MahjongNews publie dans une langue étrangère. Je peux lui pardonner l'usage d'expressions qui auraient pu être dites autrement. ("too smart" au lieu de "outsmarted")

Par contre, la réplique n'était pas drôle. Informative, peut-être (donc ayant quoi comme but au juste ?), mais ce n'est pas de l'humour, ni du premier, ni du troisième, ni du énième degré.

Ce n'est pas parce qu'on rit que c'est drôle.

Senechal, the title is third-degree humor, to point out the funny situation: 4 French players are ranked in the upper 5, but the winner is Italian.

This contrasts with the EMA MCR country ranking, which is led by France.

The "Poker Face" won again, congrats to him.

By labeling group A "too smart", you're essentially labeling group B as "retarded".

When can we drop this sick hyperbole once and for all? I mean, it seems like you aren't even playing mahjong to have fun anymore.

IT > FR. "Yeah but what about..." IT > NL (with innuendo that FR > NL). Sounds more like a penis-measuring contest than a game we can play together...

Participant in the competition :
french 34/96 = 35%
dutch 27/96 = 28%
italian 7/96 = 07%

In the Top Ten :
french 6/10 = 60%
dutch 3/10 = 30%
italian 1/10 = 10%

And it's not because of dutch players if Marco lose 2 times 2 points... WE have done our job ;)

He was just the best, once again : congratulations to you Marco !

Dagmar Fischer new German champion

Top three playersHAMBURG - German mahjong players are doing very well this year. Until some years ago, they did not play a role of importance on international tournaments. Even the yearly friendship Rhododendron Tournament against Dutch players at Edewecht was never won by a German player. But it looks like these days are definitely over.

In May this year, Richard Stöckeman was laureated as the first German winner of an international MERS tournament. And now, just four months later, the Germans ruled on their own (open) championship. After the Third German Open, concluded today in Hamburg, Dagmar Fischer was crowned as the winner and as the new German champion, with Stephanie Duhme as the runner-up. Last year, those two positions were for Danish players (Brian Krog and Henrik Leth). The number 3 place in Hamburg was for Joe-Calberson Huynh from France.

Just 32 players participated in this championship, which coincided with the Dutch Nine Gates Tournament at IJsselstein.

Results

DMJL-vice-president Stephan Hilchenbach made a video  of the championship. (A high-quality version of the film, together with all the raw takes, is available at Mah-Jongg Shop for €5,00 plus shipping.)
