Keywords: Tournament
New World Amateur Championships organized in Incheon, a city near Seoul, Korea. Tournament is 6 round Swiss to determine the top four players, then a semi-final and final determines the winner. So far the top four players are Junghwan Kim (Korea), Satoshi Hiraoka (Japan), Emil Nijhuis (Netherlands) and Dmytro Bogatskyy from Ukraine. mgoetze: Well, my sources claim that the following four are tied at 4:0 each: Hiraoka Satoshi 8d (Japan), Kim Cheong-hwan 6d (Korea), Lezek Soldan 6d (Poland) and Cornel Burzo 6d (Rumania). Stefan: Try a refresh on the "Results" page, m. As these are results after 6 rounds, it looks like China will not go to the semi-final knock-out stage, which is a big surprise to me. And all they did wrong was losing to Japan, so it is not like the Chinese representative really dropped the ball in a major way. But good for Emil and Dmytri, of course. Let's see whether the Europeans can break the Korean stranglehold on international titles. mgoetze: My Korean isn't good enough to even find a results page!
GoStone Try here: Stefan: The tournament was won by Japan, who eliminated The Netherlands in the semi-final. The other finalist was Korea, who disposed of Ukraine in the semis. ZeroKun: Master of kibitzing Deft (aka Morten Ofstad, Norway 4d) was in the tournament and landed a final score of 2 wins and 4 losses. Lets all give him a thumbs up for his effort in the tournament. HansWalthaus: Could somebody give a meaning to the two acronyms in the scoring table: SOS and SOSOS? And their use in determining the winner? I got this so far: Sum Opponents Score and Sum Opponents Sum Of Opponents. Fhayashi: Sum Of SOS? Link to Jan van Rongen's account:
