A little bit of history

The most recent tournament held in Poland was the 2024 Gdańsk Regional, played with the Regulation Set E in November 2023. The finals saw 2022 EUIC finalist Oliver Eskolin defeat 2018 EUIC Champion Simone Sanvito, who had won in Lille the previous month, to win his first Regional title in the Masters division!
