There were quite little changes compared to 1974 and indeed Schweppes won easily, again. They beat last year runners-up C.I.D.A. (Bent Larsen was in a relatively weak form at top board - 5/9 - possibly he lost much concentration due to his wife's treatment) 2½-1½ in the opening round and then safely sailed to the winners' harbour. Unlike previous years C.I.D.A. did not make it to the podium - Terrassa beat them in the last round to pick bronze medals. Espanyol, led by IM Medina who scored top result on board 1 (6½/9) took silver. GM Pomar, top board for Unión Graciense, failed to procude a single game win this year. IM Bellón gave brilliant display for Schweppes - 8 wins and 1 draw. |
