UK Beat Switzerland
In the sixth match of the 2025–2026 B-League season the UK team played Switzerland winning 4-0. Congratulations to Michael Cheung, Bruno Poltronieri, Jake Game and Ryan Zhang. This made the team third after leaders Croatia had their first five match wins voided after a player used AI. Netherlands now lead the table, ahead of Sweden, with what is probably an unassailable lead. Next match is 14th April against fourth-placed Ireland.

Bruno Poltronieri wrote: On Sunday I won my game against the Swiss captain Fabien Lips by resignation. The opening was fine but I got cut in the first fight for very little compensation. Thankfully my opponent's subsequent attack wasn't severe enough and the game became even again. Then, as I was putting a bit of pressure on my opponent's group, he started an unreasonable fight and did not back down until things fell apart, at which point he resigned.

Ryan Zhang won by resignation against Flavien Aubelle. Ryan made a nice sacrifice on the right side to build a massive moyo. It was probably relatively even still but then his opponent played a sequence where he died and revived Ryan's sacrifice. After that it was hopeless and Ryan didn't give his opponent any chances.
