Having a average rating with 7 points higher then our opponent’s, we had to win the game with 3.5-2.5 to win the match. We started very well, Tarik won after 12 moves to give us an early lead. One by one our guys finished their opponents, in a great evening for Poole, the final score says it all. Special thanks to Seth, he played very well against a higher rated opponent, to confirm again that he is having a very good season.
Thanks everyone for playing
