Round 5 51st Programmer Tournament
The pairing:
| Embla | – | Nemeton | 0-1 |
| The King | – | Arminius | 0-1 |
| Spartacus | – | Komodo | 0-1 |
| The Baron | – | Hiarcs | ½-½ |
This round is started on Sunday 30 April 2017 at approx. 11:45. Harm Geert is remarking “Komodo, sigh….” when the pairing is announced. Hiarcs and The Baron are discussing the drawish line of the book opening. But it is a short book line that is used by The Baron. Nementon wins although Embla tries to confuse its opponent by promoting to a knight. In the end The Baron draws against Hiarcs, although at one time the move played was confusing to the players, thinking that it was a losing move for white.
We have a visitor: Gert Isenberg. As came from Germany on his electric bike, he’s entertaining the people with his stories of his trip from home to Leiden.
