Socar Azerbaijan wins European Chess Club Cup

Azerbaijan`s chess club Socar Azerbaijan have become champions of the European Club Cup in Eilat, Israel, after defeating Russian Tomsk-400 5-1 in the last round.

Both SOCAR and St. Petersburg scored 12/14 match point, but the Azeri team`s tiebreak was just a little better: 673.8 to 665.5, and they won the direct meeting with St. Petersburg so their victory seems justified.

SHSM-64 took advantage of the losses of Tomsk and Ashdod to capture the bronze medals after a 4.5-1.5 against the Spanish team Gros Xake Taldea. Economist, Ugra, Ashdod and Tomsk took places 4 to 7 with 10 match points each.
