Subject: First ever Galactic Chu Shogi Lightning Championships

This evening, for the first time in the history of this
galaxy, the Galactic Chu Shogi Lightning championships were held.

(20 minutes, yes, only 20 #*$§*#&$ (censored) minutes! for
each game)

The results in summary were:

 Galactic Gold Medal: Colin - I've never been beaten in the
history of this universe
                              (except when the light was
bad) -  Adams
 Solar System Silver Medal: Edi - what's a Free King between
friends - Werner

 Brilliant Bronze Medal: Thomas - Oh well, who needs Lions - Majewski

 The Peter Banaschak award for exceptional merit: Peter
Banaschak (for finishing fourth)

Other contestants did not play well enough to get a mention.
In particular, Jochen Drechsler gets a Black Mark (!) for
forgetting to bring the electronic clocks belonging to Shogi Deutschland.
