nt|frajerzyna: to jest gra!1|pg||
nt|cicus: 2@H here?|pg||
nt|hedyg: 4@h is possible if E doesnt play @D|pg||
mb|p|nt|rayhaa: island leder med 13 VP så Danmark trenger en stor seier for å nærme seg før suste kamp|pg||
nt|petergill: Miner were seeded 7th of the 8 teams, partly becasue Bi had so few Seeding Points. |pg||
mb|2S|nt|Walddk2: Sidste kamp på rama bliver Norge - Sverige|pg||
nt|skjaeran: God forhåndsstamp mot 3NT.|pg||
nt|Walddk2: Men husk på at Island mangler Færøerne|pg||
nt|Walddk2: Favoritdræberne denne gang|pg||
nt|Walddk2: Der røg 3NT for NS|pg||
nt|skjaeran: Hvis Færøyene banker Sverige nå og Finland slår Island, blir det ren finale i siste runde!|pg||
nt|pelu: svært modspil mod 5@C - Vest må ikke trække @HE|pg||
nt|Walddk2: Mon ikke NS bør tage pengene mod 4@H?|pg||
nt|pelu: man gør ikke altid det som man bør :)|pg||
nt|skjaeran: Tre bet med fire runder ruter ut.|pg||
nt|pelu: svært for Syd af 'nøjes' med at doble|pg||
nt|Walddk4: A systemic 1@H opening by South in the other room|pg||
nt|Walddk4: So EW never got in|pg||
mb|p|nt|flash: E-W are big clubbers|pg||
nt|3for3: East with a million losers will do well stay out of game here, 5 card support and 10 count notwithstanding|pg||
mb|3S|nt|rayhaa: hvordan stoppe i 4NT?  |pg||
nt|skjaeran: Trygg 500 i banken det.|pg||
nt|nagini: Kaziu zakochaj sie:)|pg||
nt|3for3: And partly because the seeding points were wrong :)|pg||
nt|petergill: The Miner team is Carole Miner - Cynthis Balderson, Peggy Kaplan - Melody Bi, Cindy Bernstein - Sally Wheeler. |pg||
nt|hedyg: good spots in @s allow a discard of 1@d on 8@s|pg||
nt|cicus: well spotted, Hedy, the @S8 will be high|pg||
mb|p|nt|frajerzyna: dla mojej kolezanki z druzyny Grazyny Brewiak Omer to brydzowe guru|pg||
nt|frajerzyna: wiêc o tym rozdaniu jeszcze mi opowie kilka razy na bank:)|pg||
nt|nagini: kazdy ma swojego gryza co go mola:)|pg||
nt|petergill: Cynthia|pg||
mb|4S|nt|petergill: 2@C Drury|pg||
nt|3for3: She goes by Cindy|pg||
nt|bjacobs: Well, East had his chance|pg||
nt|hedyg: but only if S bids the @hs:)|pg||
nt|hedyg: as a passed hand maybe he could done so over 2@c|pg||
mb|p|nt|flash: Jenny Wolpert is on the keyboard tonight|pg||
nt|cicus: maybe N should have X-ed 3@C|pg||
mb|p|nt|bjacobs: a better judged auction in this room|pg||
nt|nagini: mola co go gryza:)|pg||
nt|cicus: T/O|pg||
nt|cicus: now he is in a difficult position, shall he bid 4?|pg||
nt|hedyg: after @c lead and continuation must be careful how he plays the @hs!|pg||
nt|cicus: he may feel he has extras, which he has|pg||
nt|hedyg: else there is a promotion of the 10@H|pg||
nt|hedyg: needs to play @h from dummy|pg||
nt|cicus: yes, even 3@H requires careful play|pg||
mb|p|nt|bjacobs: Good defence should beat this contract|pg||
nt|3for3: Kaplan thought her hand too good for a 2@S signoff, and I guess no red suit appealed to her|pg||
nt|bjacobs: Passing that hand in third seat looks so wrong to me|pg||
pc|c2|nt|pelu: hovsa|pg||
nt|Walddk2: ups|pg||
nt|Walddk2: Den kan man godt trække @HE mod|pg||
nt|3for3: 5 seemingly unavoidable losers|pg||
nt|Walddk4: Indeed, I guess most people would open that hand|pg||

