Down by a point heading into the third round, the team played well and made its two White pieces count. 2-1. David Bissell actually had a great position. He could have taken a draw but kept fighting which is the way chess should be played. Dejan Radic made his team debut. Sherry played well again.
The league continues in December.

Tri-Cities vs. Lightning 7-2 win!!
This was our strongest line-up by rating. NM Marek Radzikowski 2235 (USA), NCM Vas Sladek 2159, David Bissell 1727 CFC but this isn't accurate, David is much stronger. With the exception of one blunder, the team played well against our young opponents.
Round 1: 2.5-0.5; Round 2: 1.5-1.5; Round 3: 3-0.

Round 7 February 24, 2018
Tri-Cities vs. VCS3 6-3 WIN!!
Tri-Cities finished the season in third place! That was the goal in this last round. Luckily, David Bissell was on fire as he disposed of the low-rated juniors with impressive efficiency. Lan and I struggled. I escaped with a first round draw; Len lost twice. But it's OK, we achieved our goal. Finishing 3rd is a big deal.
