Mateusz (right) with Martin Stiassny, President of the EGF

The 7th European Professional Championship was held on 20–23 March in Hamburg, Germany. Six professionals certified by the EGF played out a round-robin, after which two participants topped the tournament table with four wins out of five games: Mateusz Surma 3p and Andrii Kravets 1p. In a tie-breaking game on the last day of the competition, Mateusz defeated Andrii and thus claimed the Championship, repeating his success from last year when this tournament was held online.

Below you can see the deciding game between Mateusz and Andrii. For more game records and complete results, see the web page of the 7th European Professional Championship.
