Hello everyone,


A nice venue for some chess.
The Chinese League 2011 is taking place from April 12 to December 6. Ten teams are taking part in the double round robin system with 18 rounds, divided into weekends throughout the year. Rounds 4-6 were played in Chengdu on 26-28th May. You can access the official website at this link.

The matches are played on five individual boards (three men, two women), and the tournament system is not strict on following the names’ order in the basic roster, thus each team is shuffling the players for the next round. The earlier leaders Shanghai won only one match allowing the team of Beijing to take over the helm. Full individual scores bellow the images.

Round 6 standings:

Team / Matches / Wins / Draws / Losses / Match Points / Ind. Points
1. Beijing / 6 / 5 / 0 / 1 / 10 / 17.5
2. Shanghai / 6 / 4 / 1 / 1 / 9 / 18.5
3. Shandong / 6 / 3 / 1 2 / 7 / 18.5
