On Sunday, April 1, the first GIPF ranking tournament
of the year took place. At the same time it also was the first heat
of the GIPF Regularity Contest 2001. In total 18 players showed
up to compete against each other. 5 Dutchmen made the effort to
travel all the way to Antwerp. Good!
The event was full of surprises. Kurt Van den Branden -- who must
already have collected about a dozen second places (and, as such,
is the most regular Gipfer) -- finally got what he was desperately
looking for: a fist place. He scored 5 wins in a row. Big relieve;
the poor man had started to think that he was never going to get
away from that second place. The performances of André De Laet and
Johan Delvaux were also quite unexpected. They shared the second
place with 4 wins each and left a number of considerably higher
ranked players behind them. A third (and very pleasant) surprise
was that the Dutchmen appeared to be quite strong players. Especially
Jan Willem Knopper did extremely well with 3 wins. With a bit more
experience the Dutch EGO-men will be hurting the Belgian top players
in the near future.
