mb|2C|nt|grebrof: "Toys R us"|pg||
mb|2H|nt|yorkbeach:  Hi Mike, any news on the ruling from the last set? Julian|pg||
nt|mamos: an aggressive t/o double from East |pg||
nt|mamos: as we would expect|pg||
mb|p|mb|p|nt|hlortz: here we had a pretty routine texas to 4@H|pg||
nt|odysseus69: North sure to come again|pg||
mb|p|nt|runnerup: this inv migth lead -to 4 @h -2 if they find ! ruff|pg||
nt|rmb1: NS will just see how many of their "winners" will cash|pg||
nt|westjava: good save in 5@D|pg||
nt|mug: correction direct from Aylesbury on that point, Barry's giving them time off to watch the match|pg||
nt|grebrof: mostly for kids, but someone never grow up - guilty|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: when playing @hQ Leenhardt played cQ instead of @hj|pg||
pc|cK|nt|yo_yo: Sally Brock's 2NT shows a good @S raise|pg||
nt|yo_yo: @H i mean|pg||
nt|yo_yo: with 4+ in @H|pg||
pc|cA|nt|hlortz: just overtricks at stake - time to get some tea :)|pg||
nt|mug: Heather might have reopened with a take-out double here|pg||
pc|c4|nt|szalay: hi all|pg||
pc|c8|pg||
nt|ritong: boyd estimates that his shape is more adapted to a suit contract|pg||
pc|h4|nt|yo_yo: this looks pretty difficult to me|pg||
nt|yo_yo: 2@S losers and can only afford 1 @C loser|pg||
nt|ahalim: can prubaly make on an endplay|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: run the @c 9 after eliminating @s and @d looks best|pg||
nt|yo_yo: can maybe eliminate @S and @D |pg||
nt|ahalim: yes that works|pg||
nt|yo_yo: in the other room Dhondy led J@C |pg||
nt|grebrof: Q of h!?|pg||
nt|grebrof: no|pg||
nt|ritong: he might even finesse @d 9, for the fun|pg||
pc|h7|nt|alnanda: 1S LOSSER DISCRAD WITH q@D|pg||
nt|mug: 2NT was minors, also fairly reasonable but swapping plus for minus|pg||
pc|hJ|nt|yo_yo: at some point in the game|pg||
nt|mamos: several specs ask about the ruling from the last set   does anyone onsite know the outcome|pg||
nt|odysseus69: Heather too busy but everyone bids more than me|pg||
nt|mug: lucky not to be bigger minus, both South and North might have got hold of 3@D|pg||
pc|h2|pg||
nt|don_kapu: what a brave bidding|pg||
nt|don_kapu: but 3nt look like will make|pg||

nt|ahalim: alas we shall never know|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: means running @c9 afterwards @cQ|pg||
mb|1H|nt|runnerup: makeable|pg||
nt|odysseus69: the double only cost 3 imps and was worth the possible psychological gain if it worked|pg||
nt|ritong: can t know what they have agreed about 4@h as opposed to 4Nt|pg||
mb|p|nt|yo_yo: why would you do that unless you see all the cards?|pg||

nt|runnerup: slam|pg||
nt|rmb1: I was wrong about adverse vulnerabilty silencing EW :)|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: because it is close between the precentages of an intrafinesse and leading towards the Q|pg||
nt|szalay: I doubt US could gain in this style|pg||
mb|p|mb|p|nt|runnerup: some misunderstanding perhaps|pg||
nt|westjava: :)|pg||
nt|hlortz: the 3@D response was constructive, with a bust he would have bid a lebensohl 2nt|pg||
nt|hlortz: dummy's trump are a bit disappointing but we can see that the aggressive style from usa2 has paid well --so far|pg||
nt|mug: good afternoon Jack|pg||
nt|szalay: 3@D is xfer, no doubt|pg||
nt|grebrof: for e 5@h is obvious - whoo has @s|pg||
pc|sK|nt|vugraphznx: no|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: 5 ruffs and 2 aces?|pg||
nt|rmb1: The first set will has shown that there will be a battle on every hand in this match, no chance to relax|pg||
nt|mug: E-W are playing strong notrump, 5-card majors|pg||
pc|s5|nt|vugraphznx: W just didn t open ;)|pg||
nt|runnerup: 3 @h seems strange but ..ok -it stopped this to game|pg||

nt|grebrof: trum lead?|pg||
pc|s7|nt|vugraphznx: it was alerted, so not strange :)|pg||

