Actually there were 101 boards in match between Estonia and Finland with score 45.5 - 55.5 but official matches has always been maximum in 100 boards, so Estonia lost 45.5 - 54.5.
It was historical moment because Estonia had never been lost to Finland before. Tournament was held in Helsinki (Finland) and home city or place is one of the important factors in those matches. In some point of few it was even good that Finland won, so hopefully in future there will be more interest and fight between neighbours...