mb|d|nt|3for3: spectacular result at the other table on 18, 3nt made, doubled, for 12 big IMP's for Miner|pg||
nt|3for3: This looks like a normal 3nt....no spade stopper, but they split 4-4|pg||
nt|loganrun: How high will each side get in the majors?|pg||
nt|loganrun: 4S seems practical from North|pg||
mb|2D|nt|3for3: 2@D probably some range of club raise|pg||
mb|4H|mb|5D|mb|d|nt|3for3: If they get scientific, might end in 5 of a minor...|pg||
nt|3for3: which needs the heart finesse as well as gentle breaks in the minors....Not working today though|pg||
mb|p|mb|p|mb|p|pc|cK|nt|3for3: They judged correctly for 4 of a minor...but alas the more normal 3nt will come rolling in|pg||
nt|brolucius: West is no doubt glad that her name is not displayed, after making a take-out double on that hand!|pg||
nt|flash: it's close to a perfect Bramley X  :)    |pg||
mc|9|nt|flash: and, perhaps given the score, likely NOT to be duplicated at the other table?|pg||

nt|lechcold: i tak Ci nie powiem|pg||
nt|Walddk2: Jeg tror danskerne kommer i 3NT her, uden succes|pg||
nt|nagini: chyba ksiazke napisze:)|pg||
nt|flash: snuck through the @C for an overtrick?  |pg||
nt|flash: at the other table, they've stopped in 3@H on Board 2, so the lead will increase|pg||
nt|Vugraphu4: lynn Deas is playing lightning |pg||
nt|3for3: 550 was just a push on board 1.|pg||
nt|pitiful: well passing 1@h is a bit ugly|pg||
mb|1D|nt|pitiful: especially if opponents compete and partner bids 2@h thinking you have 3 card support|pg||
mb|p|nt|petergill: System Summary for NS is at http://usbf.org/index2.php?option=com_teamforms&task=display&pop=1&page=0&fid=231&pid=557 |pg||
mb|1N|nt|pelu: mange kan her 'invitere' i @C med 2@S - hvis Vest nu viser -tilpasning, så er 3 ut en god chance. Hvis Vest afviser, så spilles 3@C|pg||
nt|Walddk2: Ved ikke om de kan invitere med en 6-farve i minor|pg||
nt|skjaeran: Graversen kan fort melde 3NT rett inn.|pg||
nt|pelu: efter 2@S + accept spiller Steen og jeg med at 3 i ny farve = singleton: 2@S - 3@C (accept), 3@H = singleton|pg||
nt|rayhaa: 2@s - 2NT preferanse @d|pg||
nt|Vugraphu4: fast|pg||
nt|3for3: EW will end there way to 3nt|pg||
mb|p|mb|2D|nt|flash: :)   if the players are too quick and/or don't clearly show their cards, our operator will have a difficult time keeping up|pg||
nt|3for3: or 4@H, duh|pg||
mb|p|nt|cicus: quite conservative pass from N|pg||
mb|p|nt|flash: but we'll take what we can  :)|pg||
nt|3for3: that 8753 of @H looks like 3 :)|pg||
nt|petergill: Convention Card for EW is at http://usbf.org/docs/2008uswbc/acblcards/BiKaplan.jpg|pg||
nt|bjacobs: he probably shouldn't think it then|pg||
nt|hedyg: 4@S NS except if E discs Kx @d on @Hs|pg||
nt|hedyg: so 1@s is 4+|pg||
nt|cicus: he can't discard both|pg||
mb|2H|nt|fabsayc: i prefer a 2nt rebid|pg||
nt|lechcold: powiem za to, ¿e Kazio Omernik zwany popularnie cz³owiekiem z morza, to jeden z najbardziej nieortodoksyjnych graczy w Polsce|pg||
nt|skjaeran: Puppet Stayman|pg||
mb|p|nt|bjacobs: Agreed|pg||
nt|bjacobs: The seeds of confusion have been sown|pg||
nt|bjacobs: by the 1@S and 3@H bids|pg||
nt|lechcold: niezwykle groŸny, zw³aszcza na maksy|pg||
nt|jerym: i trzeba mieæ zdrowie by z Nim graæ:)|pg||
nt|skjaeran: Går ut fra at han nå viser 3-1 i major.|pg||
nt|3for3: 3@S?|pg||
mb|p|mb|3D|nt|flash: 2@C drury of some ilk; 2@H declines the invitation|pg||
nt|hedyg: he can, @s is played by N and he leads small @H through Q109|pg||
mb|p|nt|lechcold: tak, kask jest przydatny|pg||
mb|p|nt|Walddk2: Ja, 3@S er fragment|pg||
nt|skjaeran: 5@c er en OK utgang.|pg||
nt|Walddk2: Men det er meget hårdt at drive denne til 5-trinnet|pg||
nt|skjaeran: Henger bare på kløveren|pg||
nt|Walddk2: Og ingen trumfning|pg||
nt|pelu: en fair kontrakt - kræver @C 3-2 med damen i plads - mens 3ut kræver meget mere|pg||
nt|skjaeran: Hadde stått ved å bytte N-S sine hender.|pg||
nt|nagini: for English speakers  2 cl should be prec style|pg||
nt|pitiful: 3NT was pusht|pg||
nt|pitiful: pushy|pg||
nt|cicus: oh, I played it from the right side :)|pg||
mb|p|nt|flash: well, the operation was a success...   now as far as the patient goes...|pg||
nt|flash: down 80 after 1/3 of the match, the 1@H opener isn't that unexpected?|pg||
nt|petergill: Perhaps 3@S was a try for 3NT, in case partner had three card heart support. |pg||
nt|3for3: I guess they don't play support RDBL's|pg||
nt|petergill: The heart break means that East will be glad not to be doubled. |pg||
nt|3for3: mirror distribution means lots of losers|pg||
nt|petergill: I would expect -2. |pg||
nt|3for3: so does DF|pg||
pc|cK|nt|bjacobs: and they will reap their bitter (and slightly unlucky) reward|pg||
nt|rayhaa: står hvis lindqvist hopper på med @c A første gang  :)|pg||
nt|vugraph169: Clemmensen explains that partner has shown his full distribution|pg||
nt|skjaeran: Godt meldt av Graversen synes jeg. Tar med seg muligheten for 3NT, 4@S og 5@c.|pg||
nt|pelu: det er uheldigt, når spilfører viser sin fordeling - gør altid modspillet meget lettere - nu behøver man ikke at ofre kort på fordelingssignaler|pg||
pc|c8|nt|hedyg: :) clever!|pg||

