Andreii Kravets (UKR, 3-p) wins his 3rd European title (2023-2024-2026) in Ankara, where the European Congress was organised this year.

He won against Ali Jabarin (3-p) in final (poor Ali lost in final of the European Championship for the 5th time !).

Mateusz Surma (PL, 4-p), last year's winner, had lost surprisingly in 1/4 of final against Denis Dobranis (RO, 6-d).

In the main tournament (open), some strong Korean and Chinese 7-d amateurs have dominated as usual (1st European player ended 7th with a 6/10 score).
Unbeaten winner is Korean Ahn Yonho, with the perfect score of 10 wins in 10 rounds.
