Finnish Open 2009 results

Best finnish male player in category C. That thought didn’t help me much, final position is still 5th (two foreign male player, one woman and one finnish woman in front of me) and that means, first time since 2004 i’m out from medal positions. Next year then.

Extremely happy for Tero Peltola finishing 1st in B category. He’s done so much work for that. Keep up good work and maybe next year you have a chance to win A-category.

Thanks Satu about picture. Tero Peltola (left) Antero Myllymäki (right).
