Tom de Jong heeft de smaak weer te pakken. Afgelopen zaterdag won hij het jaarlijkse rapidtoernooi van De Rode Loper. Oudzuylenutrechter Tom wist een hele horde Keresianen op afstand te houden. Voor wie het niet meer weet: Tom de Jong is een van de weinige schakers die nog tegen alledrie de Polgarzussen heeft gespeeld.
Judith van Amerongen won groep 6 met grote overnacht: ze gaf slechts een halfje af aan Marcel Scholten. Leo Keijzer viel met een derde plaats nog net in de prijzen.
