The best performance in the preliminary round was shown by the German Martin Horn . He won his group with the Excellent Average (GD) of 2,428.

The second round was the final destination for Martin Horn. In a hard-fought five-set match he was defeated by Belgian Jozef Philipoom after a 2-1 lead in the fifth set with 6:15. Eddy Merckx , who was best in the preliminary round in terms of match and game points, failed against the Dane Brian Knudsen. With Christian Rudolph , however, the second German participant made it into the quarter-finals. But here came the end for him against the Turk Tayfun Taşdemir . With Dick Jaspers and the player with the best average failed the tournament. In the semifinals there were surprisingly clear wins for Daniel Sánchez and Frédéric Caudron . The final then met the high expectations. Sanchez won in five sets. The last one at 15:13. It was the third three-band title for the Spaniard at an EM.
