The final tally: Gromov 150, Rosenkranz 119. Gromov played with Aleksander Petrunin and Pol- ish champions Cezary Balicki and Adam Zmudzinski. Their opponents were Rosenkranz, Sam Lev, John Mohan and Polish champions Piotr Gawrys and Jacek Pszczola. The Vanderbilt was a replay of the Open Board-a- Match Teams at the 2000 Fall NABC in Birmingham where Gromov & Co. won the event – less than a board ahead of Rosenkranz, Lev, Mohan, Gawrys, Pszczola and Eddie Wold. This was the second North American champion- ship for the Russians and the third for the Poles, who won the Spingold in 1997. The Poles, both Grand Mas- ters in the World Bridge Federation, have an impres- sive record in international competition: first in the Transnational Teams in Bermuda in 2000, second in the World Team Olympiad in the Netherlands, also in Vanderbilt winners: Adam Zmudzinski, Andrew Gromov, Cezary Balicki and Aleksander Petrunin 2000, a second and a third in the Bermuda Bowl, a sec- ond in the Rosenblum Teams and a third in the World Open Pairs.
