Two No Trump asked and 3S showed the sixth spades. after an exchange of cuebids Aydin checked on key cards and bid the small slam. Klukowski led a low diamond and, with no fast discard available to him, Tukmenez had no option but to run it. That passed off peacefully so he drew trumps in two rounds then played the king of clubs off the table and had 12 tricks for +1430. Jassem opened a three-way Polish Club, this time the strong artificial version, and his 2D rebid was an artificial game force. At his next turn he agreed spades and, after hearing two cuebids from Nowak, asked for key cards and bid the slam. Unalan too led a low diamond round to declarer’s ten. Nowak led a club at trick two and when Unalan ducked he had lost his ace; 13 tricks for +1460 and 1 IMP to Poland. The match ended in a 69-36 IMP win to Poland, 16.66-3.34 VPs. Sweden still had three boards to play and were ahead by 0.92 VPs. They would win the championship if they won their match by 49 or more IMPs, that is, did not concede more than 10 IMPs over those last three deals. On Board 18, Sweden picked up 4 IMPs to lead by 63, defeating 1NT by one trick in one room and 2S by one trick in the other. Board 19 was flat when the Swedish E/W pair went down one in 4S but Greece were also down in 3S. So it all came down to the last deal, with Sweden having a 14 IMP cushion. (mecz SZWECJA - GRECJA) Board 20. Dealer West. All Vul. 6S by W (sic!) All Pass The Swedish transfer responses to a potentially short club opening made West declarer. Ioannis Oikonomopoulos led a diamond and there was no winning guess. The slam was one down for –100, and was all going to be decided at the other table. If Greece could bid and make slam the title would go to Poland, if not, it would go to Sweden. 6S by E All Pass The natural auction saw East become declarer. They still, however, had to bid the slam, otherwise Sweden would survive by a single IMP. Katerina Kapayannides set trumps and, after cuebidding, asked for key cards then bid the slam. There was the usual diamond lead but it didn’t matter. Michalis Sofios had no trouble in coming to 12 tricks for +1430 and 17 IMPs to Greece. Sweden still won the match, by 75-29 IMPs, but that meant only 18.23 VPs, and it wasn’t quite enough. What an incredible finish, and if the king of diamonds had been in the other hand it would all have been so different, with Swedish joy and Polish tears, instead of the actual Polish joy and Swedish tears. Norway took bronze, while England finished fourth, Netherlands fifth and France sixth.
