As the match story indicates, Inchauspe-Amulet had little chance to win. Three days earlier they won a 67 point match in the semi-finals of this tournament. The day before they played a marathon 50-48 Monday at the Garat match against each other (see under the recurring 50 point match Main Nue results on the right side of the page), a match that took an hour and 50 minutes. So, counting the 66 points of this final, they played 231 points in 4 days.
