And we have our winners....

even though all games stayed interesting until the final board had finished at 3:10pm! Once that had happened the calculations and verifications had to happen.

During the closing ceremony everything got confirmed - the team England 50-1 are the new European Champions amongst the senior teams in the category 50+ with Berlin and Germany in 2nd and 3rd place. Lasker Schachstiftung from Germany took the top spot in the category 65+ with Finland 65 and Germany on the other two top spots. We congratulate both teams to their success!

The top three ELO performances of all boards were also honoured - and of course we also made sure our women's teams were recognised for their work.

In the next days further pictures and details will be posted.
