Life In 19x19 :: 1st European Professional Go Championship

This was first edition of European Pro tournament. Fan Hui has won all his games and the right to play in ING Cup, and Mateusz Surma from Poland has won his way to ING Cup also as he secured a 2nd place after beating Ilia Shikshin and Ali Jabarin in the playoffs.

It has been hosted and organised by Russian Go Federation and EGF in the city of Petersburg.
Details and games:

Who took the third place and qualified for Chunlan?

My understanding is that there was no time to play 3 games, so all players agreed to decide 1 player seeded in the finals by draying of lots, the other two then playing a "semifinal". Ilya won the drawing of lots, Mateusz won the semifinal against Ali and the final against Ilya, so Mateusz is second, Ilya 3rd.(source: http://www.dgob.de/yabbse/index.php?top ... #msg198011 in german)
