nt|ritong: en six segments de 16|pg||
nt|phicro: le score tient compte d'un carry over positif de 16 points pour les Françaises|pg||
nt|kareno: We had plenty of excitement yesterday with these two teams.|pg||
nt|kareno: Ahhh.. more LONG suits :)|pg||
mb|1D|mb|2C|nt|kit: this might not be so dull if they get to slam|pg||
mb|2H|mb|p|mb|3H|mb|p|nt|3for3: Not a great slam, by any stretch of the imagination|pg||
nt|kit: no, but it got better after the overcall|pg||
mb|4D!|mb|p|nt|ritong: chez les seniors les français ont bien démarré et refait un carryover negatif de 14 imps|pg||
nt|ritong: avec les interêts|pg||
nt|avivs: I doubt North will cooporate and South doesn't have enough to go past 4@h|pg||
mb|4H|nt|phicro: bonne entame d'Est qui a compris que sa partenaire était courte à Pique|pg||
nt|ritong: après la victoire sur les blacks, le vent souffle dans la bonne direction pour nos equipes|pg||
nt|3for3: Cope should hate his hand|pg||
mb|p|nt|3for3: with qx of clubs|pg||
nt|kareno: And it will likely go down.|pg||
nt|kit: in 6@H, if declarer could get that club ruff in dummy he would wind up with a show-up squeeze on West -- but he can't|pg||
nt|Walddk2: But if they get there, the overcall may have given away the show re @DQ|pg||
nt|kit: I don't think the queen of diamonds would have much effect on Whether East would have overcalled or not|pg||
nt|3for3: if they play hearts, just down on a club ruff|pg||
nt|kareno: Not really - he shows A of hearts and K 7 times in clubs.. what more do you need for an overcall?|pg||
nt|fann4: No, especially when E turns up with 7@C.|pg||
nt|kit: right -- 6@H will be down quickly|pg||
mb|p|mb|p|nt|avivs: 61d might be a better slam if he can get trumps right|pg||
pc|c4|nt|kareno: So a good stop for SA|pg||
nt|reisig: are these the real comments?|pg||
nt|Walddk2: The South Africans have judged very well so far in this match|pg||
nt|kareno: Are you a real commentator?  @h Richie|pg||
nt|reisig: @h|pg||
nt|kit: hi Richie|pg||
nt|kareno: Kit :)|pg||
nt|reisig: hiua Kit :)|pg||

nt|Walddk2: IT's safe to cash @SK first|pg||
nt|kit: he had 10 top tricks|pg||
nt|kareno: Then that was the play.|pg||
mb|p|mb|p|mb|1S|nt|phicro: On va sans doute jouer 1@h en Eo, maintenant|pg||
nt|kit: South Africans got a little carried away with their distribution in closed room|pg||
mb|1N|nt|fann4: This is interesting. Can NS make 3NT?|pg||
nt|kit: It still pays to have some high cards|pg||
nt|avivs: I'm sure he would have given it more thought if he was in 5 or 6|pg||
mb|p|nt|kareno: I see.  |pg||
mb|3N|mb|4H|nt|ritong: oui, cheri bjerkan devrait eviter un reveil tendu|pg||
nt|kareno: No one doubled at least.|pg||
nt|kit: but they will win some IMPs, since they bid good 3NT, and now will double 4@H|pg||
nt|3for3: Bocchi Duboin passed throughout...rare to see them shut out like that|pg||
nt|Walddk2: But they will surely double in this room|pg||
mb|d|nt|phicro: Et voilà|pg||
mb|p|nt|ritong: sa partenaire ayant passé au depart, les chances de manche sont trop minces et ne compensent pas une penalité possible|pg||
nt|kit: It shows the importance of getting in there with that 1NT overcall and not being afraid|pg||
mb|p|mb|p|nt|reisig: won't be 3 down|pg||
nt|kit: North has very difficult lead problem here|pg||
nt|kareno: Heart leads give up a heart trick but get it back in spades.|pg||
nt|Walddk2: 3 down seems a bit much|pg||
nt|3for3: Especially hard to double when the opener is 3rd seat favorable|pg||
nt|3for3: The 1nt overcall, that is|pg||
nt|fann4: Though vul opp a passed partner, 1NT looks ok, with those @S|pg||
nt|kareno: To me it looks like a normal 1NT overcall.|pg||
pc|cA|nt|phicro: D'autant que le meilleur contrat de son camp sera souvent 1@h|pg||
nt|ritong: oui|pg||
nt|phicro: Je pense que Bénédicte devrait parvenir à sept levées, une fois la fumée dissipée|pg||
nt|kit: Cope find a winning opening lead, for sure|pg||
pc|c2|pc|c3|pc|cT|pg||
nt|fann4: GIB says 1 down, double dummy of course.|pg||
nt|kareno: If he was going to pick an ace, he picked the right one.  |pg||
pc|c4|pc|c6|pc|cK|pc|cQ|pg||
nt|phicro: Il faut qu'elle ne se trompe pas à @h|pg||
nt|kit: I must admit I have no idea why he picked a club rather than a diamond|pg||
nt|kareno: Will he shift to hearts now?  South will I guess.|pg||
pc|c8|nt|kit: tapping declarer looks very logical here|pg||
nt|kareno: Nope.  Permanent paralysis of the trump-leading finger by n/s|pg||
pc|h7|pc|cJ|pc|c9|pg||
pc|sT|nt|fann4: Is tapping any good when declarer is 6-5|pg||
pc|s2|pc|s7|pc|sA|pg||
pc|h6|nt|phicro: Les Françaises ont perdu 2 points sur la donne précédente quand Pollack, avec les cartes de Sylvie Willard, a passé sur l'intervention de sa partenaire|pg||

