Clichy edge Evry

Laurent Fressinet
Three teams have seven wins from seven, with Clichy still ahead on tie-break after their important victory over Evry. At the other end of the Top 12 table, Guingamp and Rueil Malmaison have yet to get off the mark.

In the seventh round, the matches were all quite close. Marseille and Mulhouse won by the closest of margins against strong teams, but the most important victory (by the same 2-1 score) was by leader Clichy over Evry.

Here are the seventh round results:

Team (White on one) Points   Points Team (Black on one)
Metz Fischer 1 - 2 Marseille Echecs
Chalons en Champagne 1 - 2 Mulhouse Philidor
Vandoeuvre 2 - 4 Lutèce Echecs
Strasbourg 3 - 1 Guingamp
Evry Grand Roque 1 - 2 Clichy
Rueil Malmaison 3 - 5 Noyon 

Clichy-la-Garenne are still leaders, but only due to their superior game point difference.
