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.
