A Hard Fought Battle
Two in a row for Crestbook Chess Club and GM Sergey Shipov!
Last time out, we saw Crestbook Chess Club cruise to victory, but this time GM Sergei Zhigalko bravely struck out on his own to challenge the reigning champions and it was a much closer affair! However, the Zhigalko fans fell just 37 points short and had to settle for 2nd place (still a great achievement and much closer than the 300 point lead of the first battle). But who can topple Crestbook? We'll find out next time!
Thanks to all the streamers leading their teams onto the battlefield, and to all the players! We had an even more diverse mix of teams this time with additional representation from the Spanish and Arabic speaking worlds. Please join us in congratulating the teams participating in this event:
