It won it previously in 1937 and 1939 and this year's win is for the first time since regaining independence in 1990. In a case of "déjà vu", Lithuania had also defeated Latvia by one point in the final critical match in the 1939 championship. Sources: ELTA 5/09/03, 13/09/03, 14/9/03 BNS 14/09/03 |
