2 IM norms in Clichy!!

Two players obtain their standard at the end of the MI tournament in Clichy. While it took 6 points for an MI norm, Augustin Droin gets 7.5 points with a performance of 2614!!! 300 points above his ranking, and wins the tournament at the tiebreaker in front of the GM Martin Petrov. And yet it was his first norm of MI. Tom Decuignière, by winning the last 3 rounds, also won his first norm of MI, and finished 3rd. A great performance at 2466, which will undoubtedly encourage invitations to other tournaments. Our 2 Clichois Natacha Benmesbah and Stéphane Sorbe played well, but do not achieve a standard. The award ceremony gave us the opportunity to present our brand new poster for the future Clichy Festival, with an open endowed with €5,000 on July 3, 2022. Thank you to all the players for their participation, to our two referees Pierre Lapeyre and Bruno Adeline, and to our "Twitchers" Axel Delorme, Matthieu Smith, Alexandre Segers, Fabien Libiszewski, Hervé Daurelle. A big thank you to our partners the City of Clichy, the department of Heuts-de-Seine, the IDF League, whose president Thomas Lemoine launched the last round, and AlphaEchecs and the Kasparov Foundation. Here is the final table of results. Thank you for the photos to Natacha Benmesbah and Pierre Lapeyre
