Organized by the Antwerp GIPF Centre, during "Games Spectacular"
Date: Friday, October 31
Place: Eindhoven
Format: Round Robin, 15 min. player/game, 48 rings
Participants: 8
Kurt again at his best at the right moment
Only 8 participants for this ZÈRTZ WC, but Friday, October
31, appeared to be a normal working day instead of a holiday - as
we wrongly thought! - and that made that a number of the regular
ZÈRTZ-enthusiastics were not able to be present.
Any way, the participants enjoyed their Round
Robin confrontation and that is what matters most! Werner Dupont
won against Kurt Van den Branden, but got beaten himself by 2 Dutchman:
Fred Kok and the surprisingly strong Arnoud Duyvesteyn. Michael
Reitz, the favourite, faced defeats against Kurt and Werner. Kurt
became World Champion with 6 wins. Werner and Michael ended both
with 5 wins but Werner had won his match against Michael, so he
got the silver and Michael the bronze. Also Arnoud performed very
strong, but came just a bit short for a medal.
Conclusion: fine tournament, good atmosphere, good play and good
players!
