 |
| Hotel Eger & Park opens up its
doors to this year's WPC. The delegations are arriving
starting from the early morning. Welcome in Eger! |
|
Six+ P.M. The big
Conference Hall is almost ready for the Opening Ceremony and
Welcome Party. The Hall will be simultaneously the main place
for the Championship contests. |
|
The enigmatic paintings
on the walls add up to the puzzling spirit of the event. |

 |
| Tantrix - capturing the
participants' attention in the lobby. Trying to pave the
entire table with the tiles? But are they enough? |
|
The opposite site of the
lobby: playing?.. cheating?.. telling the fortunes? Or maybe
they simply didn't heard of Tantrix yet?.. |
|
The VIP WPC & WPF folks.
Preparing for puzzle matters' discussions and hard contests of
the next days. |

 |
| Happy participants from
India. Asia continent is continually growing its presence on
WPC's. |
|
Still in the lobby:
chatting, solving, smiling... Trying to pretend not to think
about the upcoming contests? |
|
Welcome Party. The main
organizer on behalf of the entire organizing committee is glad
to see everyone coming to Eger. Several jokes, twists, and
greetings - and all the delegations are warmed up. |

 |
| The Opening Ceremony at
Welcome Party. The incumbent WPF Chairman Vítezslav Koudelka opens the Event
in an Olympic-like style: Let the 14th WPC declare opened! |
|
Hungarian dances. One of
the of the Welcome Party's gems. |
|
Dances continue...
Warming up the participants even more. |
|

|
 |
|
|
| Time for the meal at the
Party. But what is that? Isn't it Sudoku served? Brain food?
Second course? Or maybe the first? |
|
The night Eger. An
optional individual walk in the hotel's vicinity after the
Party's substantial meal. The first WPC day is almost done. |