nt|flash: 7 IMPs on Board 2|pg||
pc|h5|nt|petergill: Peggy's thoughts might be: If North really only has one heart, then South has four hearts, and South's T/O Dbl makes South likely to be 4441, this contract looks grim. |pg||
nt|3for3: it IS grim :)|pg||
nt|pitiful: maybe if declarer ducked the secong @c he would have been better placed|pg||
nt|pitiful: second|pg||
nt|bjacobs: He still seems quite well placed|pg||

nt|hedyg: its obvious to us because we see the cards|pg||

nt|cicus: and see one of your club tricks ruffed?|pg||

nt|Vugraphu1: If you have any questions about play on previous boards, please let me know|pg||

nt|brolucius: 1@H - 3@H (pre-emptive) would have a small chance of shutting out N-S from their spade game.|pg||
mb|1H|nt|kapitanski: 9 boards  to the  end  this   tournament|pg||
mb|p|mb|2H|mb|2S|nt|warrens: the nice thing about that defense it all it took was the spade nine from partner to beat the hand|pg||
nt|loganrun: Easy 3NT or an adventurous 6C on a non heart lead|pg||
mb|4H|nt|Vugraphu2: On Board 17 in the Closed Room, East was in 3@h and made it for 3 additional IMPs to Moss - we're trying to get the score entered into the movie so our running total score will be ...|pg||
nt|Vugraphu2: accurate, but haven't done so yet|pg||
nt|flash: again, Mancuso opts for a less aggressive call|pg||
mb|4S|mb|p|mb|p|nt|arno11: croatian ladies also bid to 6@H with @C K  singleton offside|pg||
mb|p|nt|Vugraphu2: All the scores from the CR are now in, so 57-28 is the current score (unconfirmed of course) in the match|pg||
pc|hK|nt|flash: this time, though, i find the 2@H call surprising|pg||
pc|hA|pc|h4|pc|h3|pg||
nt|loganrun: a lot of pairs play 3S here as looking for a minor suit slam over 2NT|pg||
nt|kapitanski: agressive  :)|pg||
nt|kapitanski: witout  @hs  lead ....chance to make|pg||
nt|arno11: interesting board|pg||
nt|kapitanski: but  its very  hard  i see|pg||
nt|flash: i'd think it would induce partner to misjudge the hand too frequently to be worth the minor pre-emptive value|pg||
nt|brolucius: I expect South would have stretched to 3@S over a pre-emptive raise to 3@H. Fairly safe with such a good suit, any risky to pass instead.|pg||
pc|s4|pc|s2|pc|sA|pc|sT|pg||
pc|sK|pc|h2|pc|s6|nt|vugraph153: Diklic from Croatia made 6@H|pg||
pc|s3|pg||
nt|flash: the boards have been relatively flat, pretty much throughout|pg||
pc|sQ|nt|brolucius: West might have bid 3@D instead of 4@H. The double red-suit fit means that E-W have a 300 sacrifice available.|pg||

