GUILDFORD, Surrey - Nicolas Campina from France once again has proven to be a very strong riichi player. At Guildford, he won the Third UK Riichi Open. Amongst 52 players, he scored the best.
Matthias Koehler from Germany ended as the runner-up, while another Frenchman, Quentin Thomas, took third place.
Alex Horsman was the best British player on position. nr. 4, so he was acclaimed the new champion of England.
Organizer Ian Fraser sounded very satisfied after the MERS 1 competition: “Great support from the French, and a liberal sprinkling of Austrians, Germans, Swedes and Finns participated.”

Well, you are quoting from reliable sources (~_^), so I suppose you must be right… I should read my own newspaper better.
Anyway - it’s the first MERS tournament with three Slovakians on the honorary stand, right?
Congratulations! Hope to meet you all during the European Riichi Championship at Bad Vöslau, later this year.