nt|runnerup: yes i see|pg||
nt|westjava: random from card generator?|pg||
pc|hJ|nt|odysseus69: both tables playing weak nt - common happening in England but not elsewhere|pg||
pc|hK|nt|szalay: generally better to play from STRONG side|pg||
nt|ritong: seems that 4@h was not void showing|pg||
pc|hA|nt|mug: 12-14 NT rebid and 2@C checkback Stayman|pg||
pc|h5|pg||
nt|odysseus69: if she doesnt rise will need to guess clubs but I expect Ace|pg||
nt|mug: Dhondy needs to rise ace here, I think she's likely to do that as she's cold if hearts divide|pg||
pc|s4|nt|barbyh: big red cheeks and black hair, thats about it|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  interesting the threshold that players set for a 2-level overcall these days|pg||
pc|s6|nt|runnerup: timing has not been best possible -when game is on you are in partial and wise versus|pg||
nt|mamos: presumably 2@c was a forcing enquiry|pg||
nt|mamos: defence have four tricks if they can organise |pg||
pc|sT|nt|lontoh 63: hi all|pg||
nt|mug: even low would have been ok, she'd have been forced into rising king at trick three|pg||
pc|s8|pg||
nt|mamos: 2@c Gazilli has been much in evidence in these championships|pg||
nt|szalay: he must play for @S later or (better) sooner|pg||
pc|sA|nt|vugraphznx: :)|pg||
pc|s9|nt|runnerup: i see -slam not so clear -but makes this time|pg||
pc|sJ|nt|yorkbeach:  with clubs 5-5, the @s trick is not running away|pg||
pc|c5|pg||
nt|ahalim: the indonesian players were once coaached by Kokish, that's why they play weak NT|pg||
nt|alnanda: @h blocked''|pg||
nt|ahalim: this has no change at all|pg||
nt|mamos: West hast to overtake and play @sQ to defeat I think|pg||
pc|s2|nt|alnanda: with no information, i think same result with other table, can't find Q@h|pg||

nt|westjava: we call it BMS (Bridge Masuk Sekolah = gridge goes to school)|pg||
nt|westjava: *bridge|pg||
nt|rmb1: South must have something for her double: so North could play a trump to @HA|pg||
nt|mug: but ace was correct, no reason for North to lead away from @DK on this bidding|pg||
pc|c4|nt|mamos: but the Club ruff might|pg||
pc|cK|nt|odysseus69: West has to hod her cards up and of course not fly with q of diamonds- oops|pg||