pc|h6|pc|sJ|pc|s5|pg||

pc|h5|pc|h7|pc|s7|pg||
pc|d2|pc|dA|pc|dJ|nt|brolucius: The only hope is to play the same sort of 'good bridge' that your opponents have presumably been playing for the first part of the match.|pg||
pc|d6|pg||
nt|loganrun: East did keep his 4 spades apologies to him|pg||
nt|flash: this brings us to the halfway point of the set without much damage being inflicted in either direction|pg||
pc|hJ|pc|h9|pc|h8|nt|warrens: not a bad idea trying trumps on defense, but it was necessary to get clubs started sooner|pg||
nt|kapitanski: 5imps  for  Austrians|pg||

nt|flash: 122-83 in the other match; 3-1 this session|pg||
nt|brolucius: East might have risked a 1@S response (particularly if 1@H is limited by playing a 1@C system).|pg||
nt|brolucius: The best defence against such tactics is to play that a 2@S overcall by the fourth player is natural.|pg||
nt|brolucius: 'Break' was not much of a word to describe this delay. Perhaps there is a half-mile walk to the nearest place where you can light up. |pg||

mb|2N!|nt|3for3: 5332 in support of partner's 5 card suit is not as good as it looks|pg||
nt|loganrun: 4S is very aggressive in the other room|pg||
mb|3D|nt|3for3: of course if the k@C was in @D's....|pg||
nt|brolucius: On a diamond lead, I think they can make a gand slam.|pg||
nt|brolucius: No, perhaps not. I was thinking of a diamond-club squeeze.|pg||
mb|4D|nt|3for3: Good judgement not driving to game by Balderson|pg||
mb|p|nt|brolucius: West's 3@D is ********* (censored), particularly when vulnerable against not.|pg||
nt|brolucius: I don't agree with commentators who sometimes say 'It is the state of the match'. |pg||
nt|Vugraphu1: Kerri is thinking|pg||
nt|brolucius: Levitina has taken full advantage of the unwise (I am being polite, for a change) 3@D overcall. And they may now bid the small slam.|pg||
nt|brolucius: No way that Sanborn will keep out of a slam, after this start.|pg||
nt|brolucius: By applying the commentators' curse, I will no doubt cause her to sign off in game.|pg||
mb|5D|mb|p|nt|loganrun: Although from North it has chances|pg||
mb|5S|mb|p|nt|warrens: Balderson has devalued her 5-card support since it's 5332, but Miner has to go anyway|pg||
nt|3for3: right, she has some shape, and extra HCP's|pg||
nt|brolucius: If I had a co-commentator, I would leave it to him/her to explain the 5@D bid!|pg||
nt|reisig: Well ...this one can't :)|pg||
nt|brolucius: Ah, Richie is here. That's good.|pg||
nt|reisig: or bad :)|pg||
nt|Vugraphu1: Shawn asked about agreements to 4D.  Sanborn replied that she thought it was Exclusion Key Card|pg||
mb|p|nt|arno11: 2@S looks promising  austria could gain further Imps|pg||
mb|p|pc|c5|nt|brolucius: Exclusion keycard surely has to be a JUMP bid. Unimpressive bidding all round, on this particular board.|pg||
pc|c3|pc|cQ|nt|loganrun: Quite a lead|pg||
pc|cK|pg||
nt|vugraph153: rehi|pg||
nt|vugraph153: connection problems|pg||
nt|brolucius: In any case, would not 5@C be the right response with two key cards and the trump queen?|pg||
nt|reisig: yes|pg||
nt|Vugraphu1: Shawn asked Irina the same question, Irina replied "thought it was first round control"|pg||
nt|brolucius: It is, according to my fingers.|pg||
nt|Vugraphu1: Irina is now studying the dummy|pg||
nt|brolucius: She can pick up the trumps and ruff two hearts, finesse the @C10, but it seems that there is no way to avoid a club loser.|pg||
nt|reisig: there is ...but obscure|pg||
nt|brolucius: I could not see it. (You mean transferring the guard? I don't think that it works.)|pg||
nt|brolucius: ... or establishing the @D10?|pg||
nt|reisig: yup|pg||
pc|c4|nt|kapitanski: are  u  ok  now Andrea?  :)|pg||
nt|vugraph153: players went for a break for about 5-10 minutes|pg||
nt|vugraph153: they have time to spare|pg||
pc|c6|pc|cT|pc|s3|pg||
nt|loganrun: But partner wasn't on the same wavelength|pg||
pc|h5|pc|h6|pc|h8|nt|3for3: a heart shift might seem obvious looking at all 4 hands, but Sokolow is worried declarer might have AJx(x)|pg||
nt|warrens: well, these hands really fit poorly.  all East needed was a doubleton heart in dummy to have a chance|pg||
pc|hA|pg||

