ResultsBelgian Championship Preliminaries 2012Up to twenty players took part to the Belgian Championship last week. It's always an interesting tournament, with ghost players emerging from the shadows, and surprises in the results even in games played with a large gap of level. Results are online, congratulations to all! Finals will take place on 3rd, 4th, 17th and 18th March 2012, and we'll try to find a quiet place to guarantee seriouse games.
Interclubs 2011 resultsDear Belgian Go-players, The 2011 interclub season has come to an end with an exciting final round. Antwerpen picked up the pace in the second half, but could not help getting third place with 4 point. Leuven got 6 points, and Gent has 8, and takes the interclub cup from Leuven. Congratulations to all three teams ! This was the first time double rounds were played, due to the "record" number of teams participating. As organiser, my impression is that with three or four teams participating, playing double rounds is feasible if the captains are motivated. A little bit of prompting from the organiser seems to be enough to get all rounds to be played within a good time frame. I would like to thank Philip Vlummens, Kris Boyen and Marcel Van Herck for speedy and correct transmission of results. I hope to see a lot of teams in the 2012 interclub tournament ! Cheers,
2nd Pandanet European Team Championship Round 3 Finland - BelgiumThis round against Finland was a big challenge, since their team had been undefeated till now. However, we managed to achieve an impressive win on board 4, congratulations!
Results of the 26th Brussels Tournament
The 26th Brussels Tournament took place on Oct. 29th and 30th in Palais du Midi, Brussels. The Belgian Go Federation organized it and 77 participants took part. There were players from all around Europe, and even further: Belgium of course, but also Hungary, Germany, France, Great-Britain, Turkey, Finland, Slovakia, Poland, but also Brazil, China and Korea! It was an Ecup tournament level 4, in five rounds MacMahon. The last round was very exciting because six top players (Csaba Mero, Chen Lei, Vincent van Gelderen, François Gonze, Simon Billouet and Kang Kyoungnang) had already three wins and one loss; note the achievement of François, Belgian 4d, who managed to beat two 6d. Finally, after a very long and breath-taking game between Kang and Csaba, that was observed passionately by dozens of players in live but also about 150 players on KGS, Csaba managed a win by 3,5 and took the first place. It was a great tournament and we hope to have even more players next year. Congratulations to all! Links:
6th KPMC Final in KoreaLucas Neirynck represented Belgium at the 6th KPMC in Korea. He did a great result: he won against Uffe HOLMSGAARD RASMUSSEN (Denmark), Rory WALES (Ireland) and Ron Lavi (Israel), and lost against Satoshi HIRAOKA (Japan), Gabriel Benmergui (Argentina) and King Yau Anson NG (Hong Kong). He is the 24th player out of 70, which is a nice achievement regarding the rude competition.
Youth and Student Championship ResultsOnly four participants took part to this year Youth and Student Championship. It was argued that the age limit should have been at 29 instead of 20, because there is a European Student Championship where students can take part until 29. Next year we will take it into account. Given the small number of participants, we decided to make it a round-robin championship (meaning everyone plays against each other once).
It comes out that Ly Duc Khang is our Student Champion and Adrian Dzienisiuk is our Youth Champion.
2nd Pandanet European Team Championship Round 1 Belgium - UKIt was our first round for this new season, and we fought proudly, though the opponent was much stronger on paper. Congratulation to the team! Find the games on the website.
Ghent Go TournamentThe Ghent tournament is finished. We had a nice group of about 23 players. There were only 2 dan-level players, but we did have a very nice and consistent group of players between 10 and 15 kyu, making it a very rewarding tournament for beginning players. The tournament was -of course- free, but the players were very generous in their donations, so we had nice prizes for the winner Kwinten Missiaen and numbers 2 and 3, Bram Vandenbon and Dominique Versyck respectively.
Belgian Rengo ChampionshipThe Belgian Rengo Championship took place last week in Brussels. There were 10 players (5 pairs). The first round end up with the outstanding victory of the 4k&11k pair against the 2d² pair. The final winners:
