What was special with it? It was the first Handicap tournament in Europe which counts for rating calculations! We had 10 particpants and played 5 rounds with 30min+30sec. byoyomi. The first 3 edition of our handicap tournaments were always won by the same player, Andreas Neumaier. This time we had a new winner, Rainer Staberhofer, who scored 4 points, same number of wins reached Thomas Pfaffel. Though partially high handicaps 64% of the games were won by handicap givers. 4.
