nt|ahalim: 2NT seems lebensohl|pg||
nt|vbman: when n opens slam is guaranteed|pg||
nt|viren169: tough to reach 7... but 6 should be a walk in the park for these guys|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: first board already an exciting board, minimal opening of N, but nice layout|pg||
mb|2D|nt|viren169: simple J2N|pg||
nt|frankaus: Egtton in early 20's, Gosney just 30+/-|pg||

mb|p|nt|henryb:  a close question whether to double or bid 2@s|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: Ruia took back his pass and bid 4@S|pg||
nt|henryb:  Welcome to Veldhovn|pg||
nt|henryb:  India is third in the Senior Bowl, USA 1 is tied for 7th|pg||
nt|otoj: hi all|pg||
nt|viren169: Not sure I really like the dble...|pg||
nt|viren169: ruff 4 clubs in North's hand...|pg||
nt|frankaus: the whole AUS open team under 50 quite unusual|pg||
nt|viren169: It is the 5th trump that make South's hand a great hand...|pg||
nt|vbman: exactly|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: indeed young Australian players|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: E is taking time to evaluate his hand|pg||
nt|lechcold: jak to czêsto ostatnimi czasy bywa, seniorzy s¹ nasz¹ ostoj¹...|pg||
mb|2H|nt|henryb:  On the surface 4@s is a very reasonable contract -- down because of the bad red suit breaks.|pg||
nt|3for3: north south play canape with a big club...|pg||
nt|3for3: ew 2/1 american style|pg||
nt|ritong: on the other hand, leading a @d in dummy's suit is not attractive either|pg||
nt|henryb:  I have to go make sure my team is in place. be back shortly|pg||
nt|davidstern: .|pg||
mb|3D|nt|3for3: this sort of auction usually suggests a trump lead|pg||
mb|p|nt|ritong: remains a trump|pg||
nt|vbman: 5th trump also means the queen|pg||
mb|p|nt|ryskiel_: dizeñ dobry - witam spragnionych dobrej gry i zwyciêstwa dru¿yny polskiej...|pg||
nt|vbman: they might bid grand if they have the technology|pg||
nt|viren169: yes...|pg||
mb|p|nt|vugraphzpd: Hi Jaap|pg||

pc|hA|pg||
nt|jaapfr: an aggressive E could balance|pg||
pc|sK|nt|henryb:  greetings again|pg||
pc|sA|nt|ritong: kasle is now aware about the five possible discards|pg||
nt|ritong: and the @s 6 shows an odd count|pg||
nt|ritong: basically, 5 when west bid 4@s|pg||
nt|ritong: so..|pg||
nt|jaapfr: good start Indonesia|pg||
pc|s2|nt|ryskiel_: banalne 10 lew choæ rozgrywaj¹cy jeszcze o tym nie wie, szczególnie po wicie w jego kolor...mo¿e zacznie co kombinowaæ ale szybko oka¿e siê, ¿e strach ma wielkie oczy tylko|pg||
nt|viren169: should be a flat bd...|pg||
pc|s7|pg||
nt|jaapfr: but a bit shot into the dark|pg||
nt|ritong: but he might find surprising declarer did not try for @s A on|pg||
nt|pelu: and both pairs - that not normal - play 2@D as weak 2 in @D! - we are back in the 50'es :)|pg||
pc|hQ|nt|vbman: when opps are slamming it is seldom benefitial to dbl anything , only if u want to save vul vs. not|pg||
pc|h4|nt|jacksond: poorish borderline game. looks like 2 losers in both diamonds and clubs even if Diamond ace was favourable|pg||
pc|h6|nt|ryskiel_: nie kombinuje - praktyczny jegomoæ|pg||
pc|d6|pg||
nt|ritong: also, a @h cancels the fifth discard|pg||

nt|pelu: but a @c-lead|pg||
pc|sQ|pc|s3|nt|vugraphzpd: north and south discussing the board in polish|pg||
pc|c2|pc|s8|pg||
nt|jaapfr: for W too dangerous imo|pg||
pc|sJ|pc|s5|pc|c3|nt|hlortz: this match will finish 1/3 of the RR  to qualify 8 of the teams for KO usa1 lies 11th italy 12/13|pg||

