mb|p|nt|aronov: For Bulgaria we have Karakolev-Danailov playing precision with 14-16 NT and UDCA carding |pg||
nt|vugraphec1: enjoy too see you for this last match of the day|pg||
mb|p|mb|1C|mb|d|mb|1S|nt|vdoubleu: Welcome to David Carlisle|pg||

nt|vugraphec1: yes|pg||
nt|jtr: 2NT 5-4-4-0|pg||
nt|jtr: as we can see|pg||
nt|aronov: This type of biding i don't like |pg||
mb|4S|mb|d|nt|aronov: But Bulgarians at the other table also play like this |pg||
nt|jtr: Funny, the 2NT rebid came up yesterday as well|pg||
nt|lesh: so N/S are in action so lets see the final contract - 3NT I suppose|pg||
mb|p|mb|p|mb|p|pc|h3|nt|jtr: They reached the best contract despite the system Victor:)|pg||
nt|aronov: I did't say system is bad |pg||
nt|garnetts: Hi all|pg||
nt|swanson: Hi|pg||
pc|h9|nt|aronov: I just hate to play it :) |pg||
nt|jtr: lol|pg||
nt|aronov: This has 9 top tricks |pg||
nt|aronov: 8 top and 9 in clubs |pg||
nt|vugraphec1: or in @d |pg||
nt|jtr: or @ss eventually|pg||
nt|aronov: When u have 100% line u shd play on it |pg||
nt|vugraphec1: can make 11|pg||
nt|vugraphec1: yes|pg||
nt|vugraphec1: thought h will play on @c|pg||
nt|lesh: he will duck the first one probably and then ensure his contract playing clubs|pg||
nt|vugraphec1: we will see|pg||
nt|aronov: He will take and play on diamonds |pg||
nt|vugraphec1: he is asking for the lead |pg||
nt|lesh: but as he can see by the lead @d is 3-3 so no problem|pg||
nt|aronov: lead is 2/4 polish style so he almost know 3-3 in diamonds |pg||
pc|hT|nt|jtr: Well, hopefully this slowness will mean we get results from the closed room|pg||
pc|h5|pg||
nt|swanson: Aggressive bidding by Tritt - his norm.|pg||
pc|hA|nt|jtr: he may just set up the @ds of course|pg||
nt|vugraphec1: w is thinking|pg||
nt|aronov: There is some risk but 2 overtricks are too much and he corectly play on diamonds|pg||
pc|h8|pc|h4|pc|hK|pg||
pc|cK|nt|cavendish: welcome, david & john|pg||
pc|c2|pc|c8|nt|jtr: soon be over now|pg||
pc|cA|pg||
nt|garnetts: I suppose that switch looked a good idea but it likely cost a trick|pg||
nt|garnetts: Could easily get the trumps wrong here--especially after the double|pg||
nt|swanson: Tritt wasn't looking at a lot of defensive tricks in his hand (approximately zero) but partner had shows a very good hand and he wanted no part of a 5@H call.|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Yes|pg||
nt|Vugraphu6: Just to explain how we're going to be doing this match, at least for this segment when I'm afraid we have only 3 Vugraph operators - I'll be doing this table live and the CR ...|pg||
nt|Vugraphu6: invisible, as I get bidding and results from there. With Alan Sontag at the other table they'll probably get ahead of this one so we'll have information about what happened there ...|pg||

