POST SEASON
Cmon, everyones supposed to be excited. :)
Here are the line ups,
The first game to finish was a Christiansen specialty in the Paulsen, and I coincidentally had a lesson with Larry yesterday. He showed me what Stripunsky played. Stripunsky blundered and resigned in a lost position.
Esserman and Vovsha duked it out to a hard fought draw. Tactical skirmishes and team thinking was what happened at the end, as Krasik was already winning. Perpetual ensured.
Krasik was the next to win. I was sure the drama queen would blunder and mess it up by drawing. Queens had draw odds and since Eugene was losing, he had to not blunder. However, he won with surprising ease.
Eugene lost to Dimitri. A well fought game with a shaky exchange sac. The game was a toss away since Boston already won.
On the other hand, Carolina beat New York 3.5-0.5, surprising all of the predictors. Everybody assumed that Carolina got lucky winning the division title and New York was hot off 4 straight wins. Also, the Cobras also have what some might say, the weakest roster.
Well, Congratulations to Boston, and a tip of my hat to Carolina for proving that they are not pushovers.
Here are the line ups,
| 1. | GM Larry Christiansen (2670) | 1-0 | GM Alex Stripunsky (2601) |
| 2. | IM Dmitry Schneider (2508) | 1-0 | GM Eugene Perelshteyn (2619) |
| 3. | Marc Esserman (2307) | 1/2-1/2 | IM Eli Vovsha (2532) |
| 4. | Aleksander Ostrovskiy (2042) | 0-1 | Ilya Krasik (2144) |
| Boston Blitz | 2 1/2-1 1/2 | Queens Pioneers |
