Only minutes before the tournament is going to start: The 6 tables in the hall.
|
|
Manfred Wichmann is happy about the near victory with Prussia (game 6).
|
| | |
And that's how the hall looked like with the players.
|
|
Thorsten Hennig, Mark Luta and Louis at the table; in the background there is André Spiegel with a big camera.
|
| | |
Friedrich, the football-shirt (a german national player is called Arne Friedrich), worn by Bernd Preiß (game 4).
|
|
Again game 4: Steffen Schröder is moving. Christian Blattner, Louis and Bernd are his opponents.
|
| | |
Björn Apelqvist as Prussia against Thorsten Hennig, Rodrigo Witzler and Jürgen Pfeiffer (game 3).
|
|
Björn comes with an interesting variant: Hanover fights Sweden, Prussia defends against France in Hanoverian spades...
|
| | |
... Rodrigo, however, encounters this with a pure Imperial Army strategy: By ignoring Silesia, the Austrians support Hildburghausen winning the game!
|
|
Anton Telle against Andreas Zölitz, Daniel Jensen and Thorsten Hennig (game 10). Anton will be the winner after 23 turns.
|
| | |
In this game, Thorsten is Prussia. He has to struggle hard against Mark Luta, Louis and Michel Lepetit (game 18).
|
|
That's the end of Richard Sivél' offensive option: After the decisive defeat against Russia in hearts, Richard's Prussian troops in Bohemian hearts are encircled and eliminated by Jürgen Pfeiffer (game 17)
|
| | |
In game 20, Hanover has very strong spades after only few turns! Wow! That is ...
|
|
... simply amazing! And the Prussian player Daniel Jensen is of course very pleased about it.
|
| | |
Andrea Homberg fights against Christian Blattners Russians (game 22).
|
|
And in game 21, Marian Leimbach has to smile about a martial dictum of Sascha Rakow. In the end, Sascha will indeed win with France.
|
| | |
Game 24, the last game of the qualification round: Bernd Preiß is the winner after 22 turns with Prussia. Stefan Altmann and Dennis Kelsey are looking not too happy, don't they?
