PoCo chess club loses to SFU 4-5 in rapid league

The round 5 matches of the Vancouver Rapid League were rescheduled for Thursday February 16. Thursday is the one day I can't get away so David Bissell became the captain and we had to scramble to find two players.
​And we did. Javid Mavaddat (1800) and Anna Van (1430) came to play for our team against SFU. The scores matched the order of appearance.
​David Bissell came through with 3/3, Javid scored 1/3 and Anna (0/3). Anna found the fast 15 10 time control challenging. I know how she feels. I practice it on chess.com with 15 10 rapid tournaments. It takes time.

​Our next match will be more difficult as we face the Chigorin Chess Club which is captained by NM/FIDE CM Roman Jiganchine. Monday February 27, 2017 at 5:30.
