Spingold Day 7 - the winners are ?
With my 0 for 2 predictions yesterday, I will pick a team and you can expect the other one to win.
Welland vs Weed-Cayne. Weed-Cayne is up by +23 at the half, puts in Lauria-Versace and Fantoni-Nunes to seal the deal, and gets nailed in the second half for 34-75. That's 75 IMPs over 32 boards given up by the Italians, a whole bunch due to their unforced errors, but that 75 includes 9 IMPs for a penalty of walking out of the room unescorted and talking with a non-playing teammate - I don't know who did this.
Meltzer vs Gromov - Gromov gives up 136 IMPs, but Meltzer, who was playing well, gives up 148, including 104 on the first 32 boards.
Today's final:
Gromov (136, 97, 115, 112, 137)
Welland (95, 141, 120, 117, 168)
Gromov dropped more IMPs in the last match, but they were protecting a big lead.
We have:
4/4/4 Gromov-Dubinin
4/4/4 Balicki-Zmudzinski
against
4/4/3 Welland-Glubok
4/4/3 Garner-Weinstein
3/4/5 Cohen-Smith
I think this match hinges on Cohen-Smith against Gromov-Dubinin. If the cards work for being careful, then Cohen-Smith has the advantage, while if the cards work for bidding, then Gromov-Dubinin pick up the IMPs and the trophy.
My pick will be Gromov.
In the Swiss, who is coaching this team: Bob Hamman, Zia Mahmood, Richard Freeman, Eric Kokish and Melih Ozdil?
