Compared to 1994 the field lost two strong candidates for the first place. Both Ronald Schlemper and Catalin Taranu are presently residing in Japan. Schlemper works there as an internist and studies a new medical specialism. Taranu is living as a student professional in Nagoya and is doing very well (he turned into professional in 1997 and is now 2 dan). So, the favourites were Rob van Zeijst and Guo Juan. Being the 1994 finalists they qualified immediately for the 1995 edition. The other participants qualified by being the best European at one of the big GP Tournaments or by their three best GP results. The list was completed by some EGF invitations. For the pairing the official rating of the European Go Federation was used. The results were not surprising. Every game had the expected result according to the rating list. And thus the final was a rematch of the year before, with the same result.
