RESULTS OF OPEN SWEDISH TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Similarly to the previous years the Swedish team chamionship was
played in Stockholm at Rosengatan 1. It gathered altogether eight
teams and players from three countries - Sweden, Estonia and Finland.
The totalt amount of participants was 25. Due to the changing of
tournament system - from earlier used Italian system to round robin,
the number of rounds decreased and thereby the games where played
with a longer time - 55 minutes per game. The traditional time limit
has been 30 minutes. A draw could be demanded after 60 own moves
(119/120).
Even this year the tournament was won by a foreign team. Estonia 1
with ruling world champion Tunnet Taimla, Aivo Oll and Maris Tuvikene
were convincing champions with leaving the silver medalists and
Swedish team champions - Hannes Hermansson, Linus Hermansson and
Marcus Eriksson behind at 14,5. That was 2,5 points less than that of
the winners. At bronze we had an another foreign team - Tampere with
Samuli Saarenpää, Marko Pellikka and Lauri Toivonen.

Every year since 2000 the go-mocu computer tournament takes place in Czech republic. There were only Czech speaking partitipants till now and because of increasing quality and quantity of computer brains I decided to try extending the tournament engagement for people of English speaking countries and the another countries as well. I have written you to found out if you are interesting in this tournament. So far all information are present unfortunatly only in Czech language. If I found out that you are interesting in this matter, I would translate all necessary information into English to be present in time. For the time being I give you only the basic information: The tournament is free, there are is no entry fee. The brains are executable files (*.exe console application) communicating via text files. The tournament program executes the brain, the brain reads the text file with the position and in the time limit saves the best move in the text file. The tournament program reads the text files asw. I expected the tournament will take part in spring 2004. If you want to join in, contact me please at email adress tomas_kubes@seznam.cz I will be glad if you forwards this message to the potencial applicants.

It includes all results from 1961-2003: Free gomoku(Fritt luffarschack) (L61-L80) Renju (R81-R89,L90-L96,Re97-Re03) Five-In-A-Row (Ryskt Luffarschack) (L81-L89,Ry97-Ry03) Pente (P84-P89) There are a search page and two pages with default listings. However you can also by yourself decide exactly which championships you want to see and which sums. You can also decide in which way to sort, if you want to see the result ascending or descending, how many scores you want to see or which places you want to see. You can find the All time word table/list (Maratontabellen) on the following page withing the Jonkoping club site: http://www.lemes.se/kfumjkpg/maraton/maratonsm.htm If you are interested to use my method for your country I could give you my php-files and a mysql-file with structure. You must have a web site with php and mysql. RIF Web site has php and mysql and in the future maybe I will change the address above to an address within RIF. If you want to contact me via email, please, se to it that the word RENJU is on the subject line. Because of my long activities within Internet unfortunately I receive about 70 letters everyday and about 69 is of no use for me so I have to just check very quickly (without opening any letter) if some letter includes something interesting.

Friendly, Ants _____________________________________________________________________ RESULTS OF UPSALA RENJU OPEN 27th of september 2003 the Upsala Renju Open was held for the first time in a few years. Among the 12 competitors were three of the swedish participants from this summers World Championchip as well as some other routined and also some less experienced players. Our old star Ingvar Sundling made comeback and played his first tournament in several years. Both Stefan Karlsson and Petter Gardstrom where undefeated in their respective groups before the final round. Petter won against Stefan in the final and had thus not lost a single game in the turnament. Martin Carlsson won the final competing for the third place against Tord Andersson. Remarkable is that a new player discovered by the Uppsala Club, Michel Harms - a german exchange student, who had just learned about renju played well and had an interesting, long game against Irene Karlsson. Unfortunately and probably because of stress of the clock ticking he missed his winning moves and lost the game. Renju Uppsala wishes to thank Petter Gardstrom for arranging with hosting of the tournament and food for the players, and Aeterna Service AB for sponsoring part of the tournament. //Martin Larsson, Tord Andersson.

entertainment activities, such as bowling, billiard, table tennis
swimming and saunas.
D) Most fee of this competition is paid by the organizing committee,
players only need to pay the registration fee and $20 for meals
and accommodation per day per person. The registration fee, for
Asian plays is $35, and for others is $40.

awards.

