Hardworking organiser, trainer and referee Ants had a moment of happy rest.

The players have taken their seats already, waiting the tournament to begin. The first day the tournament was played indoor, but it was more fun to play outdoor, so later games were played outdoor.
You can recognize Tunnet and Aivo from Renjuclass on that photo.

There were renju players from Finland in our camp, too. The man on the photo is Lauri. The photo was made during the first tournament while we were still indoor.

Time for goodbye - Ando and Ants together with Lauri and Jussi in the harbor. A short time later our Finland friends went on the ship, going back to Finland.
On the photo: Lauri, Ants, Jussi. Ando is behind the camera, taking the photos as usually.

Maris (a strong Estonian renju player and the co-editor of Renju World magazine) also visited our camp shortly during daytime. She must have finished her game fast and is now talking to Ants.
-
On the photo: Marko from Finland playing renju with Maris. A tough game.

Jussi (Morden in Renjuclass, from Finland) is focusing on his tournament game. He became stronger and and stronger with every tournament. In the last tournament he got the 4th place!

Jussi versus Aivo, the tournament game. The time control was 15 minutes for the whole game. Kristian is observing the game.

Ants is setting up the tournament in the backyard of our camp house. A very quiet moment of the day. You can also see Andry, Rauni and Tunnet there.
-
Since everybody was still in the camp even on Thursday, therefore we had to make the Renjuclass lesson directly from the camp. We combined the notebook and the GPRS phone connection,
and succeeded to make a very special lesson. There were people both online and in real beside the teacher. It was fun to combine the real and virtual members.
-
Another photo of the Renjuclass lesson. Rauni is the one who made these two photos, that is why he is absent from the photo.

-
The answer is: Japanese Meijin Makoto Yamaguchi tops the Fuji mountain.
-
It was a very equal battle between two teams. Claire made a very powerful 13th move in the game that amazed Mr Yamaguchi, and latter promised to use that move in his future tournament games. On the photo: Nara, Okabe, Yamaguchi, Ando. Claire is taking the photo.

Cyrano was wearing a Russian hat that he bought in his last trip to Podyuga, Russia.

We are about to walk to the top of the mountain that is behind us. The weather is good and we are happy and optimistic.

Another photo from the same place.

We have reached to the top of the mountain. The faces look a bit tired, but very happy. We took a short break there before we went to find a good place for our picnic.
-
Another photo from the same place.
-
The nice grass was so inviting - we enjoyed a moment of sitting down there and making a photo.
-
Finally we found this nice table on the second peak of the mountain. We settled down there - started to play renju and eat our food. finite555 and bobo were playing renju game using the same color stones. They had to use their memory and imagination to distinguish which stones are black and which are white.
-
Another photo from the same place.
-
Suddenly the fog raised above the peak of the mountain we were having picnic at. Therefore, we moved back to the sunny peak with the grass and continued our games.
-
We are looking at bobo's game, trying to find the most beautiful win for white.
