The last tournament of the year is the hugely popular one-day Swiss Teams in the EBU’s Year End Congress in London. I normally play all four days (two pairs events preceding the teams) but this year I limply decided to take a longer Christmas break and was raring to go for the Teams. The first person I bumped into was my co-columnist Susanna, playing with the great Sally Brock, Frank To and Barry Myers. Seven matches were played in total and Susanna’s team won the first six to find themselves lying third with one match to go. The top five teams were very close going into the last match but Susanna’s team played a blinder to take the cup. Brilliantly done, guys.
One thing is certain: the more chances you give your opponents to go wrong, the more often they will oblige.
