With a refurbished line-up consisting of 3 Grandmasters and 2 International Masters we had a very strong team going into the first 3 games.
In the first round we defeated the solid team Upsala ASS with 7-1.
Only two draws were conceded (from admittedly lost positions).
The game in this article is from the second match, against Team Viking.
A controversial club that had a change in management over the summer, and is now aiming to play with more local players of younger age. Going into this match I thought we had a 50-50 chance, which turned out to be a fair assessment.
After a long and tough match we won 4,5-3,5.
Our strategy worked in this match. In the last round for this time we were again the favourites against Burgsvik Alva. We won 5,5-2,5 but not without difficulties.
My own result 3/3 was somewhat unexpected since I didn't play a tournament game since January. Here is my game against Team Viking, against the solid and experienced IM, Dan Cramling.
