Mr Pountzas is the winner The Solving Contest of Patras was succesful. First winner was mr. Pountzas Chryssanthos, second winner was mr. Manolas Emmanuel, third winner was the 14-years(!) old Konstantinos Smpoukis. Very promising was also the fifth place for miss Antzela Mavromati (the only woman among contestants). The always faultless organizer Harry Fougiaxis gave prestige to the contest, while new horizons were opened for Fairy Chess by mr. Manolas Emmanuel.

It is good to see the great Fougiaxis in action, he is a guarantee of good organization!
Congratulations to Mr. Pountzas for the great result!

By the way, nice selection of compositions! The four mover and helpmate are really a pleasure to solve while the endgame is a difficult nut to crack!
Congratulations to all solvers!
