European Grand Prix 2014 - Stockholm
winner: Matthias Berg


European Grand Prix stage 6 in Stockholm

The Swedish EGP will be held August 2 - 3 in Stockholm,  in the wonderful Gamla Stan district where the best players from all over the world gathered last October for the World Othello Championship.

Nicky van den Biggelaar (NLD) is in the lead of the EGP 2014  after 5 stages but his name is not on the list of players, neither is the name of #2 Marc Tastet. It will be another tough battle for the win between Imre leader, Takuji Kashiwabara and Francesco Marconi. But the 200 points for the winner may very well go to someone unexpected. Maybe a first EGP win for Arthur Juigner? Read more this weekend here on the Othello News EGP Stockholm page.

Tourney Director Benkt Steentoft was aiming for 50 players and although he did not reach   that goal, the Swedish Federation did a great job and managed to attract 40 players. In comparison: Cambridge had 27 players, Rome 31, Copenhagen 12, Moscow 20 and Den Hoorn 12. It will be hard for the next EGP-stop in Krakow to beat the Stockholm record. 

A very good result for Matthias Berg (DEU) at the end of day 1, he won all his games and now leads with 7 points. Arthur Juigner (FRA) and Daniel Turunen (SWE) both have 6 points. Five points for Imre Leader (GBR), Takuji Kashiwabara (FRA), Roel Hobo (NLD), Marcus Fronmark (SWE) and Tom Schotte (BEL). Francesco Marconi scored 4 points and will have to have better a second day to finish in the top 4. 

Best ladies at the end of day one are former Ladies World Champions Jiska Helmes (NLD) and Veronica Stenberg (SWE), they both have 4 points. 

Arthur's younger brother Félix Juigner impressed with 4 wins, bravo!

Thanks to Henry Aspenryd who broadcasted his games on LiveOthello, we got to see some games. I am a big fan of Henry and want to thank him for enabling me to show you his EGP games, but I think it is a pitty that we don't get to watch other games as well. Maybe tomorrow?

EGP Stockholm update after round 9: 
Matthias Berg and Arthur Juigner - 8 points
Imre Leader and Takuji Kashiwabara - 7 points
Daniel Turunen, Roel Hobo, Tom Schotte and Veronica Stenberg - 6 points

EGP Stockholm update after round 10: 
Matthias Berg and Arthur Juigner - 9 points
Takuji Kashiwabara - 8 points
Imre Leader and Daniel Turunen - 7 points

EGP Stockholm update after round 11: 
Arthur Juigner - 10 points
Matthias Berg - 9 points
Imre Leader, Takuji Kashiwabara and Daniel Turunen - 8 points

A fine tourney for the Swedes as they have 5 players in the top 10. A bit of bad luck for Daniel Turunen (SWE) who almost reached a top 4 position but the playoff for 3rd and 4th place was between Imre Leader (GBR) and Takuji Kashiwabara. Takuji  won the playoff 33 - 31.

Both finalists have played a very strong tourney, Arthur Juigner lost only 1 game to Matthias Berg in the qualifying rounds on the first day and won all four games on the second day. Matthias had a perfect first day of tournament but lost two games on the second day, to Takuji Kashiwabara and to Marcus Frönmark in the last round.

It took the two finalists Arthur Juigner FRA) and Matthias Berg (DEU) three games to decide the winner. It was a great achievement for Arthur to be the best player after 11 rounds, I am sure his first EGP victory is not far off. 

Best ladies at the end of day one were former Ladies World Champions Jiska Helmes (NLD) and Veronica Stenberg (SWE), they both had 4 points. Neither of them managed to shake off the competition and they both finished with 6 points. Disc-count was in favour of Jiska Helmes.

note: only 39 players on day 2, Oscar Eriksson only played on the first day.

European Grand Prix 2014 6 Stages: players with more than 1 point
EGP 2014 Ranking after stage 6

Tom Schotte does a great job keeping the score of the European Grand Prix. Thanks to him we can show you the latest ranking, right after the tourney.

Still in the lead, Nicky van den Biggelaar (NLD), even though he did not play in Stockholm. Lucky for him, none of his immediate opponents made it to the finals. 

Takuji Kashiwabara (FRA) changed places with Marc Tastet (FRA) and moved up from 3rd to 2nd place. 

Imre Leader (GBR) changed places with Francesco Marconi (ITA). 

Matthias Berg (DEU) won 200 points and moved up from 13th to 6th place. 

Arthur Juigner (FRA) had 90 points for his 3rd place at the EGP in Rome. He added 140 points to his total score and moved up from 10th to 7th place.

Who will win the EGP 2014? We will know after the next and final stop in Krakow.
