Like the 1st edition, organized during the 1st lock-down, the Korean ex-insei Kim Young-Sam (8-d) won unbeaten. He confirms more than ever his leading place in the European rating list. Silver medal was Artem Kachanovski, who was the only top competitor with 5 wins. Artem ended ahead of four players with 4 wins: Our country fellow Lucas Neirynck ends 8th with a 3/6 score.

Feat by Lucas Neirynck: he defeated Alexander Dinerstein, a pro player, in the 2nd round of the European Championship !In the 2nd round of the European Championship, Lucas Neirynck realized the most impressive feat in his life: he managed to defeat a professional player, Alexander Dinerstein. Alexander Dinerstein became pro in 2002 in the Korean Baduk Association. He has been 7 times European champion (between 1999 and 2009), and is still one of the strongest European players (8th in the last European Rating). It was a very tight game from the beginning to the end, that Lucas finally won by...1,5 point ! To download the game: see "sgf file" in red here: https://www.eurogofed.org/egc/2020.html In the next round, Lucas will play another pro: Andreii Kravets. PS: I advice you to look at the spectacular game Lucas won in the 1st round against Sinan Djepov, wherein he managed to survive in the moyo of his opponent before delivering a nice tesuji as "coup de grace".
