Insgesamt fünf Spieler und eine Spielerin nahmen am int. Schachfestival von Biel teil. Das Turnier gilt bekanntlich als eines der härtesten der Schweiz, und so war es denn auch. Es wurden keine Geschenke verteilt, jeder Punkt musste hart erarbeitet werden. Die Grenchner Truppe schlug sich ganz ordentlich, aber über sich hinaus wachsen konnte dann doch keiner. Immerhin konnte sich die 4 vorderen Spieler ca. um 10 bis 20 Ranglistenplätze verbessern. Herzlichen Glückwunsch. (Die Grenchner Spieler sind farbig markiert).
