1. Aggressiveness wins money, Swedes are primarily winning players, so they're aggressive.

2. NL has been played by europeans longer, so maybe different styles/literature/forums have evolved for scandanavians extolling merits of uber-lag. The advantage for swedes is they get to benefit from twoplustwo, understanding the philosophy upon which good americans operate, AND probably have their own forums discussing how to use that knowledge to take advantage of solid American TAGS.

3. Scandanavians tend to be calm people who rarely get flustered, very important temperment ironically for wild play. A lot of supernits are head cases, but avoid that being a factor by nut peddling.

There are a couple of related issues that I've wondered about. I don't have stats and this is just the way it's seemed to me:

1. Apart obviously from the US, players playing online seem predominantly to be from GB, Sweden and Finland. Why?

2. I really don't mean to be disrespectful or prejudiced, and apologise for my ignorance if I am being, but I have got the impression that Finnish players have more of a tendency to go maniac than those from other countries. Has anyone else noticed this?

Seriously I think our northern neighbors are the clear #2.

Because most of them are breast-fed.

It goes back to their Viking past. Kicking ass and taking what they want.