pc|hA|pc|h3|nt|ritong: ecco|pg||

pc|s6|nt|Walddk2: You would not expect anything less by Versace of course|pg||

nt|kareno: Double?|pg||
nt|3for3: this could be trouble|pg||
nt|kit: North has a pretty hefty hand opposite an opening bid|pg||
nt|fann4: Tougher now, with both E and W bidding.|pg||
nt|kit: North might just double 2@D now!|pg||
nt|3for3: AKA is nice, but no spade spots, no fit for partner...|pg||
nt|Walddk2: How about taking the money?|pg||
nt|avivs: especially since they are Vul...|pg||
nt|kareno: That seems like the most logical action.|pg||
nt|kit: and it could be a lot of money Roland|pg||
nt|Walddk2: double must be for penalties, only one unbid suit|pg||
mb|p|nt|kareno: Well, cooperative at least?|pg||
nt|kit: South would likely sit even if not for penalties|pg||

pc|h2|nt|kareno: That's how I play it, Danny|pg||
pc|h3|nt|kit: I couldn't imagine selling out on the North hand even opposite a light opener|pg||

pc|hK|pc|h5|pg||
nt|kareno: I'm surprised north passed - he has a lot of values just to give up.|pg||

pc|cQ|pc|c2|pg||

nt|kit: and it looks like they may well get all their tricks|pg||
nt|kareno: Yes.|pg||
pc|h6|nt|Walddk2: I am not sure this is the right strategy against Italy. You can't play "safe" over 48 boards|pg||
pc|h7|pc|hA|pc|hQ|pg||
pc|c3|nt|phicro: L'entame de la Dame de @c avait pour objet de garder la main si l'intervention était commandée par AS-ROi|pg||

nt|Walddk1: http://tinyurl.com/368frj  for Venice Cup system cards|pg||
nt|phicro: La défense à 6@h est assez coûteuse, à cause du mauvais partage des @s|pg||

mb|p|mb|1S|mb|p|mb|2C|nt|ritong: curieux|pg||
nt|ritong: nord semble avoir un passe solide et est 4@d a dire|pg||

mb|p|mb|p|nt|kit: 2@C quite a conservative call on the West hand I think|pg||

nt|3for3: So, I see there is squeeze to hold 5@D to down one, but it can be broken up by 3 rounds of hearts...|pg||
mb|d|nt|mgchat: pas celle ci en tout cas|pg||
nt|ritong: j aime bien  ouvrir quand j ai le contrat en main|pg||

mb|p|nt|phicro: D'un autre côté, si Nord avait passé, déclarer la manche n'aurait pas été si facile...|pg||

