Home Stretch

THERE are two rounds left in the world senior team championships at Hotel Izgrev on Lake Ohrid, North Macedonia.
In the main event (65+) the German club side Lasker lead with a maximum 14pts from seven matches.
They are followed by England 1 on 12, Slovakia on 10 and three teams on nine: Finland 1, Italy and Israel.
In round eight this afternoon, Italy play Lasker, Finland 1 meet England 1, and Israel face Slovakia
The team I am playing for, England 2, are 22nd, but hoping to beat their seeding of 20th.
Our match today against Sweden - seeded 21st, but placed 19th - is likely to be pivotal.
In the junior event (50+) Italy lead on 12pts, followed by Iceland and the United States on 11, England 1 on 10 and Montenegro on nine.
In round eight, Iceland play Italy, the United States have a major downfloat against 10th-placed Uruguay, and Montenegro meet England 1.
