In Hamburg four teams clashed in cafeteria of a big insurance company, just a hop, skip and jump away from the ChessBase office – which is why we bring you impressions from this location


Bremen vs König Tegel, under an original Bodo Korsig woodcut on paper


In spite of spending a long evening with us on Friday, enjoying a bucket of Kentucky Fried and honing the article on poker, IM Almira Skripchenko, rated 2441, took a full point for Werder Bremen against FM Andreas Breier, 2431 (who seems to know what is coming).