pc|s4|pc|s9|pc|d2|pc|d4|pg||
nt|henryb:  Declarer might have been better advised to start the crossruff without cashing the @hA|pg||
nt|pelu: in the round robin Denmark won 22-8 and the carry over ios 14,5|pg||
pc|h9|pc|d9|pc|h3|nt|henryb:  declarer can now make 5 in several ways: on a club return, a double squeeze with hearts in the middle or a straight forward red suit squeeze against S|pg||
pc|h5|pg||
nt|3for3: now west has to give dummy an entry|pg||
pc|dJ|pc|dK|pc|dA|pc|d7|pg||

nt|viren169: I agree...|pg||
nt|vbman: first blood for aussies|pg||
pc|d3|pc|c4|nt|henryb:  anyway, down 1 looks inescapable, and 4 imps to Germany on the first board|pg||

pc|s6|nt|ryskiel_: nasi graj¹ oczywicie WJotem którym tam, a Amerykanie zapewne swoim Standard American|pg||

nt|vugraphzpd: he played it I think|pg||

nt|vbman: maybe when thinking  he has lost 12|pg||

mb|1S|nt|roswolf: hi all|pg||

nt|viren169: N/S need to be careful on this one...|pg||
mb|p|nt|otoj: otherwise decl had time to establish club for down 1|pg||
mb|2S|nt|jaapfr: 5@S C NS depending @SK first|pg||
nt|henryb:  South's vulnerable overcall is unlikely to be duplicated in the other room|pg||
nt|hlortz: 4@S looks good here but down on bad breaks @S 4-1 k@C offside|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: I think they started with spade, than twice harts|pg||
nt|vbman: l cant see a way they stop at 3cl|pg||
nt|viren169: a heavy 2@H|pg||
nt|vbman: unless campos tries something clever|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: not an easy board for N-S to avoid getting too high|pg||
nt|frankaus: N had only 10HCP but 27 zars  - only need 26 to open |pg||
mb|p|nt|blewah: Hi Oom Jaap :)|pg||
nt|don_kapu: hello all|pg||
mb|4S|nt|roswolf: this is a feisty auction|pg||
nt|henryb:  3!n or 5@d look really cold|pg||
nt|ahalim: hello don|pg||
nt|otoj: a discipline pass by N.. |pg||
nt|don_kapu: hello mr arifin|pg||
nt|otoj: hi Don..|pg||
nt|viren169: and more pressure from West|pg||
nt|viren169: dble again and pass the 4@C response?|pg||
nt|vbman: or pass out|pg||
nt|frankaus: link to zar points - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zar_Points|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: a good preemptive raise from W, S has 19pt and normally does not want to pass|pg||
nt|viren169: South may try (unsuccessfully) 3N|pg||
nt|jacksond: little harder to get to slam after opponents have pre-empted|pg||
mb|p|nt|henryb:  Schwartz-Finkel play 2/1 with many special agreements in various auctions|pg||
nt|henryb:  Vivaldi-Mosca also play fairly straightforward methods but unusual 2-bids|pg||
nt|vbman: think the raise will help him|pg||
mb|p|nt|henryb:  3!n is better|pg||
nt|ryskiel_: oj - obawiam siê ¿e to nie obiegnie|pg||
mb|p|nt|jaapfr: a safe 6@H save for ew with 6@HX-2|pg||
nt|don_kapu: hi otoj|pg||
nt|josj: selamat malam dari Veldhovend ke Indonesia:)|pg||
nt|jacksond: South going to bid 3NT surely|pg||
nt|pelu: 4@S has 4 losers, but in OR the lead was @CA and @C to K and ruff - so Peter Schaltz now have a chance to make|pg||
pc|cA|nt|henryb:  I expect Schwartz will bid 4@s and probably play there|pg||
nt|jaapfr: hoi mas Aria:)|pg||
nt|ryskiel_: Laska powstrzymaj szalej¹ce konie proszê...|pg||
nt|viren169: Dble is best...|pg||
pc|c4|nt|roswolf: south being cautious|pg||
nt|roswolf: rightly so|pg||

pc|s5|nt|viren169: Good lead|pg||
pc|sT|nt|jaapfr: the crux here is how can EW enter the bidding with their @C@H fits (almost impoossible)|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: mosquito killed by Sabine|pg||
nt|ryskiel_: kontrakt ma szanse jak reforma gier hazardowych w Polsce|pg||
nt|jacksond: North was maybe worth one more bid |pg||