mb|1S|nt|aronov: but i am little crazy  :) |pg||
nt|jtr: lol|pg||
mb|p|nt|aronov: 3 diamonds will be suit + fit |pg||
mb|2H|nt|vdoubleu: What will East bid after West's 2@h rebid?|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Oh, srry|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Did not realize East would bid 2@h directly:)|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Now they will get there.|pg||
nt|garnetts: I think that most oof us would bid 1NT these days|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Yes, playing in a 2/1 structure.|pg||
mb|p|nt|aronov: realy not good convantion for this board |pg||
nt|lesh: unfortunetely every bid by E would promise a support in spades|pg||
mb|4D!|nt|vdoubleu: 4@d?|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Yes|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Even 'tho East is a passed hand, few would have bid 2@h here.|pg||
mb|d|mb|p|nt|garnetts: I really prefer 3@C  unless 4@D is exclusion blackwood|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Did West not want to risk another Exclusion (5@d) accident?|pg||
mb|p|nt|vdoubleu: :)|pg||
mb|r|mb|p|mb|4H|mb|p|nt|garnetts: I have a discussion going as to why not bid 2@D  rather than 2@H  --any views ?|pg||
mb|6H|mb|p|nt|vdoubleu: Yes, yr longer suit.|pg||
mb|p|mb|p|nt|vdoubleu: Tritt takes the direct route:)|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Maybe 2@d would have been Drury here.|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: The double by North was helpful.|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Turned this hand into a 30-pt. deck.|pg||
pc|d5|nt|vdoubleu: Is that the lead here?|pg||
nt|garnetts: The play needs care if South ducks the first heart|pg||

pc|hQ|pc|h6|pc|h3|pc|h5|pg||

nt|vdoubleu: Yes, diamond 5 was led:)|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: He has to ruff a 2nd diamond|pg||
pc|s3|pc|sK|pc|s5|pg||
nt|lesh: in the other room West have also bidded 1@s so lets see what will be the contract there |pg||
pc|h4|nt|vdoubleu: Club Jack & Spade K first|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Will he make it now?|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: If Bramley wins Ace & plays another?|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Think not.|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Unless he takes ruffing spade finesse.|pg||
nt|bruceferg: he has to overtake club still down 1|pg||

nt|vdoubleu: Hi Bruce:)|pg||
nt|bruceferg: hi|pg||
pc|h8|pc|h9|pc|d9|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Bramley is giving this a lot of thought because he knows  Declarer does not have spade Q, & does not want to encourage him to take the winning line, ruffing out spade.|pg||

nt|me argent: playing 8@Ss in CR|pg||
mb|p|mb|1C!|nt|Vugraphu7: Woolsey-Stewart are very aggressive with their weak 2's. so having only one in 30 boards is WAY below average for them|pg||
nt|ckv: will probably pass and decide what to do when two spades comes back around|pg||
mb|p|nt|swanson: West will probably come in with 3@C, but double is not unreasonable.|pg||
mb|1N!|nt|me argent: everybody opens a weak 2 bid with that south hand  definitely not my cup of tea|pg||
nt|me argent: id rather open 1@S not even close|pg||
nt|Vugraphu7: If I remember right, Woolsey's P of 2@d x'd asks his partner to pass w/ 3 diamonds, RDBL with 2 and pull with 0-1|pg||
nt|swanson: 1@S is not my can of beer.|pg||
nt|me argent: :):)|pg||
nt|swanson: East has a heart bid coming - 3@H looks simple and sound.|pg||
nt|Vugraphu7: The ACBL defense may not cover what to do here - at any rate, they are using it (option 2) and Lynch is looking at it. |pg||
nt|Vugraphu7: Lynch just asked again about Woolsey's P, and he confirmed my memory of their methods|pg||
mb|p|mb|2C!|nt|swanson: This will probably close the auction.  A look of early action leading to the normal contract.|pg||
nt|chip: for one team|pg||
nt|swanson: Stewart's hand is a super maximum with their multi-style bidding, so I don't see Woolsey trying to do anything other than defeat 3@H.|pg||
nt|swanson: At least trying to defeat 3@H.|pg||
mb|p|mb|2S!|nt|chip: spade lead will beat 3H as EW can get a club ruff. club probably works too.|pg||
mb|p|nt|ckv: chip- are you a passer or a bidder after first multi|pg||
mb|3N|mb|p|mb|p|nt|chip: With West? close between DBL (13-15) and 3C.|pg||
