The first chukker went to the home team 2–0. At the end of the third chukker MPC had come back to tie the match at 4–4. The final chukker was high scoring with each team putting two goals through leaving the final score at 6–6. The event was rated at 8–12 goals handicap.

  30th of May, 2009, Ivan the Terrible Polo Challenge in 2009
 

A second consecutive victory for the Moscow Polo Club 6–5 on the Queens ground! Alejandro Traverso, Adolfo Casabal, David Geovanis and Misha Rodzianko won a hard fought victory in the closing seconds on a goal by Alejandro Traverso just before the final bell. Misha Rodzianko was awarded best player as he outdueled the opposing team’s 1 goaler Guy Schwartzenbach. 

There was no doubt the Guards Polo Club side came to play as they quickly took the lead, but by the end of the second chukker the battle was back on even terms and from there until the final bell, the outcome was never clear. 

The weather was glorious and the dinner at the new clubhouse delicious. Russia’s ambassador Yuri Fedotov and Princess Olga Romanova again presented the prizes to the participants. Colonel Paul Belcher Chairman of the Guards Polo Club reminded us at dinner that we had a long way yet to go from 10 goals to the top level of polo, but cheered us with the news that the dinner following our polo challenge was the first really large event in the new clubhouse. The new clubhouse is indeed excellent in its taste and execution.

Notably at the end of the match our team had the three most valuable players from the three most recent years of Ivan the Terrible competition: Misha Rodzianko 2009, Alejandro Traverso 2008, and Adolfo Casabal (2007 for Guards).

  30th of May, Ivan the Terrible Polo Challenge
  On May 31st a team representing Russia from the Moscow Polo Club played and surprised the hosts by winning 8–4 against a team representing England from the Guards polo club. The event was the Ivan the Terrible Polo Challenge. This was the first Victory for Russia in four tries. The team was led by Hernan (4) and Alejandro (5) Traverso and featured MPC players Misha (1)Rodzianko, David Geovanis (1) and Alexis Rodzianko (1). The game was on the Queens ground in front of 400 guests. The team was presented the Ivan the Terrible Trophy by Princess Olga Andreevna Romanova and H. E.

Hernan Traverso was the leading scorer for both teams with 5 goals on the day. Misha Rodzianko and David Geovanis each scored one for the MPC. The Guards team was led by Henry Brett (6) with excellent support from Jakob Lindquist (1). Our success was in large part due to Hernan Traverso’s week of work collecting the best possible string of ponies for our team — they were excellent and made the difference. Should we have the opportunity to return next year, we will certainly face a much more determined English side thirsting for revenge.
