A star at the chess board

Our dear friend Aly Cha visited us on the 12th of June with a very special guest (left on the first picture), an Emmy-awarded Hollywood star. Can you guess who? He is known for starring in White Men Can’t Jump, Zombieland, No County for Old Men, and in the Hunger Games film series.

We had a very nice blitz tournament, with some of our best blitzers fighting for the win.
In the end it was a 3-way tie at the top, the final rankings getting determined by tiebreaker scores. Excerpt of the rankings:

  1. Sacha Georges (5.5/7)

  2. Christoph Drechsler (5.5/7)

  3. Lars Bäumer (5.5/7)

  4. Arthur Tönz (5/7)

  5. Thomas Heerd (4.5/7)
