Hello Everybody,

I am back.

GILLES DELMOTTE won BRUNO FERET and became 2004 French championship today.

And ARNAUD CORDIER could only draw LAURENT NICAULT today.

GILLES DELMOTTE and ARNAUD CORDIER are 1st tied in classification.
But in FRANCE, Priority to the player who win more times in a tournament.

So GILLES DELMOTTE is the new champion of France.

More news later. I am tired.

1) GERARD SANNIER of DAMIER CLUB DE ROUEN has begun to update his site. You can have a lot of news about 2004 FRANCE CHAMPIONSHIP.

http://rouendames.chez.tiscali.fr

2) TON SIJBRANDS played a "blind simultanée" against ARNAUD CORDIER and LAURENT NICAULT with the timer (2h/50 moves and 1h to finish for each player)

Friday evening

T. SIJBRANDS - A CORDIER : 1-1
T. SIJBRANDS - L. NICAULT : 2-0

3) About my bad results (3rd division - Honneur) : more tomorrow.

4) TON SIJBRANDS played a "simultanée against 35 players. He drew 3 players and won the others. Unfortunately, FAUSTIN EKOLLO lost with the same style of game that permitted him to draw ALEXEI TCHIZOV in CANNES two times.
Players who drew (If not mistake from me) : ALAIN PROUTEAU, RENE ESTEBE and CAMARA N'FANARA

I hope that I didn't made a mistake about number of draws. Information to be verified.

I played in 3rd division (HONNEUR). I played badly. I wasn't trained a lot.

I met CLAUDE JANUEL the 1st day. I should have lost. But after 6 hours of game, CLAUDE didn't see correctly the best way to win. I was lucky.

2nd day : I played DANIEL DUVAL, team-mate of ROUEN. I didn't take any risk. I moved back a lot with a lot of exchanges. DANIEL was the most offensive and won. I was disappointed of my game.

3rd day :
Morning
Against ALAIN PROUTEAU. I wanted to win and took more risks. But I played badly my end of game and drew.
Later this week, ALAIN DREW TON SIJBRANDS in SIMULTANEE (35 players).

Afternoon
My opponent was DOMINIQUE THINEY of COMPIEGNE. Draw

4th day :
I met JEAN-LOUIS FARCY of LE MANS. After 5 and 1/2 hour of game I saw a wrong combination. I lost.

5th day : I played a bad end of game against JEAN LELOUP of near PARIS. Defeat again.

6th day :

Morning
LUC CREVAT of near MARSEILLE easily won me.

Afternoon
I drew the leader MICHEL DEYDIER of NANTES. I took a lot of risks. I lost a piece. I should have lost. I was lucky.

7th day :
I easily drew the other leader VIANNEY DELEU of WATTRELOS (near LILLE).

8th day : I sould have won MICHEL EMOLO of REIMS. I won one piece. I had a King. I played badly end of game. DRAW.

9th day : I easily lost against LAURENT DESCAMPS of DOUAI (near LILLE).

I have 6 pts after 11 rounds. I lost about 80 pts in FRENCH RATINGS.
