Hi!

The other day I stumbled upon the Merit Open youtube channel:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4_...Yw_vxVQ/videos

and to my surprise many matches were missing from Backgammon Studio! :-)

But the hunt for Merit Open matches is coming along nicely! I have received several matches from Giorgos Kleitsas, Volker Sonnabend, Gaz Owen, Florin Popa, Jacek Wojciechowski, davidprimo. A big thanks to everyone!

Michy vs Giorgos Kleitsas (I think Michy transcribed this one)

Akiko Yazawa - Jacek Wojciechowski

Bob Wachtel (US) R - Cüneyt Argun Genç (TR) B

Bob Wachtel - Máté Fehér 5pt Merit Open 2016.11.03 warmup R2

Zdenek Zizka - Máté Fehér 5pt Merit Open 2016.11.05 warmup R1

Jörgen Granstedt - Florin Popa

Athanasios Katsios (GREECE) B - Paul Gilbertson (UK) R

Athanasios Katsios (GRE) R - Thomas Löw (GER) B

Laura Monaco (ITA) (B) - Gaz Owen (ENG) (R)

GAZ OWEN (ENG) (R) - LEON DOREL (ROM) (B)

GAZ OWEN (ENG) (B) - LEON DOREL (ROM) (R)

GAZ OWEN (ENG) (R) - JAKOP GARAL (UKR) (B)

J.Simonsen (DEN) (B) - G.Owen (ENG) (R)

Thomas Kazemieh/Philip Kazemieh (Germany) B - Rainer Witt/Volker Sonnabend (Germany) R

Dario Bertola/Daniel Tudose R - Rainer Witt/Volker Sonnabend B

I have also started to transcribe some matches myself:

K. MITRELIS (GRE) (R) - C.LIEBE-HARKORT (GER) (B)

Rickard Persson (SE) (R) - Konrad Froschl (GER) (B)

Cüneyt Argun Genç (TR) B - Maya Peycheva (BG) R

Athanasios Katsios (GREECE) B - Paul Gilbertson (UK) R

Athanasios Katsios (GRE) R - Thomas Löw (GER) B

Now there are only 101 matches left to transcribe/locate! :-) If you have any of these matches or would like to transcribe some let me know! I suspect Mochy, Michy and Akiko matches have already been transcribed though (but it is a nice learning experience to transcribe matches so it is not a big loss if you transcribe a match which has already been transcribed).

I created a page for the currently missing matches: https://www.backgammonstudio.com/meritopenmissing.html

A better place to look for these is in the "other action/match videos" section on Backgammon Studio where you can assign matches to yourself and then later upload the match once you're done:
