Remonte--XX Torneo de Azpeitia--October 4-25, 2019

XX. Azpeitiako Erremonte Txapelketa 2019

This tournament was contested by 6 pairs in two groups. (Letter adjacent to players refer to their Oriamendi Groups This was an Oriamendi2010 sponsored Tournament. It received no video coverage that I know of,  and even the press coverage was sparce. So, all we have, basically, are results of the tournaments. Barrenetxea IV, in the middle of a "purple patch", found himself drafted into the Tournament after a 1st match injury to Endika. He ended up winning, along with Aldabe. The final was by 40-39 over Goikoetxea V-Ion. It was probably a great match. We do have 31 photos from it.