mb|p|nt|ritong: disons que béné, tout a l heure, avec 6 @cs maitres et @s V10xx avait une ouverture plus pure selon ce critère|pg||
nt|kit: After high spade lead, East needs to shift to hearts -- he will probably do that|pg||
pc|hK|nt|phicro: oui, birn sûr|pg||
nt|phicro: bien, pardon|pg||
pc|h6|nt|kit: And West has to overtake and play a third heart|pg||
pc|h2|pc|h5|pg||
pc|sA|nt|juan lukas: le probleme de passer avec la main de N c'est que sa main est assez puissante face a un fit @c ou @h et que si elle n'ouvre pas il faudra sans doute se manifester ensuite .... ...|pg||
nt|juan lukas: intervenir a @c ds le V 6eme n'est pas plus excitant que d'ouvrir 1@c non ? |pg||
pc|s6|nt|kit: Now East must cash a spade and play a heart|pg||
pc|sT|pc|s4|pg||

nt|granguru: In fact Defence is undervaluated..you work hard on system and less on defending methods...you play twice as much defending than playing dummy|pg||

nt|vugraphs2: duboin took some time before chosing between Q or 9 of @s|pg||
nt|kareno: West did not bid and if he had AQ xxxx in spades and diamond ace he would have.|pg||
nt|granguru: zar points is a evaluation theory which states - between other things - when to open a hand. Rule of 20 is a subset.|pg||

nt|vugraphs1: North ask if West had 3@c|pg||
nt|Walddk2: The official website has a different scoreline. I believe ours is correct and that a result has been entered incorrectly into Bridgemate|pg||

mb|p|mb|p|mb|1H|mb|1S|nt|mgchat: de quoi ouvrez vous ?|pg||

mb|p|mb|p|nt|phicro: Car je ne crois pas que son adversaire ait l'outrecuidance de poser l'As de @d sur la table|pg||

nt|kareno: I had a few last night.  Mea Culpa!|pg||
nt|kit: This 4@C call was quite a shot in the dark|pg||
nt|fann4: Forget that, 4C is fine.|pg||
nt|kareno: Opposite a third-seat opening bid I think I would give up with the south hand.|pg||
nt|kareno: He's fine, though.|pg||
nt|kit: But it looks like he will survive with favorable club layout|pg||
nt|kit: worse -- was opposite an overcall|pg||
pc|hA|nt|ritong: car ouest ne peut pas surcouper le troisieme @s|pg||
nt|3for3: He may survive, but it seems like an incredible riske for comparatively little gain....|pg||
nt|kareno: Oh, definitely worse - no indication his partner would have opened the bidding!|pg||
nt|kareno: He got lucky.|pg||
nt|3for3: both contracts need to make to show a real profit|pg||
nt|kit: declarer will play club to 9, then another club finesse -- percentage play|pg||
pc|h7|nt|juan lukas: 6@c semble la bonne dose non ? on peut encaisser l'A @c et si le R ne vient pas encaisser 3 tours de @s pour defausser le @h pendant que le flanc coupe du R d'atout |pg||

nt|phicro: eh non|pg||
nt|mgchat: double partielle|pg||
nt|ritong: en effet|pg||
nt|kit: Apparently this pair bypasses 4-card spade suit on balanced hand rebid|pg||
nt|vugraphs1: 1NT= maybe 4@s|pg||
nt|3for3: Sensibly|pg||
nt|avivs: probably playing Walsh|pg||
nt|kit: West had very ugly lead problem|pg||
nt|fann4: Walsh automatic here.|pg||
nt|kit: extremely unattractive diamond holding to lead from|pg||
nt|kit: maybe queen of hearts is best -- who knows|pg||
nt|3for3: even more unattractive when partner holds merely the 83@D|pg||
nt|kit: if declarer leads a spade to the 9, which he might well, he will be off to a good start|pg||
nt|kareno: In any event this helps declarer to three diamond tricks whichever way he goes.  Spade ten guess is important.|pg||
pc|d9|pc|d3|pc|d4|pg||
nt|kit: seems right to play low from dummy -- can always finesse 9 later|pg||
nt|kit: but he was right |pg||

nt|avivs: for spectators: Walsh is a style of bidding when opener rebid 1NT with all balanced hands with or without a biddable 4 card major so when he does rebid 1@h/1@s he promises an ...|pg||
nt|avivs: unbalanced hand|pg||
nt|kit: so he will have 3 diamonds, 2 clubs, and 1 heart for starters -- will he find a 7th trick?|pg||
nt|3for3: usually 5@C or 4441 perhaps|pg||
nt|kareno: It's all about the ten of spades I think, Kit.  |pg||
nt|kit: Defense can take 1 diamond, 2 clubs, 2 spade and 1 heart -- that is also 6 tricks|pg||
nt|kareno: The defense can't really attack hearts.|pg||
nt|kareno: If they do, declarer gets an extra trick|pg||
nt|kit: defense doesn't need to -- West has safe diamond play to set up a trick and force a discard from South|pg||
pc|cA|pg||
pc|d7|pc|d2|pc|d8|pc|dJ|pg||
nt|kit: Now West will duck club, and declarer will be stuck on board|pg||

