Round 6 T55 - U1600 wraps up the Division win and on to the playoffs! Boards 1 and 2 were unavailable so we started with 3 players and a game down, however team rallied and we swept the competition 3-1! Here are the games 1 - Who's afraid of the English? fireball turns the tables with the Reverse Sicilian!
2 - nidusin2 scores an elegant mate with a Knight while ignoring opponent gobbling up material!
3 - Very sharp play here - monkeyshark wins the tactical battle, a Rook and the game!

First post with some Notable games from Team4545 T55. I confess I started editing this Blog Round 1, and now focus on last 2 rounds (5-6) of Tournament.
Round 5
Brilliant working by lacibacsi of first a Bishop sacrifice,
then taking second pawn and forcing the sacrifice when refused, followed by a
Rook exchange sacrifice forcing a Queen-Rook exchange by opponent.
A sharp King's Indian Attack which fireball loses after missing a key move. Classic double Queen/King side attack with Opponent running the Queen side attack after King side attack falters!
Round 1
PawnPusher3 employs a cool Queen sac for a quick win! A bust for the Pirc Defense?!
GOTW Round 1! See http://team4545league.org/gameforum/showgotw.php?forum_id=138 and video at http://youtu.be/BvTdSRi4vow
And the point of the game is... checkmate opposing king! fireball has an even quicker win.
Opposite sides castle - whoever gets the pawns there first wins! hondocando shows how its done.
A premature sac is fatal - monkeyshark is ahead when the smoke clears!
