Event organiser Georgios Dimakeas said “the big bet was whether the tournament would start”, because of the uncertainty around COVID-19.
“Despite some objections, the event was held with all the necessary measures according to the health protocol to be followed in every detail – masks , antiseptic on every table, cleaning of all tables after every round, temperature checks on all participants.
Concerns by some players resulted in dramatically reduced participant numbers.
“But I am proud for all of them because they showed the maximum respect to the sport,”Georgios said.
“”It was a very quiet & competitive tournament as well. I hope for better days for our sport.
