The second edition of the FLIP (Festival Ludique International de Parthenay) European Master took place on 19th July 2023 in the Mendes France Gymnasium, at Parthenay in France (Nouvelle Aquitaine Region).

More successful than its first edition with more registered players, it was played in a friendly atmosphere as it attracted most of the last year’s players but with the addition of newcomers.
Organised in a single day, to start with came the Chess game, followed by the Othello one, both played in the morning. After a break for lunch, players returned to their tables in the afternoon to compete on the Chequers game.
In all these competitions, pairs were formed through a draw.
The last game to play was Knights-Challenge, this one gathering 4 competitors round the boards, and the results often make the difference to give  the Master winner.
To end the day, a short rewards ceremonial helps to enliven the event with a touch of fun which fully contrasts with the seriousness of the tournament.
The EU Master Cup is given/ handed to the winner and some games to the best players. (See photos).
