Draws in derbies, three teams at the top of the table

In the Premier Chess League of Montenegro, after the fifth round, there are no more teams with maximum performance, and the standings have remained unchanged.

The round derbies between Elektroprivreda and Herceg Novi, and Buducnost and Crnogorac ended with a score of 3:3.

The match between Buducnost and Crnogorec saw a great fight, and all six duels ended in draws, so after four initial victories, these teams also recorded their first draws.

In the duel between Elektroprivreda and Herceg Novi, four games were decided, and the victories for Elektroprivreda were achieved by grandmasters Pranav Vankataneš and Luka Drašković, who defeated Dimitris Aleksakis and Nebojša Nikčević.

Miodrag Savić and Nebojša Nikolić shone in the ranks of Novi Sad, outplaying Denis Kadrić and Boban Bogosavljević, respectively.

Mimoza returned to winning ways with a 5:1 victory against Mladost.

Important and first victories in the fight for survival were achieved by the Zeta and Dame teams.

Zeta, led by Nenad Karišik and Atakan Mert Bicer, defeated Omladinac Budućnost, whose only player was Đorđe Žižić.

Teodora Injac, Nikola Radovanović and Stefan Mandić brought the victory of Dama against Nikšić 4,5:1,5.

The top position in the table after the fifth round is shared by Elektroprivreda, Crnogorac and Budućnost with 13 points each, Mimoza won 12, while Herceg Novi is fifth with seven points.

In the First League, Zora and Rumija have maximum impact.

Zora and Rumija defeated Plavsko Jezero and Cetinje with 4:2 each.

Vjekoslav Vulević and Milojko Kandić were in high spirits for Zora, while Goran Todorović, Nikola Vraneš and Nenad Aleksić secured Rumija's victory, while Vladimir Perović recorded the victory for Cetinje.

Rudar defeated Gambit from Berane 5:1, Prosvjeta beat Dijagonale 3,5-2,5, while Rokada beat Mornar by the same score.

Ahead of the final round of the Second League, Berane is one step away from promotion to a higher league.

In order to quickly return to the higher ranks of the competition in the last round, a draw in the duel with Brskov will be enough for the Berane chess players.

The other team to the First League will be Danilovgrad Talj or Kotor, and it seems that the greater number of points in the last round will decide, and before that they are equal.