nt|odysseus69: 4H from West? |pg||
nt|ahalim: 6@S C turned back to 4@S + 2 |pg||
nt|szalay: btw 2nd trump by South instead of @C wd be stronger defence|pg||
mb|2D|nt|lontoh 63: this was black start from n/s|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: commentator please|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  yes tricky - because if North bids clubs strongly, NS are likely to finish in 5@c rather than 4@h|pg||
mb|2S|nt|mamos: in the OR the Indonesians played the first three tricks in the way needed to defeat  -- but then West continued Spades|pg||
mb|p|nt|lontoh 63: that|pg||
nt|mug: 3@H not exactly classical with four spades on the side, but what do you suggest?|pg||
mb|p|nt|szalay: practice 4@H|pg||
nt|ritong: this kind of hand generates a lot of accidents|pg||
mb|p|nt|runnerup: here normal handling in 1s lead to 12 tricks in @h (or nt ,but that is wrong contract)|pg||
nt|hlortz: well suit quality of weak 2's has gone down over the years|pg||
nt|wstuart: A common treatment is to play 4@S as a strong single suited hand after a weak 2 opening.|pg||
pc|c6|nt|hlortz: martel will likely buy it for 4@S -1|pg||
nt|wstuart: That looks likely.|pg||
nt|ritong: it is really good looking, for sure|pg||
nt|ritong: but the obvious danger is to drive too high|pg||
pc|c9|nt|runnerup: in @s|pg||
nt|don_kapu: and all pass for 2@S|pg||
nt|ahalim: only half an imp extra for England, which the program cannot show|pg||
pc|c7|nt|mug: an excellent bid of 3NT, some players would double but you don't really want to heart partner bid clubs, let alone diamonds|pg||
nt|odysseus69: ok for me but I bet that there will be some 4H bidders|pg||
nt|ahalim: ok turned back to 5@S +1|pg||
pc|c3|pg||
nt|lontoh 63: io so cape maklum lah ....... kondisi begini yang kuat stamina yang bisa main bagus ,tapi sama2 US juga pasti so cape |pg||
nt|ahalim: omg a 3-3 fit|pg||
nt|yo_yo: not always nice to play in a 3-3 fit |pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  if EW had bid and raised @d, East might lead the @d2 as suit preference|pg||
nt|ritong: so, as long as pard is not a passed hand|pg||
nt|ritong: my policy with these is to take low road|pg||
pc|h2|nt|mug: declarer should cash @CA at trick two, plain sailing from there|pg||
nt|ahalim: http://www.worldbridge1.org/tourn/Veldhoven.11/Microsite/RunningScores/ASP/knockoutphaseconditstatMultievColours.asp?qphase=SF&qtournid=886|pg||
pc|h4|nt|runnerup: partner opened and you had 19 hcp -may lead to slam|pg||
pc|hA|nt|vugraphznx: will have to put in the scores manually|pg||
nt|mamos: this looks like a more straightforward make|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  interesting choice by declarer in the @h suit|pg||
pc|h5|pg||
nt|wstuart: Not much to te play on this one I think.|pg||
nt|ahalim: for people who are interested in the score per session of this match|pg||
pc|h6|nt|vugraphznx: + 2?|pg||
nt|ritong: sticking to hcp|pg||
pc|h9|nt|runnerup: @d was missed by ew -but it can happen in many secvenses -|pg||
nt|yo_yo: happens a lot when 1NT forcing and west is forced to rebid longest minor|pg||
nt|mamos: easier for us of course because we know Spade honours onside|pg||
nt|blewah: hi Pak Arifin. is this the official score?|pg||
nt|mug: Smith made the maximum in the CR, so declarer has to pin the @S10 or manage some kind of endplay to flatten the board|pg||
nt|odysseus69: now should start spades from dummy or Ace and small spade|pg||
nt|mug: perhaps @DK next to guarantee the contract?|pg||
nt|odysseus69: yes Q of spades works but swop Ace of diamonds and spade king and a bad idea|pg||
nt|ritong: for once:)|pg||
pc|hK|nt|lontoh 63: don't know how many degree on there but though cold now|pg||
nt|mamos: but looks like making even if declarer loses a trump a Heart and a Club|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  trying to decipher the NS leads - presumably declarer knew the @hQ was offside|pg||
pc|hJ|pg||
pc|hQ|pc|h7|nt|vugraphznx: It's about 20 degrees Celsius in here :)|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: sry for the name of the match, I didnt do that|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: OR started twice, that was the problem|pg||
nt|alnanda: np paul.., thanks a lot :)|pg||
pc|d4|nt|lontoh 63: Thx Ruud ....|pg||
nt|odysseus69: that was ok too|pg||
pc|hT|pg||
pc|c2|nt|ritong: how do you like that, stevie?|pg||
pc|c4|nt|yo_yo: East might have bid 2@D though|pg||
pc|cA|nt|mamos: now presumably a @d and a trump up|pg||
pc|c8|pg||
nt|runnerup: all boards have been flat so far |pg||
nt|vugraphznx: 81-66 is the score|pg||
nt|yo_yo: would you have opened arifin?|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: 2 imps missing for Indonesia|pg||
nt|yo_yo: it's a bit weak for me to open|pg||
nt|ahalim: with West;s cards ? No|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  they seem to lead the 9 from Q-10-9 - zero or two higher leads|pg||
pc|cQ|nt|grebrof: I rarely seem my P open 2! with such week @h and no distribution - also - dbl with no tricks in trumps I have seen many disastres|pg||
pc|cT|pc|s8|nt|odysseus69: cant avoid heart ruff now - had to play 3rd heart before trumps|pg||
pc|sJ|pg||
pc|dK|nt|don_kapu: if @S win and return @H will make -1|pg||
nt|szalay: another imp for US|pg||
nt|szalay: sry, just push|pg||
pc|d7|nt|odysseus69: trump lead would have made life easier|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: EW can endplay the dummy|pg||
pc|c5|pc|d5|pg||
pc|dA|nt|grebrof: but ok - this time is 5@h|pg||
pc|cJ|pc|cK|nt|yorkbeach:  will be able to throw a @h on the 4th @d|pg||
pc|d6|pg||
pc|d9|pc|s2|nt|vugraphznx: E knows where the @c10 is|pg||

mb|2D|mb|p|mb|2S!|nt|mug: yes|pg||
mb|p|nt|mamos: the running scoreboard has England on 151 so it looks as if TD ruled against Indonesia in the last stanza|pg||

mb|p|nt|wstuart: RDBL shows the ace, I'm sure.|pg||

pc|h2|nt|yo_yo: Now West opens her 10 count and |pg||
nt|ritong: this @h 7 seems to come from blank suit|pg||
pc|h7|nt|runnerup: 3 @h could have and would have been -2 ,but not a place to pass for west -very difficult place |pg||
nt|vugraphznx: I think he will finesse in @d|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: :)|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: not really|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: S then must have had @hA|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: but it would create a 2nd entry to dummy|pg||
nt|westjava: will they reach to 6?|pg||
nt|hlortz: cue bids here...|pg||
pc|h4|pg||
nt|wstuart: 4@C is likely a control bid in that suit, however, it may show a min range in HCP;  they may play a serious 3NT which would show more HCP and then let opener continue the auction.|pg||
pc|hQ|nt|ahalim: evrybody starts bidding :)|pg||
nt|mamos: 11 seems a lot of tricks in OR|pg||
pc|h6|nt|ritong: when it s not a possible fourth best|pg||
nt|ritong: however, it can be a "forced" lead, so Q87 remains possible|pg||
pc|h5|pc|hA|pg||
nt|yo_yo: West will regret opening in a minute|pg||
nt|wstuart: 3@H was likely an ask for further description.|pg||

