Dmitri Epifanov have showed very good playing level in recent internet renju tournaments, winning already third competition in a row! I admire his ability to work and efficiency – he reach to train his own and Turkish students, help with different renju/gomoku organisation things and be active in many fields of life.
June 13th Renju June Cup was played in vint.ee. We had 2 groups in this tournament. Time control in Gr. A was 15min+ 5sec, in Gr. B 7 min+5sec. 7 rounds in Swiss was be played in Gr. A and 9 rounds in Gr. B.
