Champion's Report PRE-TOURNAMENT As the crow flies, it’s only 700 km from Kórnik to Trosa. You can choose two ways to get there. The first is by ferry and is more comfortable, but it takes longer. The second option is to drive through Denmark, it’s faster but you have to drive more than 1.600 km. I chose the ferry and set off on Thursday afternoon. I caught the ferry in the nick of time, I was very lucky ;-)SATURDAY The first games are usually very stressful; my first game was with Monika. I won by 4 tiles but I got 3 time penalties. In the 4th round I played with Rob. I had never won a table game against him before. I see red when I can't play green and Rob had a game pack with no green tiles ;-( Anyway our game was very good, and I was very happy after the last move.SUNDAY On Sunday we played only 6 rounds, cause Vincent had to cach a 4pm bus and I had to be in Nynäshamn about 5pm. (It’s 90 km’s from Trosa). My ferry wouldn’t wait for me. I started the games with a dramatic draw with Niklas, with only a few seconds left on my clock. Later, luck again was on my side in games with Ben and Carl. Next came my second loss, to Igor, but the most important games were still ahead.FINALLY Many thanks to organisers and all players, I was proud to play with all of you. |
