To tell the truth I went over to visit the city and hoped for a good result, but apparently studies for the OWC have paid off: better late than never :-)

Before the tourney started on day 2, I asked Martin: "Will you attend more EGP's this year in pursuit of the European Champion title?". Martin answered that he is not aiming for the title, but will play Oslo EGP and hopefully one or two more. "I think Takuji and Imre will be too strong" was his response when I said he was being too modest.

Round 8: 
Takuji beats Patrick, Tom beats Miroslav and Martin wins against Grzegorz.. 

Round 9:
Tom Schotte ended Martin's winning streak! Martin's score now is 8/9. Patrick won against Tomáš Douda and Francesco Marconi won his game against Takuji Kashiwabara.
Martin still leads with 8 points, followed by Francesco with 7 points. Takuji, Patrick, Roel, Miroslav and Tom have 6 points. Two more rounds to go and quite a number of players that still have a chance to make it to the final.

Round 10:
Another Belgian opponent for Martin Odegard, but Dimitri Vaes could not copy Tom's result. Francesco Marconi won his game against Patrick Aubroeck

Round 11:
Martin and Francesco win their game in round 11 and they both qualify for the final. Francesco won 5 out of 7 yesterday and won all 4 games today.

Playoff 3rd / 4th place:
Miroslav Voráček (CZE) 42 - 22 Takuji Kashiwabara (FRA)
