Ondrej Šilt won in Bled

The traditional Slovenian Open, 19th Memorial of Lado Omejc, which was held from 20th to 22nd April 2007 in Hotel Astoria in Bled, was won by Ondrej Šilt 6d (Czech Republic), who was undefeated after all six rounds of the tournament. Second place went to Pal Balogh 6d (Hungary), who had five wins; Radek Nechanicky 6d (Czech Republic) followed with four. Best woman player was Rita Pocsai 4d (Hungary), who finished sixth.

The tournament was also the last event in the European Cup 2006-2007 (the latter was won by Pal Balogh: eleven points that he got for second place pushed him to the top of the overall standings) and landed rather strong field of players: out of twenty dan-level participants, a half were 4d or stronger. However, the biggest surprise of this year was the performance of Torsten Bringmann 1k, who won all of his games (and probably also his shodan promotion) and finished in the 12th place.
