European Club Cup: The favourites dominate

In the open tournament of the European Club Cup, the top clubs continued to win comfortably in the second round. But on some boards, the underdogs managed to stage some upsets. Benedict Krause, for example, took a grandmaster scalp for St. Pauli. In the Women’s Cup, Monte Carlo had to concede its first point. | Photo: Ivan Sokolov watches the action | Photos: European Chess Union and Gerd Densing
