Tom Schotte wins Liège Open
Liège, Belgium, February 4th
Tom won 6 games out of 7. The only game he lost was in round 4 against Jan de Graaf. Jan played black and won 38 - 26. Matthias Berg won 5 games. He lost against Tom (see below) and against the other player from Germany, Daniel Rossler.
Unfortunately de Dutch players arrived too late at the tourney and missed the first round. I am sure that had to do with the extreme cold weather and icy roads.