nt|westjava: ok:)|pg||
mb|p|nt|runnerup: 5 1c really makes ,but i doubt that they will bid less |pg||
nt|ahalim: slam time, this time not so difficult to bid|pg||
nt|don_kapu: 6@S or 6@H|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: she claimed for 9 tricks|pg||
nt|yo_yo: 5@C hinges on the guess in @D |pg||
nt|yo_yo: DEwi shows both majors|pg||
nt|yo_yo: 3@S do you think?|pg||
nt|mamos: there may of course be an appeal  we don't know but at present England lead by 11 more imps than is shown here|pg||
mb|p|nt|runnerup: 5 @c|pg||
nt|odysseus69: think she lost 2 hearts 1 spade and 1 club|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: i believe Stockdale said wrong card|pg||
nt|yo_yo: and nicola will bid  what|pg||
pc|hA|nt|odysseus69: once North flew with heart ace there was 9 tricks|pg||
nt|alnanda: lost 2@h, 1@s,1@c and ruff @d|pg||
nt|don_kapu: now the road to 6@H or 6@S is opened wide after a 4@D bidding|pg||
nt|yo_yo: X might indicate @H suit|pg||
pc|h4|nt|dgame: 7@d for -5|pg||

pc|sT|nt|alnanda: -6|pg||
nt|grebrof: french people are strange Henri - you always wear brown scarfs :D|pg||
pc|sK|nt|hlortz: e did not open in OR so 4@S escaped w/o X|pg||
nt|wstuart: -2 looks about right here.|pg||
nt|ritong: stayman followed with 2@s is an invite for them i think  north a bit short|pg||
pc|sA|nt|ahalim: only 6 down|pg||
pc|s8|pg||
nt|alnanda: for 1 imp :)|pg||
nt|don_kapu: maximum 6 down = 1400|pg||
nt|mug: very aggressive upgrade by Heather Dhondy, the five-card suit is good but the stiff A-K not so good|pg||
nt|mug: decent contract but the minors lie badly |pg||
nt|ritong: yes, and we have bread under our arm all the time|pg||

pc|s9|nt|ahalim: this bidding is truly worthclass level|pg||

nt|mamos: anyone's match|pg||
pc|c2|pc|c6|pg||

pc|dJ|pc|dA|nt|mug: I think a spade back might have been logical, to kill entries to dummy|pg||

mb|p|nt|ahalim: but who can argue with success Victor|pg||
nt|yo_yo: 2NT = a good raise|pg||
nt|blewah: 2nt mixed raise i think|pg||
nt|odysseus69: 3D - 1 or 2 4 card majors|pg||
nt|grebrof: yes, some think its important to have 5-3 in the majors for allowing opening 1nt, but I haven see the problem to frequent I actually consider it|pg||
mb|3D|nt|wstuart: A @D lead will beat it 2 by force, but that's going to be hard to do.|pg||

pc|s3|nt|ritong: mais...|pg||

nt|grebrof: another reason is that we are conventional over the transfer in Norway so we do sometimes miss a 5-3 fit in the other major - with a GF hand at the responders hand I do have the ...|pg||
nt|grebrof: perfect systtem for you  - lots of relays thou|pg||
nt|ritong: so, the contract looks bulletproof, so boyd tries to consider the worst which might happen|pg||

nt|mug: @SJ ducked then @SA and a spade|pg||
nt|mug: diamond ruffed, spade ruffed and @CJ pinning the @C9|pg||
nt|odysseus69: then diamond|pg||
nt|mug: does that work?|pg||
nt|mug: but North's out of diamonds|pg||
nt|dburn:  certainly jack of spades ducked, heart to the ten, diamond ruff, ace of spades, spade will work|pg||
nt|odysseus69: well spotted - missed by me- and being bombarded by better analysts|pg||
nt|dburn:  but I don't think anyone would play like that|pg||
nt|mug: that doesn't rely on doubleton @C9 but does need spade 3-3|pg||

mb|p|nt|lontoh 63: you are right almondo|pg||
nt|westjava: for sure, pls give a neutral comment pls...|pg||

pc|sQ|pc|s8|pc|h5|pc|c2|pg||
pc|sJ|nt|odysseus69: settled for 10 for push|pg||
pc|d4|nt|yorkbeach:  what happened on the ruling was that NS had a RKCB sequence. South showed 1 key card. North asked for the trump queen. South denied it but there was a hesitation involved. North then bid the slam.|pg||
pc|c5|nt|mamos: South held Jxxx|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  so had to judge whether that was as good as the Q|pg||

