Tuesday marked the conclusion of Round 5 of the Pandanet Team Championship , with our team facing the United Kingdom in a pivotal matchup.

The lineup featured Lucas, Lucman, Jan, and Renaud, and the match unfolded across two days. Three boards were contested on Sunday 01/02, where the United Kingdom built early momentum. Lucas and Jan were unable to convert their games, putting the team under pressure heading into the remaining board.

Renaud delivered the standout performance of the round, securing a crucial victory on board four, but it wasn’t enough to turn the tide. The United Kingdom closed out the match with a 3–1 victory, as Lucman was unable to find the breakthrough needed to shift the overall result.

Looking ahead, the team turns its attention to the next round against South Africa . Both teams currently sit around the bottom of the league standings with identical point totals, making the upcoming matchup—scheduled for Tuesday, 23 February (or the week before) , or possibly the week prior—a critical opportunity to gain ground.
