Munich Open, 2010 Minesweeper World Championship
The first minesweeper competition in Germany will take place in Munich (Bavaria) on 9 October 2010. I will post more details here soon. So far the plan is to use the Clone for a sum of 5 Expert and 5 Intermediate games...Just the same as last year in Stirling. Munich is all but a small city. Besides lots of sights and museums Munich has also a lot of culture to offer. Do i have to mention the pubs and that i already have a bowling centre in mind?
