In the next cycle (starting with 2013 Spingold) Norberto Bocchi and Agustin Madalawill play in the US Nationals with a new team:
from 
Russia Gromov-Dubinin and from 
Poland Buras-Narkiewicz.
Grzegorz Narkiewicz is a raising star of Polish bridge. Together with Krzysztof Buras he obtained excellent results in the Junior and Open categories, including the silver medal in Ostend European Championships 2010 and in Lille World Bridge Games 2013.
Norberto Bocchi describes him thus: “Grzeg and his partner Krzysztof Buras belong to the next generation of Polish bridge: under the guide of Cezary Balicki and Adam Żmudziński they improved until they became one of the best rated pairs on the international market. Grzeg is a very friendly and a nice guy, always happy to joke and smile. At the table he tends to get upset, especially with his partner: I think his best quality is his table presence”.
