Andres Kuusk won the EMV in mind games.

On June 13-14, 2009, the individual mind games competitions took place. 7 female competitors and 16 male competitors took part. For the second time in a row, the winner was Andres Kuusk (fantunes), who had a very nice final score of 100 points. Rauno Pärnits, who strongly resisted the leader, took 2nd place with 94 points. Tiit Vunk(TiiT) surprisingly took 3rd place with 89.5 points. The top six also included: 4. Meelis Tätte (KingMell)- 84 points 5. Eino Vaher (Madison)- 82 points 6. Heigo Reima (Heixx)- 82 points Since when dividing points, the underdogs were considered and in case of equality, 2nd places, etc., were considered, Eino Vaher overtook Heigo Reima due to the underdog. The best among women was Kertu Urgand (Mimm)- 58.5 points, which gave her 11th place in the overall standings. The best senior was Mati Kure - 55.5 points, which gave him 14th place in the overall standings. The best young player was Martin Hõbemägi (matu97)- 51 points, which gave him 15th place in the overall standings. In addition to the best overall winners, medals were also awarded to the underdogs: Sudoku was won by Tiit Vunk (TiiT) Chess was won by Rauno Pärnits who played a beautiful game Bridge, which offered many interesting divisions, was won by Eino Vaher(Madison) Gomoku was won by Timo Ilu(allever) Checkers was won by Ervins Veitsurs who played very tenaciously. If anyone is interested in finding out how everything happened in more detail, there is also a summary table that can be found here. HERE! See you at the beginning of 2010 when the EMV of mind games in pairs takes place. All the best, Vint.ee team

The table is made in Excel, where there is a general table and separate tables for each area (all in tabs). You can find the table HERE!

I guess I'm blind, but I can't find the table.

Now the table exists.

The high level of the tournament in some individual disciplines is demonstrated by the fact that in sudoku, the Estonian champion for the last 2 years, Ain Salula, had to settle for only 4th place, and in the gomoku tournament, the youth world champion Martin Hõbemägi was also 4th.

It was quite kind of me to be given points in bridge, considering the fact that I didn't really understand what was going on :)

I would also like to point out that many of the above mentioned are Vint users. Vint has taught me a good lesson :)

In individual bridge with a weak average level, the variability is quite large and it can really happen that the skill of the game does not really pay off. Especially in such a short tournament, where the hands are repeated less than in strong bridge tournaments. According to my personal preference, a bridge tournament could be played in pairs, as is the case in Russia, for example, and here a few years ago. But this guise also has its own clear disadvantages. It is also recommended to exclude bridge from individual games altogether. A place for discussion with the future in mind.

I think they could have kept the memory game and used gomoku instead of bridge in individual all-around competitions.

That was one way to do it, but the memory game was still the one that was lost, since it's not so much a mind game. But that really doesn't take away the fact that bridge had a lot of luck in it.
