Day 7
Day 7
started with a disappointing smallish win against unfancied Bangladesh. We
picked up loads of scraps on the part-score boards but unfortunately two large
adverse swings kept our win to 14-6.
Bottom
team Morocco followed and the result didn’t disappoint! We were just a hair’s
breadth away from a maximum 20-0 win. A 1700 penalty after an an injudicious
vulnerable unusual 2NT call on - KQx K98xx J98xx certainly cheered up all the
kibitzers.
The last
match of day 7 was a tough one against in form Sweden. Upmark and Nystrom, in
particular, were on fire and a heavy loss resulted. This left us needing a
decent final day against China and USA2 (the later who had already failed to
qualify which boosted our hopes and expectations).
At the end
of day 7 we were in the final qualifying place.
