Champion Zormac (HUN) Zoltán Németh ITM* |
The European Tantrix Championship ("the Euro"), played online, is 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 17 countries took part and the eventual winner was 2005's winner Zoltán Németh ITM* (Zormac) (HUN), surviving a lacklustre group phase, a series of narrow KO wins and a double tiebreak in the Final, finishing the tournament with a win/draw/loss stat of 22/4/21 which is highly unusual for an eventual winner.
The runner-up was Marek Reniers ITM* (1kornik21) (POL), who dominated the tournament all the way until the last few games of the Final, resulting in a strong TGM norm. Following up on last year's 4th place, Marek now managed to add a medal to his collection and only needs one more step to take the title next time.
The bronze match saw triple and reigning Hungarian Champion László Szobonya ITM* (Sirpi) (HUN) narrowly beating reigning World Champion Attila Mikulán ITM* (blick) (HUN).
Thanks for taking part, everyone, see you next year!
