A lot of hard thinking for Takuji at his EGP. He really needed the 200 points for a win but he finished on a shared 5th place.

A great first day of tournament for Jeroen Everts, he won all 7 games. Jeroen moved from the Netherlands to Sweden a few years ago and recently started to play in tournaments in Sweden. I asked him if he planned to play at the WOC in Cambridge but he did not give me a definite answer.
Tom Schotte had 6 points, ouch, a 62 - 02 loss against Nicky van den Biggelaar. Nicky had 5 points, he lost against Arthur Juigner and Francesco Marconi. All the other 5 pointers: Imre Leader, Arthur Juigner, Oskar Eklund Francesco Marconi, Marcel Peperkamp and Takuji Kashiwabara. Perhaps nobody is interested in my own efforts, but I was very happy to have a win before lunch and then after lunch, I won 3 more. Far more than I had expected.

After his great first day, nobody was surprised that Jeroen Everts made it to the final, but he had 2 losses, against Nicky in round 10 and against Niklas Wettergren in round 11.
It was a close finish with 3 players at 9 points. Too bad for Arthur that he just missed the final. But he played a great tourney and won the the third place after a playoff against Niklas Wettergren. EGP Ghent was agreat event, thanks Tom Schotte and all the enthusiast players for a wonderful Othello weekend! Final: Nicky van den Biggelaar - Jeroen Everts, 2-0 Play-off 3rd / 4th Place: Niklas Wettergren - Arthur Juigner, 0-1 Top 4 EGP Ghent
