6S by E     All Pass
Aydin opened 1C, three-plus cards, and the 2S 
response showed 9-11 with five-plus spades and
four-plus hearts. 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.

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.
