European Tantrix Championship 2002 - Group C

Group C was won by Jean-Marc Nelken (FRA) who left the two seeded players in his wake, despite starting from a lobby ranking of only 804. His only match defeat came, funnily enough, against the last-placed player, who had been ranked 999 but disappointed in this competition.

No. 7 seed Jérôme Papillon (FRA) and no. 9 seed Yoseph Phillips (ISR) were left to fight it out for the second qualifying place. As you might expect with two players whose Elo ratings differed by only two points, it was close right to the end. Yoseph overtook Jérôme at the last moment by beating him in the final game in the group. For some reason, Jérôme always seems to have trouble in European Championships.
