took the 3rd place!

SAX-ΑΝΕΚ LINES
achieved its target and stayed in the Greek Chess
League for a second contiguous year, determining
that deserves a position among the best teams in
Greece. The fact also that the team consists mainly
of local and young players (12 of 14 players derive
from the city of Chania, specifically from team's
educational programmes, and certainly we are talking
about the team with the lower average age in Greece)
adds significant value to this achievement. The
local players are encircled with two great chess
players and important personalities, Trabert Bettina
(WGM) from Germany and Izoria Zviad (GM) from Georgia,
who complement the team with experience and determination
in the difficult matches.
The team endeavoured in the second group and collected
8 points, achieving three wins against ΑΟ Sykeon,
Papagou and Triandria, two draws against DEH Salonica
and Peristeri, and one defeat against OFS Kavala.
Special distinction achieved junior wold chess champion
Kazakos Manos, who collected 4½ points in five games,
winning for a second contiguous year the gold medal
in the U12 board! Great appearance also for Katzourakis
Pavlos, who made his 1st National Master norm, gathering
6 points in eight matches. |

For AO Kydon the target
was quite different. The team acquired Hristos Banikas,
2005 Greek Individual Champion, and was claiming for
the first place. But while Kydon was the main contender
for the championship, the bad results (6-6 draw against
AO Papagou, defeat against E.S. Salonica and draw again
against OAA Iraklion) put the team early out of competition.
In the last round AO Kydon won the champion team S.O.
Kavala but nothing could change the final classification,
giving the Cretan team the third place. Special distinction
achieved Markantonaki Haritomeni who collected 9 points
in 9 matches!
The players who consisted AO Kydon were:
Azmaiparasvili Zurab, Papaioannou Giannis, Banikas
Hristos, Grivas Stratos, Nikolaidis Giannis, Souleidis
Giorgos, Makka Ioulia, Markantonaki Haritomeni, Saulyte
Gabriele, Sandalakis Aggelos, Stavrianakis Giannis,
Tsialas Panagiotis, Sekadakis Dimitris, Balomenakis
Haralampos, and Fragaki Maria. It is obvious from the
composition of the team that clubs that want to win
the championship must proceed in a significant number
of transfers, as only 6 of the total players of AO Kydon
are coming from the city of Chania.
OAA Iraklion -the third Cretan team-
made an excellent appearance and took
the 5th place in the final rank, giving
more promises for the future. The club also had undertaken
the organization of the League and made a wonderful
job, as everyone admitted. Special distinction achieved
Georgiadid Giannis who collected 6½ points in 8 matches,
the second best performance in his board.
The players who consisted OAA Iraklion were:
Gustafsson Jan, Mihelakis Giorgos, Dembo Yelena, Mastrokoukos
Giorgos, Logothetis Sotiris, Papadopoulou Vera, Goutioudi
Irini, Iordanidou Zoi, Manolaraki Ivonni, Georgiadis
Giannis, Papandreou Giorgos, Fragiadakis Dimitris, Kolomvakis
Stelios.
