Tom Wiley is the club champion 2014-2015

The 2014-2015 club championship, played again as a 9-round rapid tournament under the organisation of tournament director Jesper Abrahamsen, was again a great success, attracting 35 players. It ended with a convincing victory of Tom Wiley. Having lost the title in 2014 just in a play-off against Georgi Tomov, Tom won back the trophy with a fabulous score of 8/9, being the only player to stay unbeaten in the championship. One full point behind Pere Moles Palleja finished 2^nd, losing only to Tom and Georgi. Tim Binham came 3^rd with 6.5 points, followed by 4 players with 6 points: Frank Hoffmeister, Christophe Keller, defending champion Georgi Tomov and Martin Müller, who started with 1/4, but recovered in style with 5 wins in a row.

Even though they are not in the Top Ten, special mention should be made of some players that clearly performed higher than their rating, e.g. Luis Busquets (5/9, including draws against Tom and Tim!), Vladimir Dedobbeleer (4.5/9), who started with two wins against stronger players, and Ventsislav Petrov (4.5/9).
