Werner Dupont back in shape!
Hmmm, strange start: all of the favourits -
ahum, but *Jix* - lost a game in an early stage. Only 2 players
remained unbeaten after 3 rounds: Jix and Nico Habraken. Jix won
against Nico in the 4th round, which meant that he was the only
one left with 4 points. But then he met Werner Dupont. Werner had
done not too well the last tournaments. This time he had lost against
André De Leat in the 2nd round, but striked back with wins
against Christof Nuyttens and Jeroen Weyn. Next he left Jix no chance
and he ended by beating Patrick Van de Perre. Jix ended with a win
against Kurt Van den Branden. That made that Werner and Jix gathered
both 5 wins, but since Werner had beaten Jix in the 5th round, it
was only logic that he got the title. Jix's second place was less
logic, because Kurt should never have lost his match in the 6th
round against him. Jix was in a completely lost situation; Kurt
had still over 10 minutes on his clock and was leading by 5 pieces,
yet for some (still unknown) reason he did not succeed in finishing
the game; again and again he left Jix a way to get pieces back into
his reserve - and then, suddenly, Kurt's flag fell! Very strange,
because Kurt is one of the most experienced players. And since it
was the very last game of the last tournament of the complete Project
GIPF weekend, this loss appeared to be very expensive! Kurt knew
that! If he had won, he would not only have ended the GIPF-tournament
on a shared first place with Werner, but he would also have had
the chance to become the Project GIPF Champion for the second consecutive
time! Now, as things went, he came just one point short: that one
point he should not have lost!
3 players ended on the 3rd place with 4 wins: Patrick Van de Perre,
Jeroen Weyn (and by doing so, he secured his first place in the
overall standings), and the surprise of the day: Frédéric
Van Aelst, who first won against newcomer Koen princen, and next
against former tournament winners Rita pauwels, André De
Laet and Boris Ammerlaan.
