The Poland-hosted European Team Championship is over, and it is good time for a short statistical review. When it comes to the open section there were 38 teams present out of 56 E.C.U. members, on par with 2009 and 2011 editions, and three under record of 41 from Debrecen, Hungary in 1992. None of 10 European micro-nations arrived (Luxembourg, Faroe Islands, Liechtenstein, Andorra, San Marino, Malta, Cyprus, Monaco, Guernsey and Jersey) as they were set for 4th Small Nations tournament in Monte Carlo. Yet there were some prominent chess nations missing too: Bosnia and Herzegovina (Nikolic, Predojevic), Latvia (Shirov!), Moldova (Bologan), Slovakia who suffer deep structural crisis (Ftacnik, Stohl), Portugal, Estonia, Albania, Ireland. Most of the absentees suffered serious financial constraints and were unable to get enough funds for completing the team.

There were even less teams in the women's section. With 32 teams in the pool the counter may reach its 21st century peak, but it is still far from Debrecen 1992 record of thirty-eight. The following six federations did not send women's team: Sweden (!!), Denmark (!), Scotland, Wales, Montenegro, FYROM. No nation was represented solely by women's selection.



Teams in orange participated in both open and women's competition,
teams in yellow took part only in open event, teams in white were absent in Warsaw.
Note! Northern Ireland (in grey) are not member of E.C.U.
