The Israeli U18 Team Championship opens Round 6 tomorrow in Hod Hasharon with several squads still fighting for the title. Teams have burned through five rounds of Swiss action, and the pace quickens here. The 50-minute time control with ten-second increments keeps matches sharp but playable, letting young talent show their preparation. One round remains after this one, so every point counts hard. The tournament tests both individual skill and team chemistry among Israel's best junior prospects.
