Today was our easiest day on paper: we played some average and some low-ranked teams. Sadly, our opponents played quite decently and it didn’t go very well. We started with a small loss against Turkey (8.5 VPs), where both teams didn’t play well. Then we played two very inspired teams: first Hong Kong, against which we scored 6 VPs and then Singapore, who took all the right decisions to let us only get 6 Imps and 3.5 VPs. Fortunately, we finished with a huge victory against Slovenia (18.5 VPs), with some solid play. An average of 9 VPs for the day, which was not very satisfying. With three matches to go, we still have a 15VPs lead to the team placing 9th: it would now be very disappointing if we don’t make it to the quarter-final.
