Swiss Teams
Yesterday saw the conclusion of the quarter finals of the JM Shah Memorial Swiss Teams event. All four matches were closely fought and the phrase "it is sad that there can be only one winner" easily came to mind. Congratulations to the winners and commiserations to the losers. Well played all of you.
The summary result is as shown below
The detailed results can be seen here. In the semi finals Maya Meera Sneha take on Team Simple while Mavericks take on Texan Aces. We wish the contestants all the best.
Earlier, in the Swiss League, Teams Maya Meera Sneha and Monica Jajoo led the field into the quarter finals with a huge lead from the rest of the field. While Dr. Sanghi's team was the 8th to qualify, the 9th and 10th ranking teams (Dipak Poddar and Setu) were just 0.08 VPs and 0.11 VPs behind them respectively. Of such stuff is tough competition made.
