The likeable Chamat continued his terrific World Championship form this summer in Taipei as he reached the semi-finals beating Souquet, Gallego, Schober and Manalo along the way. Following quarter final spots in 2001 and 2003, it seems to be a tournament made for Chamat. The Swede's form coming into the Worlds was good - he won the Austrian Open in June against a huge field of the very best players in Europe. Perhaps the crowning moment in Chamat's career to date was his role in Europe's famous Mosconi Cup victory at the York Hall in December 02. For four days he represented the spirit of Europe and his joy in victory was palpable. Chamat will definitely be up for the Masters and in his resurgent vein of form, he will be dangerous.
