The two contenders, Russia-Turkey and Americas, were playing against each other and the winner of the match would get the third place.

This meant Team Americas has secured the third place with 4 points, one point short of Team Asia who played the tournament without rest day only to finish one day earlier than others. In the other match of the day the champions, Team Europe, beat Africa 3,5-2,5 to finish the tournament with a perfect score.African players put up a good fight again and came close to getting their first point but it wasn’t meant to be in the end.
