From: "Majewski, Thomas" WABCO-AUTO COM> Date: 7 nov 2001 Subject: 11. German Open Hannover Last weekeend, the 11. German Open Shogi tournament took place in Hannover.= T he traditional blitz tournament with 7 minutes thinking time was held on friday evening with 14 participants. After 7 rounds Thomas Pfaffel, 1. Dan from Graz in Austria emerged as the winner. Saturday mornig saw 19 participants for the Open tournament with 5 players playing for the first time in a shogi tournament. Thinking time was 45 min + 40 sec byoyomi, which produced rounds of 2 hours length. Every participant had at least one successful game and everybody was satisfied. To name a few surprises I would like to name Florencio Coria-Espada from Berlin, who beat Arend van Oosten and Simon Henke, a Xiang-Xi player, who scored three wins in his first tournament. Udo Marks achieved the same result. Thomas Majewski managed to lose a game against Thomas Pfaffel in a mere 12 moves :-(. A detailed comment of this game will propably follow in one of the next Shogi Infos (German Shogi magazine). Pl. Name Str Co.
