Susan Lalic?
A more exotic/topical guess is Valentina Gunina

They had been third at Leon in 2001.
That was in the days of a squad of 3 with 2 to play.
The squad was Harriet, Jovanka and Susan Lalic, who scored 100%.

Adams on board 3!
Last happened when he was a teenager, I would surmise?

Board 3 in the Euro of 1992 (Short, Speelman, Adams, Nunn, Miles)
Board 3 also in the Manila Olympaid of 1992 (Short, Speelman, Adams, Nunn, Chandler, Hodgson)
Then board 2 in Euro 1997 (no tournament in between). I think board 1 or 2 ever since.
Board 2 also in the Moscow Olympiad of 1994

Is the list just in rating order, or will that be the board order?
