The first ranking tournament outside the Belgian borders took place during the 8th edition of the "SpellenSpektakel" in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. In total 16 players signed up for the event, but, due to the resignation of 2 Dutchmen after 2 rounds, only 12 Belgians and 2 remaining "Dutchers" battled to become the KING of Eindhoven. Aksel the Meester, also called the Axe from Ghent, appeared to be the strongest. With 6 wins in a row he clearly overpowered all the others.
