From: Carl Johan Nilsson bredband net> Date: 23 nov 2003 Subject: Report Goteborg Open Dear Shogi players, This weekend Goteborg Open was played in Goteborgs Schackcentrum. Twelve players from four different shogi clubs participated. Robert Söderberg, Niklas Alexanderson, Daniel Wredenberg all made interesting starts after having attended a two days training camp arranged by Martin Danerud. During the tournament it was shown that the training camp must have been very successful. Robert Söderberg had added a new powerful weapon to combine with his wellknown attacking strength and fighting spirit namely good shape. This new combination surprised all opponents resulting in an impressive 5 points out of 6. This was rewarded with not less than 2 nice cups made of finest tin. One for his second place and one for beeing the best player with grade 1-5 kyu. Niklas Alexandersson must be the fastest developing player in Sweden for the moment. During the EC in the summer he managed to win against former European Champion Frederic Pottier in his 6th rated game ever. Is this a record in quick development? Rated as number five in this tournament he still managed to end up in third place. In addition for the cup for the third place he aslo won an extra cup for being the best player with grade 6-10 kyu. Daniel Wredenberg also made a very fine tournamet. Despite beeing rated as number nine in the tournament he managed to score four nice wins. Since he was the only player with grade 11 kyu or below who managed to do that he was given the last cup. I hope you all had a good time in Goteborg and that we will see each other next year as well!
