OEMC Player: Dagmar Fischer
Dagmar Fischer from Germany
How often do you play mahjong?
Once or twice a week.
Would you like to play more, or less?
It is absolutely okay as it is.
If you can’t play with real people, do you play online then?
I did, but I really prefer real people.
Do you hate yourself sometimes for playing so much?
No.
With whom do you play?
With friends and club members.
Or do you prefer to play against strangers?
That’s more interesting indeed; the friends and club member are more or less predictable.
If you could, would you like to play mahjong for a living?
No, I would miss the sunlight!
Maybe not for the OEMC referees, but Mahjong News sure needs to do some investigation.
I don't know why Rui Manuel Machado and Ombretta Tassinari didn't show up, and it seems the article's author didn't know either.
It's unbelievable that a newspaper shows only one point of view without the opinions of the concerned parties, while lacking to present essential fact like why did the players have not shown up.
Excuse me Adrie if I seem aggressive, I understand your griefs, but it looks like you didn't know what you're talking about.
As I said on the first morning, I had come to win, and I did. I was very strong, because I wanted to win for my country, for my association and for my club. I really felt the love from everybody, and that helped me a lot!
It was lovely to play with you all!
Thank you!
Thanks to the Organizing Committee for a great and well planned tournament.
Last of all: Thanks to all of the players, for respecting the referees and making it a joyful experience to judge.
