The two faces of table One

On Wednesday night, the table 1 match was effectively decided in the Open Room, where most of the interesting positions and situations arose. The Swiss-French team Zimmermann, consisting of players who mostly come from the Geneva area, was playing the English team Roberts. Halfway through the match, the Alpine team was leading 26-0 mainly due to the three swing boards below.

Right on the first board, Elisabeth Delor took the save before anyone got the chance to suggest her to do so.
