European Tantrix Championship 2002 - Group E

Group E went exactly according to the seeding groups, except that John Cooper (GER) came out of the pack to finish 1st from a lobby ranking of 859. No. 4 seed Steven Trezise (GBR) joined him in the last 16, though it was touch and go until the final match. The group was notable for wide swings in position, with three or four players very close to 50% all the way through.

The top two both ended up with eight game wins (Steven had one draw too, but John's bigger winning margins meant he ended up ahead) but took very different routes to qualifying. Steven slipped up a bit against the weaker players but beat those in 1st and 3rd whereas John made no mistake against the weaker players, scoring very heavily indeed against them.

Raymond Hemmecke (GER), Rick Yagodich (GBR) and last year's Euro runner-up Philippe Durand (FRA) were covered by less than 2 TPs in 3rd-5th. Paul Farley (GBR) was a tougher opponent than his final score suggests too. Even Holger Gräfe (GER), who had never played online before and took some bold risks, was top of the group after two wins and a draw in his first three games. However, his good fortune did not hold and he only drew one game of his last eight, but the order of the top three was pretty much decided by their matches against him.