pc|c2|pc|c7|pc|cA|nt|3for3: True, poor minor honors, and overkill in the trump suit|pg||

nt|3for3: 5 of em|pg||
nt|3for3: I just counted|pg||
nt|Vugraphu2: Sorry - we're taking a short break, back in a moment or two.|pg||
nt|3for3: It has to fell good for Sokolow and Molson, going plus on so many hands with no cards|pg||
nt|3for3: but much of it is normal|pg||
nt|3for3: Winner of this match plays winner of Baker/Quinn to see who goes to Olympiad this October|pg||
nt|3for3: Baker off to a big lead early, they had a bye to the semifinals, and are well rested, while these other teams slugged it out in the RR|pg||
nt|3for3: It was touch and go for all teams except Moss, going into last round Moss had a lock...Miner knocked off Narisamham to make it to the KO's|pg||
nt|3for3: And, alas, Quinn beat Westheimer|pg||

nt|Walddk3: NS from Syria, EW from the United Arab Emirates. Not often we see players from those nations on BBO vugraph. Quite refreshing|pg||

nt|petergill: If North passes, and East balances, this could get interesting. |pg||
mb|p|nt|flash: i've asked some of our commentators from the Open Room of this match to move over here; we'll see who arrives  :)|pg||

nt|nagini: no teraz to sie inteligencja nadzieje na inteligencje:)|pg||
nt|3for3: too dangerous for east to balance|pg||
mb|p|nt|rcm: this should stop H lead|pg||
nt|petergill: 2@H should make, I think|pg||
nt|bjacobs: The Society for the Protection of Minors would not be convinced|pg||
nt|pitiful: being perverse I actually respond 1@s with 4+@c|pg||
nt|Walddk4: Oh yes, we protect diamonds|pg||
nt|hedyg: nice contract|pg||
nt|cicus: if it end here|pg||
nt|hedyg: no reason to bid on in N|pg||
nt|cicus: if N passes, the match is over|pg||
nt|hedyg: S didnt open 2NT he doesnt have 20+|pg||
nt|hedyg: surely limited to 18/19|pg||
nt|waso: yes but there r a lot of hands can win 6d|pg||
nt|cicus: can have singleton heart or Kx with 5 diamonds|pg||
nt|hedyg: none with @s values in S|pg||
nt|waso: i think he should bid 4d|pg||
nt|hedyg: hiiiiiiiii Walid:)|pg||
nt|cicus: I'd bid on with the N hand|pg||
mb|4S|nt|pelu: 15 IMP til Norge - 6ut-spillet - ikke @H ud - her fandt danskerne den fine 4-2 fir i spar og meldte 7@S -|pg||
nt|Walddk4: By letting it be 5+ (rarely 4, never 3)|pg||
nt|waso: i'll bid 4d  pd can sign off in 4nt|pg||
mb|p|nt|3for3: plus the opps are playing a suit where she might easily take 2 trump tricks|pg||
nt|3for3: can kaplan tell partner has 4 clubs, not 2?|pg||
nt|Vugraphu3: usdc/a|pg||
nt|3for3: so 6 was bad attitude|pg||
nt|Vugraphu3: i think so|pg||
nt|petergill: EW might make 3@C. If a balancing 2@S shows 4+ spades and a 4+ minor, as played by some people, then East, knowing partner has at most one heart, can balance more safely than ...|pg||
nt|petergill: people not playing that method. |pg||
nt|3for3: Thanks to Carlyn Steiner, our Vugraph operator|pg||
nt|flash: the first half of this set has been another run of very flat boards|pg||
nt|flash: not only is this not great viewing, but it's not what the trailing teams need nor want|pg||
mb|p|nt|rcm: just heard from 2 teammates, opened 1N with N|pg||

nt|petergill: Declarer has to take some care not to let the fourth spade be overruffed by @H8 - also needs to retain trump control. |pg||
pc|s4|nt|3for3: wisely attacking diamonds...|pg||
pc|s3|nt|nagini: trafi tego kazia|pg||
nt|petergill: This is good play by Tobi Sokolow - setting up diamond tricks before trump control is lost. |pg||
nt|petergill: North doesn't care if diamonds are ruffed by EW's trump tricks. |pg||
nt|3for3: as a general rule, when you can't claim your contract, look to set up side suits before drawing trumps...|pg||
pc|sJ|pc|s2|pg||