mb|d|nt|don_kapu: 1@S opening by S and may N reapond with 2@H|pg||
nt|westjava: and flat board again, don?|pg||
nt|ahalim: N trying to steal the @S;s|pg||
nt|dburn:  this is a good result for Indonesia, since North-South can make quite a lot of clubs|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  EW have good spade fit but East's @h honours are not working so well - East's 1@h overcall will warn West of this|pg||
nt|blewah: yes. 5@c looks good|pg||
nt|mug: 2D I meant|pg||
mb|2N!|nt|yo_yo: the bidding looks odd on this board in the OR|pg||

nt|don_kapu: i rhink so oom west|pg||
nt|ahalim: this is funny for NS but not funny for EW|pg||

nt|odysseus69: East might hit this|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  South's @hAQ have gone up in value|pg||
nt|blewah: S hand value has increased a lot after that 2@c|pg||
nt|mamos: 3NT wont be a success I guess|pg||
nt|dburn:  at the other table East bid 2@d to show majors, so North-South never bid clubs at all|pg||
nt|mamos: or perhaps it will :0|pg||
nt|grebrof: anyone opt for 4 @s wirg Ss hand?|pg||
mb|p|nt|don_kapu: or @h 5|pg||
nt|westjava: odd and strange|pg||
nt|ahalim: the operator bid like that|pg||
nt|blewah: 1@d 15-17 bal or 11/12-15 unbal|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: it was just the final contract|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  choices of 4@c, 5@c and 2@h|pg||
mb|p|nt|vugraphznx: -6?|pg||
pc|cK|nt|dgame: dont play @s|pg||
nt|odysseus69: skinny game - well done|pg||
pc|cA|nt|don_kapu: woww|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: brown is looking very weird when seeing the dummy|pg||
nt|don_kapu: 9 tricks|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  West would like a @s lead|pg||
nt|blewah: how did W infered that @s?|pg||
nt|anton72: looks like we all can get a last 4-5 boards in the most tied match ....Italy lead only 3 imps |pg||
nt|mug: needs to draw trumps or @S8 will be promoted|pg||
nt|mug: don't see how else she might reasonably play though|pg||
nt|mug: scratch that, @S9 is big enough |pg||
pc|cT|nt|westjava: ok|pg||
nt|yo_yo: ok operator error,  easy to do when they play fast |pg||
nt|westjava: every body so tired there|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: the operator in the OR just had some difficulties during the bidding :)|pg||
nt|dburn:  well, South bid 1NT rather than double, so she does not have spades, and North bid the minors so she does not have spades|pg||
nt|ritong: guy lasserre went for the secret weapon  not sure it will be good|pg||
pc|c5|pg||
nt|dburn:  so maybe East has spades, unless the dealing machine has eaten them all|pg||
pc|s2|nt|alnanda: still down, but must perfect defense |pg||
pc|s7|nt|mamos: this is going to be passed out :)|pg||
nt|dburn:  indeed it was, though I would have thought East could bid 3@s|pg||
pc|sA|nt|odysseus69: defence better be careful - as long as West ducks first diamond East can warn partner off spade return|pg||
nt|don_kapu: according to my brother hood, this is pancake board (flat board)|pg||
nt|westjava: @S9 lead other room|pg||
nt|ahalim: I think blewah shd become operator once|pg||
nt|westjava: tied money policy, moneter crisis, don|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  as a passed hand, South cannot be much better than she is. who would be bidding 2@c rather than 1NT?|pg||
nt|grebrof: nonvul vs vul probably more temting|pg||
pc|sJ|pg||
nt|don_kapu: flat board|pg||
nt|dburn:  still time to take plenty of tricks for the defenders|pg||
pc|sK|nt|alnanda: Q@h !!|pg||
pc|c6|nt|blewah: raising directly @c would have work better, it seems|pg||
pc|s5|nt|blewah: i don't think i would be strong enough to do it oom Arifin|pg||
nt|don_kapu: maybe 1 imp for England|pg||
nt|ahalim: ok then pls don't say operator's error|pg||
nt|blewah: maybe the toughest job in bridge|pg||
nt|westjava: agreed|pg||
pc|s9|pg||
nt|westjava: btw, live score : USA-2 Senior leads 228.5 - 174 VP vs Ina Senior|pg||