It is really wonderful system. Wenzhe Lu had done great job indeed.
We are very thankful to him. There was a big team of test players and
analysts who gave many good ideas for developing the system. If you
have some good ideas, you are most welcome to let us know.
The current version is named 1.0 Beta, which means it is possible to
look around and make more suggestions until the 1.0 will be final.
About the username, it's easy. In the first step you log in to system
as guest, and once you get in, you will register real ID inside.
I believe this system will become home for all renju players of the
world, and I hope to see you all there soon!! Everybody, welcome
welcome!!

- THE 8TH WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP IS OVER
- MOM FOR THE RIF GENERAL ASSEMBLY
_____________________________________________________________________
Dear Renju friends.
The 8th World Championship is over.
I would like to thank all people (in Sweden and in other countries)
who made this championship possible. Due to problems with findning
sponsors we had to make the event with a small budget. But on the
other hand we are quite satisfied with the organization. All
important things worked out rather good.
Congratulations to the World Champions Yuliya Savrasova and Tunnet
Taimla and also to their trainers Irina Metreveli and Ants Soosorv.
During these days was the RIF General Assembly, a meeting in good
spirit with a lot of optimism and interesting things for the future.
Some important decisions:
In the Central Committee from now on is an extra member, Anders
Henningsson. He has the title as Vice President and he will work with
cooperation between Asia and Europe.
The decision on point 14 is very important. It is about how RIF
should deal with a future change of the opening rules. This work will
be carried out by the Rules Commission. If you have opinons in this
question, please contact the Rules Commission.
I am very pleased with the decision on point 15. From now on the work
of the commissions will be more effective.
The book "Five-In-A-Row/Renju" will be printed in 500 copies. We hope
to do this within six months.
On Dec 1, May 16 and Aug 1 will be announcements in Renju Newsletter
about what tournaments that will be counted on the official RIF
rating list, together with information how to take part in those
tournaments. The exception will be this year. Aug 1 is changed to Sep 1.
RIF will re-establish a list of connection men in countries without
Renju federations. Are you interested in being the connection man for
your country, please contact me petejonsson@hotmail.com
Locations for future Championships:

About history of 4-in-a-row on 4xn board. Lustenberger in 1967 showed that first player win for n sufficiently large. Selfridge showed that n=28 enough. I solved problem without computer, I analyzed using renju/gomoku technic of analysis. It was very interesting, some variants are pretty hard. The result is first-player can win in 4-in-a-row on 4x11 board (overline is win). I have not found any information about n=11, but I am not sure that I have got result the first.