pc|c2|pc|c4|pc|c7|nt|phicro: Elle assure son contrat en mettant le Valet|pg||
pc|c3|pg||
nt|kit: south doesn't know which way to play spades anyway -- what is wrong with from the dummy?|pg||
nt|kareno: So now - two rounds of diamonds?|pg||
nt|kit: I think he will try jack of spades|pg||
nt|kit: not a success, but that looks logical to me from what he can see|pg||
nt|kareno: It's amazing how these little hands can be so tough to play/defend.  With the resources so evenly divided..|pg||
pc|s9|nt|phicro: Sauf @s 4-1 impossibles après l'entame|pg||
pc|s6|nt|kit: East likely to have 4 spades if anybody does, so jack is most effective|pg||
pc|s2|pc|sT|pg||
nt|fann4: 1NT was played by N in the CR, on a @H lead, and was very well played by N.|pg||

nt|phicro: Ouf, retour...|pg||
pc|cQ|pc|c6|pc|c2|nt|juan lukas: d'un autre coté quand le partenaire dit 4@c et ne nomme pas le controle @s , vu de la main de Béné , on ne voit pas comment le controle @d pourrait manquer |pg||
nt|kareno: Fortunately declarer has other business before he plays on hearts.|pg||
pc|cK|pg||
nt|ritong: c est exact|pg||
nt|ritong: au pire peut on craindre un roi de @d traversable|pg||
nt|kit: West doesn't know where 10 of diamonds is, so he will probably lead queen of diamonds|pg||
nt|kit: his partner led a relatively high diamond, but might have done so from 10xxx.|pg||
nt|kareno: The five is sort of high - could it be fourth?|pg||
nt|avivs: well the lead was a second highest 5... so maybe will read it correctly|pg||
nt|ritong: 10765|pg||
nt|kareno: And would he lead the five from that holding?|pg||
nt|avivs: I would lead the 7 from that holding playing 4th/2nd|pg||
nt|ritong: that is more difficult to establish:-)|pg||
nt|avivs: a @c seams safe|pg||
nt|3for3: T543?|pg||
nt|passell: club back will make him guess the hearts later|pg||
pc|c3|pc|cJ|pc|c8|nt|kareno: A spec says they don't lead from T432 :)|pg||
pc|c5|pg||
nt|kareno: Or don't lead fourth in any case.|pg||
nt|kit: Versace decided not to play his partner for the 10 -- he was right|pg||
pc|s7|pc|s4|nt|kit: but declarer still has enough tricks it seems|pg||
pc|sJ|nt|ritong: au mieux, c est sur table|pg||
nt|kit: although if versace ducks a couple of spades .....|pg||
pc|sA|pg||
nt|passell: oops|pg||
pc|c7|nt|kareno: So, the right ace knocked out and west is on lead again.|pg||
nt|avivs: is there a "wrong" ace to knock out?|pg||
nt|kit: even if Versace had ducked a couple of spades, declarer would eventually have made with the jack of hearts coming down|pg||
pc|dT|nt|passell: a couple of spade ducks would have forced a heart guess|pg||
nt|kit: declarer planning on taking later diamond finesse|pg||
nt|kit: Although from the defense, one might deduce that West has the queen of diamonds -- surely he would have returned a diamond if he didn't.|pg||
nt|kit: Anyway, declarer will now go after hearts, and probably make 11 tricks|pg||
nt|3for3: just keeping the suit unblocked in case west gets ended later...much later|pg||
nt|3for3: probably 10 at most|pg||
pc|s2|pc|cT|pg||

