Germany are Champions!

Germany: Meier and Naiditsch
After a highly-competitive event, with the 'Open' Championship living up to its name, it's tenth seed Germany who became the 2011 European Team Champions. In the last round they won against Armenia (Meier beat Movsesian) and this was just what they required to keep ahead of the pack. I can't recall any recent team events where the lead has changed hands so often! In the Women's event, Russia led from start to finish with Poland earning Silver and Georgia obtaining bronze.
