How the Pairs Championship Was Won

After the second session, the amateurs Willem jan Maas and Hedwig van Glabbeek from The Hague (Netherlands) were leading the field. In yesterday's Bulletin, we already published some funny stories about the way they got some of their good scores, but all of a sudden, their leisurely approach to this Championship had turned into a serious affair.

So our more or less distinguished Messrs Editors had no option but to start their investigations about the final session at the table where the leaders were enjoying the stability of a N/S position. Their first board turned out not to be too decisive in view of what was ahead of us.