mb|1C|nt|cpt_hook: dangerous 6 club here ith spade lead|pg||
mb|p|mb|2C|an|relay|nt|kareno: If they reach 4@s on this one they will make despite the bad break but 6 I think is just too high.|pg||
mb|p|mb|2D|mb|p|mb|2H|an|relay|mb|p|mb|2N|an|12-14 bal|mb|p|nt|kareno: Yes, 6@c or 6NT but not 6@s.  Let's see what happens here.|pg||
nt|cicus: 3@D surely meaning something|pg||
nt|dinos1: 6@c is easy with @c2-2|pg||
nt|dinos1: guess it shows @c))|pg||
nt|cpt_hook: now  6 club make|pg||
mb|3C|an|stayman|mb|p|mb|3H|an| |nt|cicus: even with a club to lose you have chances to bring in spades without loss|pg||
nt|dinos1: and 6@c is right-sided)|pg||
nt|kareno: Clubs is definitely the right contract.  |pg||
mb|p|nt|cicus: 2@s = @c, 3@d = 5@c, I am told|pg||
mb|3N|mb|p|nt|kareno: Actually with 5/5 I open 1@c but I don't know the implications of those auctions for the Italians.|pg||
nt|kareno: We have a report that Fantunes is in 4@s only on 26, the 6@c hand with the singleton club.|pg||
nt|dinos1: brd 26 - Italy bid only 4@s|pg||
nt|cpt_hook: they know the situation of the suits , so 6 club seems more obvious|pg||
nt|granguru: Against Kaplan theory who said 5/5 blacks should be always opened with 1@S|pg||
mb|p|nt|kareno: I adored Edgar - we were friends for over thirty years - but we didn't agree on all theory :)|pg||
nt|cicus: Italy will have to work hard to regain ground|pg||
mb|p|nt|vugraphs2: bocchi is thinking over 4@s|pg||
nt|dinos1: after 1@c-1N u have no rebid w/ black 5-5)|pg||
nt|cicus: 3@S showed club fit, spec says|pg||
nt|kareno: Depending the quality of the spades I can certainly bid them.  That is the single inconvenient auction.|pg||
nt|vugraphs2: actually bocchi is maybe not thinking : north has left the table|pg||
nt|vugraphs2: he's back|pg||
nt|kareno: We knew a Mafia guy in NYC - he played with a friend of mine and on one hand the auction went 1@c - 1NT and Victor said, "In my yout' I killed guys for less dan dat"|pg||
pc|c4|pc|cQ|nt|granguru: jajaja|pg||

pc|sA|pg||
pc|cK|nt|dinos1: sure @c - 9-card fit|pg||
pc|cJ|nt|kareno: It's a big question whether this whole auction is in support of spades.  Seems like it.|pg||
nt|dinos1: wow|pg||
nt|kareno: Bosenberg will definitely NOT double.|pg||
nt|cicus: surprise - so trumps were the agreed suit after all?|pg||
pc|c6|pc|cA|pg||
nt|cicus: spades :)|pg||
pc|hK|nt|kareno: 6NT still available to bid but.. spades were agreed all the way.|pg||
nt|cicus: this is still a make isn't it?|pg||
nt|cpt_hook: strange that bocchi decide to set spades knowing 5 club in front|pg||

nt|Walddk2: On behalf of BBO, Hervé Lustman has been instrumental in training operators and setting up a magnificent show. Hervé is getting married on Jan 11, poor soul|pg||
nt|ritong: well, he considers it worth a try|pg||
nt|kit: AQ of hearts, KQ of clubs, A of diamonds he needs to gin a slam -- too much to expect|pg||
nt|passell: maybe only kxxxx of clubs|pg||
nt|fann4: Is this KCard or something else?|pg||
mb|5D|mb|p|mb|5H|mb|p|mb|p|mb|5S|mb|d|mb|p|mb|p|nt|dinos1: ))|pg||
mb|p|nt|kareno: So a push board Five over five once they've had a chance to evaluate?  Hmmm.|pg||
nt|kit: big error by Cope -- 5@H was going down except for an impossibly double-dummy line of play|pg||
nt|granguru: 5@H was made by Brazil with a @D lead|pg||
nt|avivs: I think East meant it as 2 places to play and west might have taken it diferently|pg||
nt|kareno: Listen, specs, to posthumous advice from the great Paul Heitner:  "The five-level belongs to the opponents!"|pg||
nt|kareno: This is a costly mistake.|pg||
nt|fann4: Perhaps an initial 4@D by North, showing the 2 suiter? |pg||

pc|h5|pc|h4|pc|h8|pg||
nt|fann4: A spec says 4NT was Turbo. But what did it show?|pg||

pc|d8|pc|d4|pc|d3|nt|kareno: After the opponents have evaluated and passed you just let them play the 5-level.  They have to be exactly right - five MUST make and six not make.|pg||
