Travemünder Open has started

GM Daniel Fridman (left) has started in good style in the 30th Travemünder
Open which started today in the Ostsee-Akademie. Fridman had a big
advantage in this 2.round-game against Helge Magnussen and probably
won.


Dr.Gabrielle Just from SG Leipzig is a popular guest in Travemünde. She
always plays interesting chess and this year is certaintly no exception!


Dr.Anita Just from Weissblau Allianz Leipzig also likes to play in Travemünde.
She started with a victory. Her game from the 2nd round was not finished
when I left the Ostsee-Akademie tonight.


Joachim Just (right) from Motor Zeitz makes another start in Travemünde.
One might expect him to play some fascinating French-games during this
tournament.


WGM Marta Michna started with a victory. She will try hard for a good
result in this tournament, probably going for a top ten place in the standings.

The organizer has some problems with the liveboards. There will be no
live games this year.I started with two victories today. The 3rd round starts
tomorrow at 9.00.
