Only 360 people attended the 42nd European Go Congress in Mamaia, a hot holiday resort on the Black Sea adjacent to Constantza,
with no air conditioning and the occasional mad dog that attacked some players.
Winner of the main event was Lee Hyuk, the Korean from Moscow, who scored 10/10. On 8/10 were Robert Mateescu (Romania)
who is the European Champion now and Franz-Josef Dickhut (Germany). Next placed on 7/10 were Sumikura, Gerlach, Khmyrov and Jannsen.
The Weekend event was also won by Lee Hyuk on tie-break from Sumikura Yasuyuki. 205 took part.
There was no Pair Go tournament in 1998.