pc|c4|pc|dJ|pg||
nt|petergill: An educational hand of how to play bridge, this one. Having natural trump tricks, East did not seek ruffs. |pg||
nt|Walddk4: The club suit we lost 60 years ago anyway. It's beyond therapeutical reach as it is|pg||
nt|bjacobs: Now he certainly is|pg||

mb|4S|nt|Vugraphu2: Balderson asked about 2@s and I think Molson said hearts and a minor|pg||
mb|p|nt|3for3: Not that she should care|pg||
nt|Vugraphu2: And I believe that Sokolow wrote that 2NT was either asking for her minor or some sort of game try - I'm going to guess that 3@d showed diamonds and a minimum|pg||
mb|p|nt|reisig: seems 4@s is normal bid here|pg||
nt|brolucius: 1@S was not normal, though. I would double. |pg||
mb|p|pc|cA|pc|s2|nt|3for3: good guess, Jan :)|pg||

nt|loganrun: 4H looks natural enough here but the play is not straightforward|pg||
pc|d6|pc|dA|pc|d2|pg||
nt|warrens: she's playing Sokolow for having a solid hand for coming in vul and forcing the 3 level|pg||
nt|3for3: and the RDBL had to be some kind of positive noise|pg||

pc|d3|pc|dK|pc|d5|pc|h8|pg||
nt|warrens: with East having only one trump, this should make|pg||
nt|Vugraphu2: Tobi checking their System Summary Form for carding|pg||
pc|c2|nt|3for3: If esat had 2 trumps, perhaps a trump lead and continuation would cause problems|pg||
nt|3for3: I think declarer might have still managed, not sure|pg||

pc|h6|pg||
nt|rcm: lynn is a little shy of game force|pg||
nt|flash: after any 3 calls at the one-level, 2@C is a relay to 2@D to get out or start an invitational sequence; 2@D establishes a game force|pg||

pc|hQ|pc|h2|nt|pelu: Vest skal nu trumfe makkers @D-stik og skifte til @H|pg||
nt|skjaeran: Nybo-Davidsen meldte og vant 4@s på spill 9, 11 IMP tilbake til Norge.|pg||
pc|d4|pc|c2|pg||

pc|sT|pc|s3|nt|skjaeran: Da forsvant den fjerde beten.|pg||
pc|sA|nt|petergill: If spade finesse fails, 2@S goes down even if diamond finesse works, thus Peggy correctly (IMO) rejects spade hook. |pg||

nt|Vugraphu2: Miner: "Let's see if we can make one"|pg||

mb|p|nt|3for3: I prefer 2@S with North's hand, hoping to double for takeout later|pg||

mb|p|pc|hA|nt|3for3: Ax of @S's might be good enough for that suit|pg||
pc|h5|nt|3for3: It is always more flexible to bid suit first, double later..|pg||

pc|h4|nt|warrens: another potential pickup, but 4@S was pushed on the last hand|pg||
nt|warrens: 29 was opened 2@H at the other table, so West played it|pg||

