EDEWECHT - It is not uncommon for the Dutch to grab the prizes at the MCR tournaments at the German mahjong capital of Edewecht. But it never was a Dutch treat like this weekend during the German Open 2011. Not only did Robert Rijnders win the event, but on the honorary stand he was accompanbied by two of his fellow-countrymen, Janine Scholtemeijer and Chris Scheffler. 

Finally, eight players who made it to the top-ten, were also Dutch. Only German players Nadine König (on position number 5) and Axel Eschenburg  (8th) prevented the top-ten from coloring all 'orange'. 48 players competed in this MERS 2 tournament.
