Final moments

With 25.5 points to zero, we were still on pins and needles - Neuqua Valley is taking us to the wall, threatening on boards 1, 2, 3, and 6.

Christian is doomed.  

Edmond clinches it!

Northside wins 6 games for the first time in school history!!

Alex pulled out his game.

Liang isin severe time trouble, but the game is completely balanced.  Nursing mere seconds against his opponent's 14 minutes, he stays in the game.
His opponent goes down to 42 seconds.
Liang is at 7 seconds.
Neuqua makes an illegal move!
Liang gets 2 minutes added to his clock.
2 pawns each, Liang's knight vs opponent's bishop.
Enough time to think, to maneuver accurately.
With less than 20 seconds each, Liang offers a draw.
Declined.
Liang sacrifices knight for pawn.
Trade pawns.
No pawns.
King and bishop cannot mate.
Draw.

Final score 48.5 - 19.5
It doesn't look as close as it was.  Then again, when our players close it out, that is the way the team scores points.
