European Blitz Championschip 2006 was held in Cannes, France and funny enough, I could't find the exact date. But what is really surprising is the fact that in lineup full of tough GMs, players rated 2041 and 1499 have tied first place with GM Robert Fontaine. The heroes are Adolivio Capece and Magnus Kristinsson.
Final standings:
1-3. Adolivio Capece 2041, Magnus Kristinsson 1499 and GM Robert Fontaine 2524 with 16 points out of 24 rounds
4-6. IM Nicolai Vesterbaek Pedersen 2516, WGM Bettina Trabert 2276 and IM Vitali Koziak 2465 15.5/24
7. GM Ivan Ivanisevic 2588 15/24
8-10. IM Timur Asanov 2392, Laurent Chaderon 2208 and IM Marc Leski 2413 14.5/24
11-13. IM Ante Saric 2455, IM Matthieu Cornette 2388 and Jean Peyrin 2065 14/24 etc.
There were 69 participants. GM Christian Bauer (2627) finished 18th, GM Viktor Bologan (2661) 24th, GM Jan Timman (2630) 29th....
