"DUP" strikes again
The first thing to be said about the second
heat of the GIPF Regularity Contest 2001 is that is well perfectly
organized. In the morning the first ZERTZ ranking tournament ever
took place, which made the GIPF tournament in the afternoon an event
for "long distance players". Everybody who knows Werner Dupont,
has no other choice than to conclude that he is such a player. He
scored 5 wins in a row and became the winner. Very convincing play,
although he crawled through the eye of the needle in his match against
An Baelemans. He had virtually won the game (An had only one piece
to play with and no opportunity to recycle pieces) but his flag
fell. Werner, having misunderstood "the last move rule" thought
to have won the game, but that rule doesn't mean that you get "one
more move" after you ran out of time; it says that you "may finish
the move you are making when you flag falls". Anyway, An didn't
notice that Werner's flag had fallen; she played her last piece,
hit the clock and, by doing so, put Werner back in turn. That meant
that Werner, according to the rule that neither the arbiter not
the public may interfere with a running game, was given the right
to make another move, including the right to finish that move according
to the last minute rule - and, unfortunately for An, that was the
one move Werner needed to win the game. So, afterwards there was
a discussion about this issue, but An solved the problem: she agreed
with Werner's win "in the spirit of the game". (Thank you, An!)
Three players shared the second place with 4 wins: Jix Demerco,
Patrick "Maîrte" Van de Perre and the amazingly strong newcomer
Jan Roelens.
(A detailed explanation of the "last move rule" will be published
on this site in the near future. For the time being you can read
about it on the FAQ-page, point 11.
