“It was a good fight!”

Έστω και ετεροχρονισμένα παρουσιάζουμε σήμερα τις νίκες των παικτών μας από το ματς κυπέλλου με την Κέρκυρα την προηγούμενη εβδομάδα. Το ματς έληξε ισόπαλο 2-2, αλλά στα κριτήρια η νίκη στην πρώτη σκακιέρα (Κούλης Β. vs Σκέμπρης Σπυρίδων) και την 4η (Σ. Μακρής vs Αλ. Γεωργιάδης) εξασφάλισαν στην ομάδα της Κέρκυρας το κύπελλο της περιοχής και τη συνέχεια της στο θεσμό. Εμείς θα δούμε τις παρτίδες των Δ. Καίσαρη και Γ. Παπαγεωργίου που κέρδισαν αντίστοιχα τους Σ. Τρύφωνα και Α. Λευθεριώτη.