nt|3for3: 12 big one's for Moss as Bernstein Wheeler conceded 500 versus +170 their way|pg||
pc|h4|nt|flash: for those watching the other match, we're back up, but seem to have lost all the results for this set|pg||
nt|rcm: south may pass 2N|pg||
nt|pitiful: close decision i would say|pg||
pc|h2|pg||
nt|Walddk4: 3NT would be unilateral. I like 3@H|pg||
nt|bjacobs: Yes - well done to West for his pushy bid (if it didn't work I would have called it undisciplined)|pg||
nt|flash: thoughts??|pg||
pc|dJ|nt|3for3: declarer could duck that, but then EW would be able to cash 5|pg||
nt|petergill: In real life, that play, called something like Deschapelles Coup (from Whist, pre-dates bridge's invention) will not happen. |pg||
pc|d2|nt|rcm: ah, playing transfers |pg||
nt|petergill: Passive diamond exit works best here. |pg||
pc|d3|nt|pelu: Var der fest i aftes på Rottneros?|pg||
nt|vugraph169: :)|pg||
nt|Walddk4: You can still get to 3NT when that is right |pg||
pc|dA|pg||
pc|c3|nt|petergill: the heart switch will set up declarer's 9th trick in either spades (or hearts or clubs if @SA is not taken). |pg||
nt|3for3: 3nt will likely fail, but 3@S would have made, so it is a good save|pg||
nt|petergill: Fortune favours the bold (who bid 3NT). |pg||
nt|petergill: Heart now, then @CK = imposslble to find?|pg||
nt|3for3: not needed is it?|pg||
nt|petergill: Nine tricks, unless EW find stunning defence. |pg||
nt|petergill: Sorry, I cannot count, declarer has only 8 tricks. |pg||
nt|bigtrain: yeah...  you know things bumping around inside your skull|pg||
pc|c8|nt|3for3: right|pg||
pc|cA|nt|pelu: Vi skal - det siger Roland - være flinke i vores kommentarer - det HAR vi været! :)|pg||
nt|3for3: uh oh...not now|pg||
nt|3for3: she will lose her ace of spades, permanently |pg||
pc|c2|pg||
nt|petergill: Heart was needed by East - @H9 turned out to be an unlucky card that West palyed. |pg||
pc|c5|nt|rcm: south shows at least 4-4|pg||
nt|3for3: 9@H was deceptive to the wrong side, alas|pg||
nt|petergill: West's @H9 (high card = don't play this suit back) backfired. A bit unlucky for EW.  |pg||
nt|flash: i'm an Xer - despite having seen a board yesterday where the overcall led to a big swing by getting to 4@S|pg||
pc|c9|nt|bigtrain: overcall or X?  :)|pg||
pc|cK|nt|flash: and the X buried the 5-3 @S fit|pg||
nt|flash: probably good enough to overcall and X next round|pg||
nt|bigtrain: i'm a big believer in overcall...  you can always make a subsequent TOX to fing the 4-4 later but this is your only opportunity to discover a 5-3|pg||
nt|flash: but that might be uncomfortable at the 3-level or higher|pg||
pc|s3|pg||
pc|s7|pc|sK|nt|petergill: Entries are still tangled. |pg||
pc|s4|nt|bigtrain: in addition, partner can make a snapdragon X (or responsive X) to show length in the other major in comp, thus (imo) generally, best to overcall|pg||
nt|flash: all quite true...|pg||
pc|s2|pg||
pc|sJ|pc|sQ|nt|bjacobs: Actually 3NT is not that easy a contract, although double dummy, I think it can make|pg||
pc|sA|nt|pitiful: this looks like it will make|pg||
pc|c6|pg||
pc|h7|nt|flash: 170 duly recorded on Board 13, so only 1 IMP away|pg||
nt|petergill: North will cash all but one diamond, then lead @HJ|pg||

nt|Walddk4: They finished last every time before this|pg||

pc|dQ|pc|dK|pg||

nt|vugraph153: 14 teams in open 6 in women|pg||
mb|p|mb|1N|nt|3for3: Sokolow will show her spades, which will really thrill molson|pg||
nt|brolucius: Well, any sound-thinking East-West pair would pay out 50 to get Board 14 off their card.|pg||
mb|p|nt|sybarra: or single suited bid to begin with |pg||
mb|2D!|nt|3for3: Don't like 2@C to show @S's...gives the opps all kinds of room to get in there|pg||
mb|p|nt|3for3: Most play system on over 2@C, but it appears EW do not|pg||
nt|Vugraphu2: I didn't see anyone alert 3@c but I was momentarily distracted by having to tell someone that kibitzers aren't allowed when we're on Vugraph, so might have missed|pg||
nt|3for3: balderson will likely shoot out 3nt|pg||
nt|3for3: which needs help from the defense|pg||
nt|brolucius: I expect it was East who bid 2@D, not North.|pg||
nt|brolucius: Yes, East showed five hearts with a transfer bid and then offered a choice of games.  |pg||
mb|2H|mb|p|mb|3N|nt|3for3: Like a low @S lead|pg||
mb|p|mb|4H|nt|sybarra: do you lead low from that suit? |pg||
nt|3for3: no|pg||
nt|sybarra: me either |pg||
nt|3for3: more importantly Sokolow did not|pg||