mb|3H|mb|4S|mb|5H|mb|p|nt|dburn:  this game didn't have to make at the other table, did it?|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: a playoff that is with less boards than the finals|pg||
nt|westjava: u r right Paul, the others I mean|pg||
nt|dburn:  South may have a chance now, if 3@c is natural (as it should be)|pg||
mb|p|nt|yorkbeach:  North has the right sort of shape to X 2@s but not enough values|pg||
nt|mamos: south might dbl and N bid Clubs|pg||
nt|mug: I wonder why Dhondy didn't upgrade this hand to an opening 1NT?|pg||
nt|grebrof: good bidding|pg||
mb|p|nt|dburn:  I guess it did, once South led a spade|pg||
nt|alnanda: @s lead|pg||
nt|blewah: what is 3@s?|pg||
pc|sK|nt|dburn:  but North had not opened, so South didn't know what to lead|pg||
nt|dburn:  but about 1,000 IMPs have been lost in this tournament so far by people who cannot bid the opponents' non-suits naturally|pg||
pc|s2|nt|odysseus69: and having bid 2D South should run when doubled|pg||
nt|yo_yo: I would be tempted to save with the east hand now|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: N shaking her head, she didn t want to alert 3@s :)|pg||
nt|grebrof: most likely go drn, but|pg||
nt|ritong: good chances of a duplicated auction|pg||
nt|ritong: so, gathering maximum of tricks in order  making it not that relevant|pg||
pc|s4|nt|blewah: i see|pg||
nt|westjava: :)|pg||
nt|mamos: i think that  pass by S   "timid"|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  West's 1@c is either clubs or a weak NT|pg||
nt|dburn:  and that, in times when both 1@c and 1@d are frequently short suits, is really not very sensible|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  it would get an alert where I play|pg||
nt|szalay: gotta go, bye all|pg||
pc|sT|pg||
pc|cT|nt|blewah: unfavorable vulnerability. a bit conservative maybe by S, though|pg||

pc|cK|nt|alnanda: next world championship 2013, Indonesia to host , we must prepare ourselves as organizers and achievement|pg||
pc|c5|pg||
pc|cA|nt|dburn:  well, maybe. But if East had held the ace of clubs and West the ace of hearts, 3NT doubled would have made an overtrick|pg||
nt|odysseus69: well maybe East would have led a heart - we can maybe all day - I am too old and cowardly to want to be in 3NTx on the N/S cards |pg||
nt|dburn:  oh, I don't say I would want to be in it either - I am also an old coward|pg||

pc|hA|nt|yo_yo: Nicola will be expecting bad breaks from the bidding|pg||
pc|h4|nt|ritong: i talk about lasserre's state of mind|pg||
nt|ritong: his prebalancing action is obvious, imho, and contract will very likely be the same next room|pg||
nt|ritong: so will be the opening lead, at first sight|pg||
pc|h2|pc|h5|pg||
pc|hJ|nt|odysseus69: on the other hand I am in the camp which advocates an opening bid on North so no sympathy when passing costs game|pg||
pc|h9|nt|blewah: ruff out some @ds would be my line, can go to hand with trump|pg||
nt|blewah: to table, I mean|pg||
nt|westjava: Venice other SF, France leads 84 - 46.5 imps vs Netherland|pg||
nt|yo_yo: the x ruff will work as it happens|pg||
nt|ritong: so his target is to make as many tricks as reasonably possible, then compare scores|pg||
pc|h3|nt|don_kapu: 6 imp ?|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  South might have reopened wih 3@c|pg||
nt|dburn:  they will have a singleton only when 4=4=4=1 precisely - but they will have a doubleton quite a lot of the time|pg||
pc|s3|pg||
nt|mug: some pairs simply don't open 1NT with a 5-card majors, for example the three pairs on the Italian open team|pg||

nt|yorkbeach:  even in third seat, South opens with her poor 12|pg||
nt|blewah: 1@d by S?|pg||
nt|mug: 1@D was nebulous so South was put off trying 2@D |pg||
mb|p|nt|westjava: welldune|pg||
nt|ianmcc: I don't think you have to get to 4@s(which went close)|pg||
mb|p|nt|don_kapu: can u keep it|pg||
nt|blewah: now all she has to do is make it|pg||
nt|don_kapu: but i think E has drink a little blood of dragon|pg||
nt|yo_yo: what does the encyclopedia say  for the @D suit|pg||
nt|dburn:  low to the jack is normal|pg||
nt|westjava: so, the new leader, again?|pg||
nt|ritong: @s K does not look good, and @h xxx not a bonus|pg||
nt|grebrof: I gues 3@s also how @Hs - not my style, but you better play the sam as your partmrt|pg||
nt|ritong: @s K does not look good because opponents presumably hold nine of them, therefore it will not be an active card  better be elsewhere|pg||
nt|ritong: now choice is restricted:)|pg||
nt|grebrof: if east has somrthing left to offer. he bids again - does he?|pg||

