MOSCOW - Austrian player Alexander Doppelhofer did not score the hattrick in Moscow he had dreamed of. The winner of the two preceding Russian open (MCR) championships ended on twelfth position.
This time, the Russian championship had a real Russian winner: Igor Birukov. Runner-up was Dmitry Maksakov and the third prize went to Mahjong News columnist Vitaly Novikov; he is the creator of the Sherlock Holmes Mahjong Mysteries, which soon will start again in the Independent Internet Mahjong Newspaper.
34 players participated in the competition; apart from Mr. Doppelhofer and Italian player Andrea Verpelli, who ranked number 4 in the final classification, all from Russia.

What a nice surprise!
NICE GUY-NICE CHAMPION!
Congratulations from your former partners.
Sylvie, Sven, Kevin...
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.
This contrasts with the EMA MCR country ranking, which is led by France.
The "Poker Face" won again, congrats to him.
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...
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 !
