Report of 2014

Li Chao from China won the tournament in front of Krikor Mekhitarian (Brazil) and Vyacheslav Ikonnikov (Russia)!

A new record: Altogether more than 360 participants were playing in three tournaments for different levels.

Sophia Brunner won the C-tournament in front of Tiziano Wul, Sören Evering, Nenad Jelisavac.

In the B-tournament Dennis Weber took first place in front of Semen Diskin and Vladimir Zotin.

Plenty of space for amateurs and professionals: Also the top gets stronger from year to year. Among the 11 Grandmasters in the A-Open the Chinese star Li Chao aroused the greatest interest of the media - even the local TV was present. With Elo 2680 Li Chao is the current No. 5 in China.

Also two young players achieved remarkable successes: Jesper Thybo from Denmark and Jorden Van Foreest from the Netherlands (both 13 years old) managed to invade the ranks of the GMs and finally took place 7 and 8!

Thybo versus Jahnke

In spite of the hard-fought games it was a very fair and friendly tournament. But the fairness prize should go to Henrik Teske this time: Jesper Thybo had a drawn endgame against the experienced GM, but he wrongly claimed three times repetition. When this was proved to be wrong he resigned - thinking that he had lost because of the wrong claim. But instead of accepting the whole point, Teske preferred to give the draw anyhow!
