Incredible as it may seem for a chess player of my modest level, my team won for the second time in three years the Catalan National league Championship - Second category - in Catalonia, Spain.
To do this we had to compete in a block of a hundred teams of eight players each, divided into 10 groups. First we came top in our group, and then, came through the various play-offs winning the finals 5-3.
Not bad for a team with three 60+ players, four 50-60 players, and only one player under 30!
Here's a photo of our team, taken just after the final game.
You can read the whole story by selecting and pasting the following link . It's in Catalan, I'm afraid, but I'm sure you can get Google to give you a reasonably accurate translation.
