This was played in a team match called The Chess Headquarters vs Alexander Grischuk Chess Club. It is being played on 148 boards. I played on board 9 for The Chess Headquarters and I unfortunately lost both of my games and was not able to help the team with any points. The match is still in progress but the winner of the match is already known. The score in the match is currently 117 - 155 in favor of Alexander Grischuk Chess Club. I have added three mate in ones, one mate in three and one mate in five moves. Until tomorrow, my fellow chess enthusiasts!
