After two wins and three losses, in the sixth round, the Montenegrin national team played 2:2 with Lithuania.
Coach Radenko Lacmanović's team had the start of the match that one could wish for.
International master Predrag Nikač, after only 19 moves, celebrated in a furious attack, in his favorite Dutch defense, against Gintaras Grybas.
Vjekoslav Vulević drew with Anatolijus Novikovas in a complicated position.
The remaining duels are on the third and fourth boards, and Radovan Damjanović recorded his fifth draw in a duel with Sigitas Berginas in a distant cannon ending.
The point for Lithuania was brought by Gediminas Ratkauskas, who defeated Milan Ivanovic.
The Lithuanian chess player sacrificed a piece, and Ivanovic found good defensive resources.
At a moment when it seemed he was on the verge of victory, he overlooked a checkmate move and allowed the Lithuanians to draw.
