European Tantrix Championship 2003 - Group B

No. 6 seed and 2001 champion Ben Polman (NED) always looked like winning this group once he had got over an early double loss to last year's Group C winner Jean-Marc Nelken (FRA), who despite this win eventually finished down in 6th after an alarming drop down the table in the final week. There was even a Dutch 1-2 at one stage when Petra Wark (NED) joined Ben at the top of the table, though that did not last.

In fact, the surprise package in this group turned out to be Lewis Palmer (GBR), an 8-game unbeaten run early in the final week helping him to grab the second qualifying place ahead of 2002 World QF-ist János Püspöki (HUN), the no. 11 seed. Lewis went through by making no mistakes against the players in the bottom half of the table - he actually lost his mini-matches against all of the other players in the top four. The minor places were very close, with no player in this group winning less than 4 games or losing less than 4 games!
