Seventh Heaven for Italy

That Italy's record breaking run would continue was confirmed last night as they established an unassailable lead over the rest of the field to record their seventh successive victory in the 48th Prokom Software SA European Open Team Championship.

Congratulations to the team captained by Maria Teresa Lavazza, and coached by Massimo Ortensi, Norberto Bocchi, Giorgio Duboin, Claudio Nunes, Fulvio Fantoni, Alfredo Versace & Lorenzo Lauria, the latter taking his personal tally to seven, just three behind the legendary Giorgio Belladonna. (Did we say seven was the loneliest number?)

When chess legend Bobby Fischer won the US Championship with a perfect 11-0 score the runner-up Larry Evans was congratulated for winning the tournament and Fischer for winning the exhibition. We could be forgiven for making the same analogy here, so great is Italy's domination.
