Things are looking up again! After some disappointing turnout numbers in recent years, the 23rd edition of our traditional rapid chess tournament saw an impressive 55 participants. Our thanks go to the Main-Taunus Chess Association, which chose to designate our tournament as this year’s rapid chess championship — a decision that certainly played a key role in the encouraging rise in attendance. The tournament was won by a junior player, Daniel Elias Ochs, while Thomas Schlapp — one of our strongest, if not our strongest, rapid chess players — secured the MTS championship title.

The 8th edition of the big go tournament Frankfurt TipTap, held over the last weekend of September at Saalbau Griesheim, did not only see a possibly record-breaking 88 participants but also an extraordinarily strong field at the top. In the 5th round, the two Japanese top seeds Maekawa Kaku and Kamegawa Keiji (both 6th Dan) faced off in a showdown, which Kamegawa Keiji was able to decide in his favour only to have to yield first place to his opponent nevertheless on grounds of a slighly worse tiebreak score.
