Champion
Typo (GBR)
Neil Jenner ITM |
The European Tantrix Championship ("the Euro"), played online, was open to all Tantrix players living in or coming from Europe, subject to the usual nationality rules that appear in the Notes for Entrants below.
Over 100 entrants from 18 countries took part this year and the eventual winner was 2004's runner-up and 2005's World Champion Neil Jenner ITM (Typo) (GBR) - he is the 3rd British European Champion and only the second player ever to have won both the Euro and the WTC in the history of tournaments. As it usually happens in a Euro, he did not win his group, but never looked back once into the KO stage.
The runner-up was Michael Collison (colly89) (GBR), who besides his début as a successful AC, put in a very solid performance to go all the way, through some tight matches, and is only the second player to have reached the Final from a Euro phase 1.
The bronze match saw double European Champion Tamás Gombkötő TGM* (tommG) (HUN) win a tiebreak game over Marek Reniers TTM (1kornik21) (POL). They both dominated their phase 2 groups followed by a march into the semi-finals.
Thanks for taking part, everyone, see you next year!
