5th to 7th of February, in Munich, Mülheim, Berlin and Remagen
The 8th and 9th round of the Schachbundesliga and three matches from round 7 will take place from the 5th to the 7th of February 2010. The following article provides you with the pairings at the playing venues Munich, Mülheim, Berlin and Remagen.
OSG Baden-Baden is the only team of the Schachbundesliga left without any loss of points. The following weekend the German champion will face the two teams of Berlin and is odds-on favourite. Under the same precondition starts the only serious competitor for the title Werder Bremen. Bremen is facing the teams of München and Erfurt. Both of them are relegation battler. Some interesting derbys are taking place in Mülheim, where the host is facing Katernberg and Wattenscheid for the “hegemony in the West”.
All lineups of the teams in Berlin, e.g. OSG Baden-Baden, are published two days in advance. This is carried out due to the new rule, which was implemented from the beginning of this season.
