The two European dominators met in round three as they scored 4/4 each until then. The top clash of the event went on for a 1-all tie. On day four Poland dropped a fraction vs Venezuela while Hungary steamrolled Argentina 2-0. The real horror happened on the last day. Poland won 2-0 and Anita Gara, the older sister, only managed to draw vs 2062 player from South Africa to let the championship slip from their hands since Poland took first place on a basis of second tie-break, that is number of points scored at top board! Venezuela beat Brazil "B" 2-0 on round five to take bronze, thus copying boys' team achievement. |
