To be honest I did not expect to win this year&#8217;s German impressioning games, simply because the lack of training and some of my German friends seemed very motivated to bring the title back to Germany. And Oliver Diederichsen did just that: in a record time of four minutes and twenty three seconds he managed to open the Abus C83 lock. Quite an achievement and very well done!<\/p>\n<p>For me personally the games ended in pure drama. I lost my title in the worst possible way: without opening my lock at all!<\/p>\n<p>A very strange experience as in the last year I barely ever had to use a second key, let alone a third one to open a lock (even when working under pressure).  But hey, you can not win them all, and it is a good motivation to start serious practicing for the &#8216;Hacking At Random&#8217; impressioning games later this year &#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>I must say I am very happy Oliver won the games. Instead of keeping the watch I offered to the winner he decided to turn it into a challenge trophy that will change hands from game to game. Every time someone wins a game his or hers name will be engraved in a plaque that holds the watch. The winner has to safeguard the trophy and bring it to the next challenge. A great idea and a display of true sportsmanship!<\/p>\n<p>Here the rest of the scores of the German Impressioning 2009 games:<\/p>\n<p>1. Platz\tOliver Diederichsen \t04:23\tSSDeV\/Spg.
