Dear Friends,
After 2 years and 9 months from start of Witold Bielecki Memorial/Top Players – the strongest ICCF event since 12 years – only one game remains open.
We know that winners are both GM Stephan Busemann and GM David A. van der Hoeven.
Congratulations to Stephan & David!
Last game is decisive for the 3rd place – chances still have GM Arno Nickel, GM David Lafarga Santorromán & GM Leonardo Ljubičić.
Our friend Carlos Flores is unable to perform TD duties since few months because of helf problems. In all tournaments he was replaced by another TD, but I found not necessary to change him in this event.
If problem or claim may arrise please write to me directly – I will consider it instead of Carlos.
I wish all of you and your families Merry Christmass and please accept my warmest greetings on the occation of the New Year 2015!
Best regards, Mariusz
