtaszek & FtacnikInterviews Wojtaszek & Ftacnik
National champion Baden-Baden finished their Bundesliga weekend with another small victory: 4,5-3,5 against Hamburg, who actually won on the first three boards 2-1. Like McShane, Wojtaszek held world champion Anand on a draw (and he told us more about it before the camera), Bacrot couldn't break "Gusti's" resistance and Vallejo Pons lost again; this time he was mated by Ftacnik (who also tells us more about the game in a video).Trier lost again 2,5-5,5, against Bremen. Most clubs played their 6th and 7th rounds this weekend, but for Baden-Baden and three other clubs it was only the 3rd and 4th. Next weekend the team from Baden will do some catching up in their home town.Standings after this third BL-weekend:1. SV M?ɬºlheim Nord 7 11 33?Ǭ? 2. Werder Bremen 7 10 33?Ǭ? 3.
