Exciting games for this Belgian Championship! Congratulations to all the players and especially to Lucas Neirynck who took back the title of Belgian Champion.
You can find some pictures of the tournament here, the full results here, the games of the two first boards on BelChamp1's account on KGS, and soon an accurate report and commented games in BelgoNet.

No miracle: Belgium has been severely beaten (0-4) by Sweden (which was stronger on paper anyway...)

After 6 of the 9 rounds, Belgium is 8th out of the 10 teams. At the end, the 2 last teams will descend into 3rd division for the next season)...Let us cross the fingers we will stay ahead of Spain and Croatia...

There was a mistake in the first list. Note that those players have been selected for the Final tour (5-6 and 19-20/03/11)

Unfortunately, once again, the strengh difference proved to be too great: Belgium lost 0-4 to Danemark in the 4th round (played 25/01/11)...

Despite the fact that no Belgian player has lost against a (on paper) weaker opponent up till now, Belgium has only 2 points after the 4 first rounds...(looks like typical Belgian Eurovision score, isn'it ?! :-) 

Beligum - Poland 0-4
