Deutsche Power!
Thanks to Tracy Gardner - from the US! - we had 4 nationalities
taking part at this first official DVONN WC. In total 21 players
signed in and - quite remarkable - this time the largest group did
not come from Belgium. Both the Netherlands and Germany were represented
by 7 players, which was 1 more than the Belgians.
It was clear - even before the first round had started - that the
Germans had the strongest delegation. Most of them play often in
Brettspielwelt
(BSW) and are amongst the top ranked players. For example: SebastianTrunz,
alias Lammkeule, was present and for the time being he - still the
one and only DVONN Dragon in BSW - must be considered the strongest
Dvonner in the universe. One Dutchman was maybe going to be able
to break the German hegemony though: Xander Nijhuis is also *absolute
Spitze* and was one of the favourites for the title. To a lesser
extend, also Jeroen Weyn from Belgium had the potential to give
the strongest players a hard time. Unfortunately - or fortunately
for the Germans - neither Jeroen nor Xander really got into their
best form. They shared the 6th place with 4 wins out of 7 games
played. 5 players ended with more points - 5 players from Germany.
Bernd Radmacher, Michael Reitz and Andrea Timm scored 5 points each.
Bernd had a slightly higher MB-score, and that was sufficient to
snatch the bronze medal. SebastianTrunz won 6 of his matches and
got silver. Tobias had beaten Sebastian in the 5th round - in what
should be considered the final - and succeeded in holding onto his
unbeaten status. He became the first DVONN World Champion with a
series of 7 straight wins!