pc|s3|nt|odysseus69: dreaded slam on finesse board - my pet hate|pg||
nt|ianmcc: this is worse if @c led|pg||
pc|sK|pg||
nt|odysseus69: Rolands law- bid it when right  dont when wrong|pg||
nt|dgame: dewi is digging it|pg||
nt|odysseus69: in reality a fractin less than 50% - 6-1 club break - not massive - reduces it a fraction|pg||
nt|blewah: N could have tried 2@c though|pg||
nt|blewah: 54+ in minors|pg||
nt|ianmcc: best to settle for -200|pg||
nt|ianmcc: take 6@d & @c|pg||
pc|h4|nt|westjava: ABCC in Bali 2012 is open tournament|pg||
nt|westjava: so, this board will be push|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  South did not fancy a weak NT in third seat vulnerable with 12 - not sure of the logic for preferring 1@d to 1C though|pg||
nt|blewah: yes to some questions, NS play weak NT|pg||
pc|hA|nt|dburn:  but on this auction North is marked with the king|pg||
pc|hQ|nt|odysseus69: good start for declarer - can switch to spades now|pg||
pc|h5|pg||
nt|mamos: nonetheless NS find themselves in a pretty good spot|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  possible pick up for Indonesia|pg||
nt|ianmcc: going for throat|pg||
pc|s8|nt|dburn:  at the other table 1NT could have been made easily enough, but dummy had to discard on three rounds of spades|pg||
nt|ritong: some uncalled for undertricks coming|pg||
pc|s5|pc|sJ|nt|don_kapu: how do you when it is right or wrong ? law of The Egg of Colombus|pg||
nt|dburn:  and declarer kept all of North's diamonds and then misguessed the suit|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  declarer got the @d wrong at the other table|pg||
nt|dburn:  so that she lost four spades and one of everything else|pg||
nt|blewah: continue with @c now?|pg||
pc|sA|pg||
nt|odysseus69: not sure I understand the OR bidding - East did not appear to be doing enough but maye 3H was a max or min over 3C -some play this and 4H is in middle|pg||
nt|don_kapu: in Depok, this bidding style we call Dewi Persik Digging|pg||
nt|don_kapu: sdh finisse again @d, |pg||
nt|dburn:  and South probably has some shortage for the jump to 3@h|pg||
nt|dburn:  so, declarer may very well go right|pg||
nt|yo_yo: Has to finesse @S now|pg||
pc|h6|nt|dgame: hehehe|pg||
nt|don_kapu: am i right boer Alnando ?|pg||

pc|h3|nt|blewah: lots of finesses|pg||
pc|s6|nt|don_kapu: in Medan we call Sapurata|pg||

