to Yang Ching-shun 11–8. Mosconi Cup Chamat represented Team Europe at the Mosconi Cup six times in (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005). Despite the American side dominating the event at this time, the European side that Chamat was in won in 2002 was referred to as "one of the best moments of [his] career", by team-mate Steve Davis. Through this period, Chamat secured 11 victories from 26 matches played at the event. After failing to regain his place on the team in 2006, Chamat continued to play professionally, however, he took over as non-playing captain for Europe at the Mosconi Cup at the 2015 event. Chamat captained the team to three victories at the 2015, 2016 and 2017 events. In his fourth event as captain, he saw a losing effort in 2018, the first USA victory since 2009. During the event, after Joshua Filler put Europe 3–0 ahead, he neglected to shake the hand of his opponent Dennis Hatch, which led to Hatch leaving the arena feeling aggrieved. Chamat, as captain, took Filler to one side to calm the player down. Filler later praised Chamat, saying: "He is the best captain." In total, Chamat has represented Europe at the event on ten occasions. Personal life Chamat was born 6 May 1975, in Borlänge, Sweden.
