We all arrived in Amsterdam safely and the Round Robin had begun on the Monday of the 22nd of March. The opening of the tournament was on the Sunday which was then followed by a pro-am pairs (for the sponsors and anyone that wants to play). The format of the Round Robin was 23 x 10 board rounds, in which the top four teams proceed into a semi-final knockout. After 18 rounds, Australia was running second on 329 VPs behind the Israeli leaders who are on a massive 355VPs. Running 3rd, 4th and 5th are France 1 (316VPs), France 2 (315VPs) and Netherlands Red (309VPs), respectively. Unfortunately our last three sets were not very promising we missed out on the cut-off as France 2 overtook us in the very last round. For the final results you can find it on http://www.nbbportal.nl/1003/ and click on [competition] then [Juniors White House 2010]. Despite the upset, we indeed managed to forewarn our competitors for the upcoming World Juniors in Philadelphia. The event overall was fantastic and we would like to thank everyone who has made this possible. I will write up an article about this very soon when I have the time. Until then, we hope you enjoyed the vugraph shows that we put up especially the night owls that stayed up for it =) Peace out!