pc|s7|nt|vbman: change play|pg||

pc|s6|pg||

nt|ahalim: eh ono Liliek|pg||
nt|vbman: l disagree with campos' raise|pg||
nt|szeryf: tu Ryszard Kie³czewski - muszê obs³ugiwaæ dwa pokoje st¹d drugi nick|pg||

pc|cK|nt|hlortz: was mosca's pass over 4@S forcing?  maybe|pg||
nt|3for3: levin doesnt want arnim in to play 2 more rounds of trump|pg||
nt|3for3: 4@S failed in open room...|pg||
pc|s4|nt|roswolf: this is where players err -south knows no defence works therefore play quickly and conservr mental energy - there is a lot of bridge left to be played|pg||

nt|henryb:  This can make against a spade lead if declarer guesses well in @d|pg||
pc|hQ|nt|jaapfr: 3nt now imo|pg||
nt|hlortz: well all that wasted @D stuff a bit unlucky but pressing for game not vul seems 'optimistic'|pg||
nt|henryb:  wimpishness has a lot so say for itself: if you had to choose between 2@h and 4@h, 2@h would be most people's choice on the N-S cards :)|pg||
nt|blewah: 6 card 11-15 or 5@c 4M|pg||
nt|henryb:  North has a tough rebid over 3@h. 3@h is forcing - although it does not promise 5|pg||
nt|henryb:  3!n might be right|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: good lead from west here.|pg||
nt|henryb:  4@h looks to be down 1: 6 trumps and three aces. But maybe he can set up the long spade while he still has control|pg||
nt|henryb:  @hJ, @s ruff, @cA, @dA -- no. not quite|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: indeed theres a lack of communication for it i guess without loosing trump control|pg||

mb|p|nt|roswolf: probably shows both minors|pg||
nt|viren169: Now N will bid 3@H or some good aise in spades|pg||
mb|d|nt|don_kapu: good evening Jaap from Medan North Sumatrea|pg||
nt|henryb:  North has a tough rebid, made tougher by three small in opener's suit|pg||
nt|kerasidis: an other 3 @d probably would be usefull|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: E wanted to double but changed his mind|pg||
nt|jacksond: 4Sx is a good vulnerable save against 4H.  |pg||
nt|smoller:  Doubledummy all trick can be made in spades and diamonds - will he get 11?|pg||
nt|pelu: 4@H down 3 = 800, but W prob bid 4@s|pg||
mb|p|nt|blewah: everywhere in the world but not in Italy. At least all the BB players of that country|pg||
nt|jaapfr: hoi Don dari Sumatera utara:)|pg||
mb|4S|nt|roswolf: north considering a slam try!? hardly worth it|pg||
nt|roswolf: and again using up more mental energy|pg||
nt|roswolf: this is incredible - what is he thinking about - the number of angels you can get on a pinhead!?|pg||
nt|henryb:  meanwhile you sell several 6-7 imp losses to gain one 10 imp or 6 imp gain. not a good tradeoff, imo|pg||
nt|henryb:  close whether to respond 1@h or pass. I would pass. but if he bids 1@h, as he did, partner will raise to 4.|pg||
nt|ryskiel_: po partii to musz¹ graæ|pg||

pc|cA|nt|ritong: if you do not get what i am talking about, just check board 3 in this room|pg||

nt|ahalim: Eddy will hope that @D1o is with East|pg||
pc|d3|nt|blewah: S tries falsecarding|pg||
nt|santyclz2:  It looks as if 2@c was a form of drury.|pg||
pc|d4|nt|don_kapu: cannot - 1, becouse @S will discard from @S|pg||
nt|blewah: and it works!|pg||
nt|don_kapu: - 2|pg||
pc|dQ|nt|roswolf: declarer is safe because the @SA is right but he dont know that|pg||
nt|henryb:  It will be hard for declarer not to take at least 7 tricks|pg||
nt|henryb:  perhaps difficult to take more|pg||
nt|jaapfr: now only -1|pg||
nt|smoller:  well 2@S was too high anyway|pg||

