Tournament of Spirits
The Tournament of Spirits was played in the Netherlands on Sunday, 3 June 2007. The event was run by a Dutch club that holds regular evening tournaments on Wednesdays and Saturdays and keeps a running rating list for its members.
Results
- Winner: Mac
- Runner-up: Niko
- Consolation winner: Marcel
Every round of the tournament counted towards the club rating, and the organisers published the rating of each player after every round. A free entry to one of the club tournaments was awarded as an extra prize and went to Gerta.
Mac came through the main draw to take the title, while Marcel won the consolation event for players who had lost in the main bracket. Vincent, who started the day as the second-highest rated player in the club, kept his place near the top of the list.
