European Club Championships

October 2006, European Club Championships, Fuegen, Austria. An exceptionally strong tournament with many of the best players in the world playing. I was top board for Slough Sharks and managed 5.5/7 achieving my 2nd gm norm and my highest ever rating performance at 2673. Our team also finished above our seeding on 3/7. We rented a chalet almost on the top of a mountain so was a fair trek down to the playing venue in the valley but gave us a great view and was really fun.
