Men's Bundesliga

     I am very fond of "Bundesliga". As you probably already know, I play in the German Women's Club Chess Championship and I enjoy the atmosphere and the process itself. This event has a counterpart in the men's section. I think that the German Men's "Bundesliga" is one of the strongest National Club Chess Championships in the World. This implies many interesting matches and games to follow.
     The Baden-Baden club is leading so far. They won all the matches, as you can see below:
