The semi-final matches of the Georgian Championship in Pool (14+1), which is being held in Batumi, have begun. Unfortunately, Ajarian national team member Lasha Modebadze lost in a tense duel to the leader of the Georgian pool, Nodar Bakradze, otherwise one of the semi-finals would have been in Batumi. Nodar Bakradze (Tbilisi)-Ruslan Tebidze (Batumi) and Davit Avakiani (Tbilisi)-Emil Topchiev (Tbilisi) are competing in the semi-finals.
