Ayyyna Sobakina (Russia) did win the Europian title (Girls 16). There was a dramatical moment for Karlijn Overes. She played a great tournament but she lost the last game.

Maryia Mironava (Belarus) won the title. She used two quick combinations to win. On live draught you could follow the game. Congratulations. At the picture it is the right player.

Sorry, again a mistake Posted by: feike at 2009-08-06 15:43:52
Due to the delayed eights round, I unfortunately made an input error again. Roel Boomstra is not playing against Wouter Sipma, but against Maksym Sharov.

Sipma also on top Posted by: j.e.de.vries at 2009-08-06 14:51:33
Wouter Sipma (Boys 16) has traced his teammate Boomstra. Both are member of the organizing Hijken DTC. Safonov is still playing at this moment. After more than 100 moves, he has chances to win. Karlijn Overes defeated Rajasalu (Est) and is lonely on top.

Vera Kvashinskaja first champion Posted by: j.e.de.vries at 2009-08-06 13:07:45
Vera Kvashinskaja (Girls 13)from Belarus is the first champion of this tournament. She defeated Michelle de Jong. She is unattainable for the other girls. Congratulations!

Live comments on the topgames Posted by: feike at 2009-08-06 11:56:32
Live comments possible at final round with Toernooibase/Tournamentbase During the last round of the EC Youth it is possible to make live comments on the topgames. The same feature which was used during the WK match Schwarzman – Georgiev. You can make your comments (also guests) at Toernooibase/Tournamentbase. toernooibase and then the link Livegames. The topgames in Tournamentbase are showed in a different way, without graphics of Horizon and with navigation arrows. With the option Make comment you can make encouragements to the player(s) or technical remarks at the game. (P.S. the server-time of Tournamentbase is Beilen time – minus two hours. So the time showed at the remarks is different than the real time). Watch it: when the applet does not start, there can be a conflict in your browser with the other livepage from the EC-page. You then can shut down the EC-livepage and refresh Tournamentbase, or use Tournamentbase in another browser (for example, livepage EC-Youth: Internet Explorer, livepage Tournamentbase: Firefox).

Anton Bursuk has his birthday Posted by: feike at 2009-08-06 09:11:12
Today it's Anton Bursuk's birthday. But that doesn't mean he is allowed to play on two boards. I made a mistake while inputting the names for liveboards. Martijn van Ijzendoorn plays his match against Anton Permyakov.

Boomstra beats Safonov Posted by: j.e.de.vries at 2009-08-05 23:23:08
Most striking news is the scenery change at 'Boys 16'. Roel Boomstra defeated his competitor Safonov and took the lead. Tomorrow he plays against Rik Verboon.

Intermediate round 6: IJzendoorn leads Posted by: j.e.de.vries at 2009-08-04 19:10:55
Not all games are finished yet, but there are some results in the younger groupes. Martijn van IJzendoorn has taken the front position. Eastern Europe is powerful by the ‘Girls 13’. The White Russian Vera Kvashinskaja leads with 11 point from 6 games. The young Polish player Karol Cichocki leads with 2 points gap. He defeated the Russian player Andrej Urndzentiev, or is he still named Innokientiev? In the category ‘Girls 10’ the White Russian player Maryia Mironava leads.

Mistake Posted by: feike at 2009-08-04 10:19:52
Sorry, the names of the B19 game Palmans - Tolchikau are exchanged. Palmans plays with white. Sorry for the inconvenience, Feike Boomstra, live boards operator

Good news: live draughts is working again Posted by: j.e.de.vries at 2009-08-02 12:00:33
