Bad Woerishofen (Germany) 13th-21st March 2003

The 19th Open held in Bad Woerishoven Germany turned to gather as many as 222 participants! Thus most contenders for the first prize started as usual from 3 wins whereupon they were only to gain 75% of the points to reach their goal. However it was just the Ukranian GM Stanislav Savchenko who managed to do that: 7,5 out of 9. Half a point behind were Arkadiy Rotstein, Felix Levin, Vladimir Georgiev, Alozais Kveinys and Oleg Korneev.
