27/03/2025 – Matthias Blübaum wins the European Championship title for the second time, following his first success in 2022 – a feat never before achieved by any other player! Frederik Svane’s victory in the final round gave Germany a triumphant double, while Israeli (!) GM Maxim Rodshtein completed the podium with 8½ points out of 11. While Marc’Andria Maurizzi was shipwrecked, two other Frenchmen did well to qualify for the next World Cup: Maxime Lagarde (7½; 19th) and Paul Velten (7½; 20th). Photo: David Llada.
