GCL Season 3: SG Pipers Meet Holders Continental Kings In Final; Ganges Grandmasters To Face Alaskan Knights For Third Place (Ld)
World Rapid Champion Volodar Murzin: Leon Luke Mendonca’s draw on the prodigy board was worth more than a win for Alpine SG Pipers as they qualified for the final against table-topper Triveni Continental Kings despite losing their last league match 6-11 against PBG Alaskan Knights in Season 3 of the Global Chess League (GCL) at the Royal Opera House in Mumbai on Friday.
Alpine SG Pipers had their fate in their own hand in their final league game as they were locked on 15 match points with Ganges Grandmasters and needed to either beat Alaskan Knights or at least score six game points to assure themselves for the second spot on the leader board with a better game point score.
Pipers finished with 84 game points against 83 for the Grandmasters in the event, a joint initiative of Tech Mahindra and FIDE.
