From: Fabien Osmont SYSTOR COM> Date: 22 sep 2002 Subject: Colmar Tournamet ed. 2002 : the results Dear all, This year, we were very pleased to organise the tournament for 12 players. Most of them were from Germany, some have made a quite long travel to come. We hope that the next years will also see people from other countries. (If Sweden seems to be not so far for the next ESC, why not hoping meeting swedish players at our own tournament ? ;-) ) Moreover, as there were "low kyu", "high kyu" and dan players, we think (and hope !) that the tournament was enough interesting for everybody. During this tournament, we were also very happy to meet two new incomers, Sylvain Ferrieres (from Paris) and Wolfgang Erben (from Stuttgart). Last year, we had the surprise to see a such "newbie" reaching a quite good place - it was the now well-known Karl Wartlick. This year, I think that we had the chance to meet another such phenomenon, from Stuttgart too : Wolfgang Erben. It's his first tournament and he had already reach the 6th place with 3 wins ! Unfortunately, Fukumura san couldn't take part this year too for professional reasons. As a consequence, Uemura san had no problem to confirm his level in winning this tournament. Let's hope that, next year, the result will be more difficult to guess ! ; -) Now, the results : [International Tournament of Alsace, COLMAR] [2002-09-21] 1.
