PRO Chess League Championship Predictions

The Championship is finally here. I will do a prediction of which team will win the $20,000 first prize and which team will not.

St. Louis Arch Bishops (Atlantic) vs. Baden-Baden Snowballs (Central)

This unlikely but intriguing final will most likely be just as close as the previous matches in San Francisco. Fabiano Caruana (4/4) and Benjamin Bok (3/4) really led their team to victory in the first match, so they will need to keep up the good work if Saint Louis is going to take the win. Bok was lucky in some of his games, but it's better to be lucky than good. Donchenko (3.5/4) was the hero for Baden-Baden yesterday, so the youngster will need to perform today as well. Will experience succeed?

Prediction: St. Louis Arch Bishops 8.5-7.5 Baden-Baden Snowballs