nt|odysseus69: new leader |pg||

nt|blewah: even 6nt|pg||
nt|blewah: no there are 6 of them|pg||
nt|dburn:  their other pair has not played so far in this match|pg||
nt|blewah: Bojoh and Tueje have been playing in all (?) segments |pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  I understand There will be an indepth article on The Indonesian Womens Team in tomorrows Bulletin complete with Colour photo|pg||
nt|blewah: Murniati and Dewi next|pg||
nt|odysseus69: well done|pg||
nt|ianmcc:  all is well for standoff|pg||
nt|ritong: if so, cheap outcome|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: Robinson called director... don't know why....|pg||
nt|ritong: misexplanation, likely  call the cop for the road|pg||
nt|grebrof: the oldtimer never lead trumps at dbl contracyd either - not tat its right every time :)|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: discussion previous board 4@D bid|pg||
mb|1D|nt|westjava: the last 3 boards, injury time, don?|pg||
nt|don_kapu: i dont think so|pg||
mb|p|nt|odysseus69: 1NT in both rooms for England?|pg||
nt|don_kapu: P - 1@D - 1@H - North (??)|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: this is a very funny hand :)|pg||
mb|1S|nt|mamos: so these four have indeed played an awful lot of boards|pg||
mb|3H|nt|yo_yo: I feel 2NT is correct but Sally wont want to miss game|pg||
nt|don_kapu: whats your westjava|pg||
nt|dburn:  if North-South can bid a lot of spades, East-West may find slam hard to reach|pg||
nt|blewah: OK. in RR 21, Bojoh - Tueje were benched|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: of course they are going to be in a failing slam |pg||
nt|vugraphznx: but i suppose it will be flat board|pg||
mb|p!|an|minimum|nt|vugraphznx: director left... will come back I think...|pg||
nt|ritong: as expected, 2@s was the contract other room as well on board 12|pg||
nt|grebrof: as  said about the !a lead at board 11 - leading clubs was a gamble|pg||
nt|ritong: but chambers managed better  +5|pg||
mb|4H|nt|dburn:  and North-South have just bid a lot of spades|pg||
nt|mamos: same auction as OR|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  same start in OR|pg||
nt|mamos: so far :)|pg||
nt|dburn:  but West has a pretty good hand - if 5NT meant pick a slam, she might do that|pg||
nt|ritong: and, indeed, +10 for having naively led his long suit:-)|pg||
mb|4S|nt|blewah: 3nt is an impressive score from Closed Room|pg||
nt|dburn:  well, that jack of hearts may be promoted on the bidding|pg||
nt|ianmcc: 8 tricks in @s was good going|pg||
mb|p|nt|odysseus69: no West dredged up a pass- or is 1D forcing?|pg||
nt|blewah: and repeated here|pg||
nt|don_kapu: ok|pg||
nt|dburn:  not in practice, but fortunately that does not matter|pg||
mb|p|nt|alnanda: welcome blewah...You come at the right time, seeing results, the indonesia audience can release the tension with drink BLEWAH with ice and syrup :) :)|pg||
nt|dgame: yes, |pg||
nt|yo_yo: SAlly  will win and take her winners|pg||
nt|don_kapu: 5@D 1@H 4@C = 10 tricks, am i right brother westjava|pg||
mb|p|nt|westjava: normal choice of lead|pg||
nt|don_kapu: so many chat to me and i will repeated it|pg||
nt|grebrof: well Henri, you been in this game for what is it - 50 years ? you rather lead a tight 6 carder than a brokem 4 carder - yes?|pg||
nt|ritong: i have no clear rule|pg||
nt|ritong: lasserre hoped the surprise effect would work  it did not|pg||
nt|ritong: hence " secret weapon"|pg||
pc|hQ|nt|mug: Indonesia missed 4@S on  28 so that's 6 or 7 to England, depending on the overtricks|pg||
pc|h2|nt|dburn:  not sure what 4NT means - probably takeout, but even so...|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  East must have a near maximum pass to X 2@s|pg||
nt|mamos: Nicola might kno w what this means   dont|pg||
nt|mamos: I dont|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  she will not like her @h if that is the deciding factor|pg||
nt|dburn:  ...if this is the way to try for slam in hearts, Smith may be put off by the quality of her trumps|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  she may think there is the @sA and 1 @h to lose|pg||
nt|blewah: 4nt and then 5@h must be bigger than a direct 5@h|pg||
nt|dburn:  still, partner should have five clubs for this auction, and in general when partner makes a slam try and you have the ace and king of her main suit, you should bid a slam|pg||
nt|dburn:  because she must have most of the rest|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  good point and East has nothing wasted in @s|pg||
nt|dburn:  for all that, East made a good decision at the other table|pg||
nt|blewah: while 4@sX could have been down 5! as Georgia said|pg||
nt|odysseus69: on the surface 1 down but....|pg||
pc|hA|nt|dburn:  well done|pg||

pc|h2|nt|westjava: normal lead, but a happy lead to decl|pg||
nt|mamos: well  it is not impossible|pg||
nt|blewah: unorthodox 2NT opening|pg||

nt|don_kapu: but this hand can be make by sq E in @S and @D|pg||
nt|lontoh 63: one agresive biding from Lusye ,that's her style|pg||

nt|ritong: presumably|pg||
mb|p|nt|blewah: glad she didn't listen to me and open 2NT|pg||
nt|don_kapu: 145 - 144 not a leader just a winning draw|pg||
nt|odysseus69: will South sit?|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: and The Netherlands BB 16 ahead Italy|pg||
nt|blewah: i don't think so|pg||

mb|3N|nt|westjava: as we  get ready to start the board, let me say, many thanks, to our operator Ruud from Netherland.  A job well done!!|pg||

mb|p|nt|mamos: 155 -145 to England is the score|pg||

nt|blewah: wrong|pg||
mb|p|nt|westjava: ty v much to our fellow commentator from Indonesia and England...|pg||
nt|dgame: will set 1|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  declarer can make playing for the @cA onside|pg||
nt|don_kapu: yes|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  defenders cannot stop the ruff without losing their second trump trick|pg||
nt|don_kapu: 1@S discard from @D|pg||
mb|p|nt|westjava: for info, EW play Precision Modified (they call Djarum Precision) system |pg||

nt|ianmcc: again, we'll see|pg||
mb|p|nt|vugraphznx: last board of this round thx all|pg||
nt|westjava: sry, I am told that EW play standard|pg||
nt|lontoh 63: yes ... England started with a 10-IMP carry-over so they have in fact lost 32 IMPs for now|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  slight clue for the @cA onside is that South might have led a @c with similar holdings in each minor|pg||
nt|alnanda: how about 1 !|pg||
nt|alnanda: how about 1 @c losser ?|pg||
nt|dgame: interesting|pg||
nt|anton72: i am apologise ...but ..whats happened now ...c/o is missing here in result ?...somebody to know?|pg||
nt|don_kapu: this is depend of line of play E to place N with @S Q or S with @C ace|pg||

nt|mamos: and lets all rejoin for the excitement of the last stanza|pg||
nt|blewah: decl doesn't seem to have much option than hoping @cA onside|pg||
nt|mug: @SK was not a good start|pg||