pc|h3|pc|h4|pc|hK|pc|h2|pg||

nt|rcm: 4S should have been set|pg||
nt|3for3: 2nt overcall? |pg||
nt|petergill: A fascinating hand involving all sorts of entry problems. And of course, misanlysis by me, the person who can't count. Sorry about that. |pg||
mb|1N|nt|flash: typical white vs red pre-empt?|pg||
nt|Vugraphu4: lots of explanation of 3C|pg||
nt|3for3: or perhaps 1nt :)|pg||
mb|p|mb|2D!|nt|rcm: S trick will go away on club lead|pg||
nt|Vugraphu3: forcing nt|pg||
nt|flash: next-to-last board now; re-start in 1 hour 10 minutes; hopefully without the technical problems|pg||
nt|bigtrain: and this 14 she upgrades  :)|pg||
mb|p|mb|3H|nt|petergill: Vul against not vul - one has to beware that this is the vulnerability where the opponents open light (as here) , making a 1NT overcall more attractive. |pg||
mb|p|nt|petergill: Danny - your 2NT - but delayed. |pg||
nt|3for3: right but partner is a passed hand, and the hand is a tad flawed for NT|pg||
mb|4C|an|alert|nt|3for3: I'd rather bid the 1st time, but you have to do something|pg||
nt|petergill: Godo points, Danny|pg||
nt|petergill: good|pg||
mb|p|nt|Vugraphu3: 2nt aleerted as to I think|pg||
nt|bigtrain: ok controls, couple of 10, and NOT 4-4M  :)|pg||
mb|4H|nt|petergill: 3@D looks likely to be the final contract. |pg||
nt|bigtrain: this should be quantitative|pg||
mb|p|nt|flash: :)   so another possible pick-up, but leading a @S from the West hand unlikely??|pg||
mb|p|nt|Vugraphu3: "2nt tends to be minors"|pg||
nt|petergill: Spade is the winning lead. |pg||
nt|3for3: Is there a 5th defensive trick?|pg||
nt|3for3: 2 aces, 2 ruffs...|pg||
nt|petergill: No. Spade lead to hold it to 110. |pg||
nt|3for3: oh, well a 20 point overtrick is not a big deal....unless you miss qualifying by 0.6 VP :(|pg||
nt|bigtrain: surprise3d she didn't choose to play 5@H|pg||
mb|p|pc|d3|nt|rcm: very unlikely|pg||

mb|p|nt|3for3: 6 IMPS back the other way, as NS in the CR tired another 4 of a major, this with less than spectacuar results|pg||

nt|3for3: Of course she might be expecting more defense from her partner|pg||
nt|brolucius: For most UK players, 2@H now would show a stronger hand. They would raise immediately to 2@H on the first round on a minimum hand with three-card heart support. Not a popular ...|pg||
nt|brolucius: method in the US, I realise.|pg||

mc|8|nt|reisig: if they lose by 1 IMP ..she'll be upset|pg||
nt|brolucius: You know her better than I do.|pg||
nt|brolucius: If they are playing 16-board sets (which is normal), I guess that concludes the entertainment. I use the term loosely, you will understand. The boards were not of the best.|pg||

mb|1N|nt|3for3: good ting :)|pg||
mb|p|nt|flash: big club; little diamond; natural calls|pg||
nt|flash: board 15 will be a push; same contract and lead|pg||
nt|flash: i'd think that West's hand is too undefined for East to take another call, but...|pg||
mb|2H|nt|Vugraphu3: tobi was considering the balance; she was in closet, not meoldy|pg||
mb|p|mb|3C|mb|p|nt|petergill: After trumps are drawn and heart queen loses to the ace, North's signals should help South work out which minor suit to play. |pg||
nt|3for3: declarer might emerge with 10 tricks, but game, even vulnerable, was a truly awful contract|pg||
nt|3for3: 3 top losers, plus problems in all 4 suits|pg||
nt|petergill: Thus if East were in 4@S, winning @SQ and an immediate heart to the queen and ace is the best play, to try to get a wrong exit by South.  |pg||
mb|3D|mb|p|nt|flash: 4-7 with 6 @Cs - well-defined, but unlikely to be very playable anywhere else...|pg||
mb|p|mb|p|pc|cQ|pc|cA|nt|flash: needed a shift there|pg||
nt|flash: @H now and will make|pg||
pc|c3|nt|petergill: If declarer picks @HJ, as she probably should, she will make 10 tricks.  |pg||
pc|c8|pg||
pc|h2|pc|h7|nt|flash: have i told you all how much i love leads from Jxx lately?|pg||
nt|3for3: going on 11 now|pg||

pc|cJ|pc|c4|nt|flash: if that unblock really happened, another @D will beat this|pg||
nt|flash: i'm skeptical...|pg||
nt|flash: think we'll see 110 claimed sooner, rather than later...|pg||
pc|c6|nt|flash: thnx again, all; see you in 20 or 35 minutes  :)|pg||
pc|d7|pg||
pc|dK|pc|d6|nt|petergill: Peggy Kaplan denied South a chance to discard on the third spade. Good technique. |pg||

pc|d3|pc|dA|pg||
pc|c5|nt|petergill: She thus got the club switch. |pg||
