  Tabanus: Chess-Results has http://www.chess-results.com/tnr245... but gives no crosstable for this event. Or I cannot find it.

Perhaps too much, even for them.

  Tabanus: Anyway, standings list updated for the 45 players with 17 points or more, see European Blitz Championships (2016).

There are many missing games (>500 players! - and not all in CG). Seven wrong game results found (supposed correct result in parentheses): S Orehek vs M Matlakov, 2016 (0-1), O Bortnyk vs M Luch, 2016 (1-0), Bologan vs N Vitiugov, 2016 (0-1), F Fargere vs A Pavlidis, 2016 (1/2), Z Kozul vs A Rakhmanov, 2016 (0-1), M Marin vs Z Kozul, 2016 (0-1) and Alexander Timerkhanov vs M Kobalia, 2016 (0-1). Slips sent on these.