AGENDA FOR THE RIF GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Aug 5, 2003 in Vadstena, Sweden
1. Opening of the General Assembly.
2. Election of the Chairman of the General Assembly.
3. Election of the secretary of the General Assembly.
4. Election of three persons who should check the minutes.
5. Election of three scrutineers.
6. Approval of the agenda.
7. Roll call.
8. Adoption of new RIF members, if any. New members do have the
right to vote on the General Assembly.
9. Annual report from the President, the Treasurer and the Auditor.
10. Approval of the work of the Central Committee for the last two
years.
11. Budget and the membership fee.
12. Election of the Central Committee.
The Estonian federation suggests Anders Henningsson to be a
candidate for Vice President.
13. Proposal from the General Secretary:
RIF should use a system with coefficients for the member fees
depending on the economical situation in the country concerned.
If the General Assembly approves the proposal the Central
Committee should make a suggestion for coefficients that can be
approved on the General Assembly 2005.
At the Mind Sports Olympiad such system was used for the
tournament fees.
14. Proposal from Yuriy Tarannikov (through the President):
We will have one "perspective future opening rules" (PFOR) and
five "candidate future opening rules" (CFOR). During the period
between two General Assemblies these rules and new prepositions
are analyzed by federations and an Opening Rules Commission. At
each General Assembly the following three questions are decided:
a) Will the current PFOR become the new RIF rules? If not
b) Which rules will be the new PFOR (the choice is possible only
between the current PFOR and the five current CFOR; also it is
possible that the status of PFOR will be vacant).
c) Which maximum five number of rules will be the new CFOR:s
(the choice is possible between all prepositions.
For example, if we introduce this system at the GA 2003 then we
will be able to decide five CFOR at the GA 2005, one PFOR at the
GA 2007 and to establish the new rules at the GA 2009. So, we
will have enough time to analyze all consequences and renju
players do not have to be afraid of that the rules will be
changed suddenly.
15. Proposal from the President: The commissions are given a specific
task (from the GA or the Central Committee) and a specific date
when it should be ready together with the report.
During all RIF history the work of the commissions have with a
few exceptions been very poor. Maybe it can be easier for the
commissions to work in this way.
16. Proposal from the President: RIF should be registered as an
official organization.
It has been a wish from some people that it would be much easier
for them to cooperate with authorities in their countries if RIF
was an official organization. RIF can apply for registration in
Sweden. This will lead to that RIF will have a REGISTRATION
NUMBER. It is no cost for the registration in Sweden but the
authorities need a copy of the statues and copies of the General
Assembly minutes. The form for registration will be brought to
the GA in Vadstena.
17. Proposal from the President: RIF should have an official Swiss
system to be used in all RIF championships. The Referee
Commission makes a suggestion and the Central Committee decides.
In Chess FIDE has an official system. For us it should be easier
for referees and players.
18. Proposal from the President: RIF should reprint the book "Five-In-
A-Row/Renju". In the same time the book should be updated with
new information in the end of the book (pages 152 – 154).
The cost for 500 copies in the same quality as the original book
is about 20 000 SEK. I think it is necessary not only to have
information available on internet but also in book form.
19. Proposal from the President: The Sport Committee should a month
before a new rating period starts declare what tournaments during
this period that should be counted on the RIF official rating
list. The declaration should be announced in the Renju Newsletter.
Moreover, the first rating period of a year should be from Jan 1
– May 15.
As the situation is now I am not sure that all players really
know what tournaments that are counted. Quite often it happens
that a tournament starts in the end of April and finishes in May.
20. Proposal from the President: RIF should re-establish a list of
connection men and publish this list on RIF home page. The
President should at minimum once every sixth month ask the
connection men about the situation of Renju in the country
concerned and also ask if he/she wants to continue as a
connection man.
The President should also see that RIF systematically check out
all sites for renju/five in a row in order to establish more
contacts. The President can ask suitable persons to carry out
this task and he should also together with the Central Committee
take care of that a "package" of information can be delivered (by
ordinary mail or by e-mail) to people who have showed interest
for Renju. The President can during the next two years use
maximum 4000 SEK for this task.
21. Decision of the place for future RIF official championships.
a) Tyumen in Russia has asked for being the host for the Team
World Championship in 2004.
b) Tallinn in Estonia has asked for being the host for the World
Championship in 2005.
c) Asian Championship
d) Youth World Championship
e) European Championship
22. Reports from the commissions
23. Elections for delegates in all RIF commissions. The former
delegates can be found on General Assembly decisions 2001, part2,
see http://www.renju.nu/agendaga2001/ga_part2.PDF
24. Closing of the General Assembly

Order of rounds we took by lot, but so fairly, that 2 best players Ando and Tunnet met in the last round. But before last round Ando lost 1 game against Timo. So, Ando had 1 point less and started very sharply against Tunnet - with I12 . But Tunnet couldnt win as black and finally made mistake and lost. Ando could play more carefullyin next game, but he continued with risky playng - Tunnet put D 11 and Ando continued as white and left to I 10. Finally they got position, where Tunnet had little initiative, but less time. Now Ando made mistake and Tunnet won. Only luck give me 3rd place, because Johann didnt close 4 against me and Timo missed very easy win. Last year winner Timo made many mistakes - he could quite easily win one game against Tunnet too.

especially it is well known with a wooden groove of Russian masters
in an old part of the city. Tyumen is the "Capital of Petroleum".
There are a lot of banks in the city. Some of them take leading
positions in Russia.
The city promptly grows and becomes handsomer. Nowadays Tymen takes
the third place in Russia in rates of housing. Also an intensive
reconstruction of roads is made and by 2004 it will be basically
completed. There are many cultural institutions: museums, theatres,
and a casino. The cultural business center also works.

This tournament was the first step to form a club. Some older players maybe recognize Robert Andersson who played actively about 10-15 years ago (Stockholm Summer Trophy, Vladimir Team Tournament in 1988). Unfortunately, some other players living in the region could not take part this time. The well known Gothenburg player Jan Palmgren is now on East Timor, working for the UN. He will be back in Sweden in June. The Swedish federation will from now on work more actively to form more clubs all over the country. 1. Peter Jonsson Jönköping 10 p 2.
