They showed to young Snowdrops, what does it mean to fight and to fight as a team. This year they won the match 17 : 15 and all the spa town applauded them.

[15.12.2012] - Will Snodrops be able to stop good running of Oldhands? The players opened the seventh round with this question.
This started by a quick draw of Fridrik Olafsson and Alina Kašlinkaja after 16 moves, when any of the two sides didn´t want to take a risk. After the beginning of the game against Wolfgang Uhlmann, Kristýna Havlíková obtained a promising position, but she didn´t continue very exactly, being in a time distress, and she broke it by a mistake that costs her one rook and she literally offered to Wolfgang the point. In the game of Vlastimil Hort with Valentina Gunina, Hort pla... [all]

Oleg Romanishin being in a better position, took advantage of Kristýna Havlíková´s small mistake to obtain a pawn. But he wasn´t satisfied just with one pawn and he continued reinforcing his position and he conducted Kristýna to resign, because of coverless menace of losing figure. Fridrik Olafsson added the second point. In an exact strategic game against Valentina Gunina, he profited of free column and forced his adversary to sacrifice the quality and soon ... [all]