pc|d6|nt|bobh1: hi all|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: hi Bob wlc|pg||

nt|vugraphzpd: Manoppo asked Schwartz if he had @H Q10|pg||
nt|don_kapu: maybe some contract in other room|pg||
nt|smoller:  The bidding may be influenced by the missed game on board 5|pg||
pc|cT|nt|don_kapu: but 4@S always by EW|pg||
pc|dA|nt|jacksond: not so easy now|pg||
nt|pelu: Denmark had a row of exelent results, but the last 4 matches not so good: 14 against Pakistan, 12 against Indonesia, 13 against Netherland and only 18 against Guadeloupe|pg||
pc|d5|pg||
nt|ritong: either @ds 3/3 or @h ace on|pg||
nt|ritong: guy lasserre will take the lower , in terms of probability, because he knows @ds 3/3|pg||
pc|cK|nt|rnmalik: would not risk the @D finesse and play for @H 3/3 and 10 tricks.|pg||
nt|ritong: not technically, but table feeling|pg||
pc|c9|nt|henryb:  nine anyway|pg||
nt|rnmalik: @D are blocked.|pg||

nt|jacksond: yes. they have done so well and being in the lead are probably looking ahead to the KO stages|pg||
pc|h7|pc|h6|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: director in the room... its regarding consulting the systemcard after play... its allowed...|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: regarding misunderstanding board 4..|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: director left..|pg||
pc|h4|nt|roswolf: and he has created a 6th loser|pg||
pc|hQ|nt|viren169: E tried the @Hs to be 3-3 before reverting back to @Cs|pg||

pc|h2|pc|s8|pc|sK|nt|roswolf: in 1nt no problem|pg||
nt|pelu: but they are 7 up against Germany in 9. place|pg||

nt|pelu: can Berg find the winning play: @SA and @s|pg||
pc|h8|pg||
nt|pelu: so only down 1 here - and the first 2 IMP to Denmark|pg||

nt|vugraphzpd: http://www.wkbridge2011.nl/nl/live/scorebord-d-orsi-senior-bowl|pg||
nt|santyclz2:  If so, the east hand was pretty minimal for that action, but it worked out.|pg||
nt|santyclz2:  3 10s.|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: they knew they were a little bit lucky, normally 1 down with optimal defense: 1@c, 1@s and 2@D losers|pg||
nt|pelu: a coffee-hand - u can go for few minutes - 4@S 11 sh be the contract :)|pg||

nt|dgame: 5@c vs 5@s|pg||

mb|p|nt|grebrof: going down 2 was (as I mentioned) unnessesary|pg||

nt|szalay: re|pg||
nt|hlortz: pass or correct from orth|pg||
nt|hlortz: north *|pg||
nt|henryb:  the strong alternatives (I believe) include acol-type 2-bids in either minor and 21-22 balanced|pg||
mb|1N|nt|vugraphzpd: west calls for a tournament director now.|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: he wants to see the defence against multi|pg||
nt|lontoh 63: 4 @S can be made I quess|pg||
nt|pelu: u see we are on same line - Steen and I have played as partner for (too) many years :)|pg||
mb|p|nt|pelu: Denmark 4. now - and No4 will prob play USA1|pg||
nt|jacksond: seniors dont overcall with Ron's hand. However in the BB and VC it is a different matter|pg||
mb|3N|nt|bobh1: this might keep EW out of @Ss|pg||
nt|3for3: we know meyers couldnt open 2@D, since that was multi.  i'd think most would open 1@D if 2 not available|pg||
mb|p|nt|grebrof: she could have played the last trump too and W would have been sqeezed|pg||
nt|roswolf: 4@H might make on a good day|pg||
nt|mikael_w: Harold, Is there any chanse you remember and have time to tell us how 3 NT was made on board 17 ?|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: it isnt, 3NT -1 it says for me.|pg||
nt|3for3: pass seems wrong with such a promising suit|pg||
nt|3for3: another chance for the germans|pg||
nt|sybarra: I like the 1 @D bid with that hand|pg||
nt|ritong: probable @c lead|pg||
nt|ritong: rest is worse|pg||
nt|viren169: Interesting dble... |pg||
nt|santyclz2:  Most people play x of 4@s is primarily for penalty arround here. I guess that's different in other parts of the world.|pg||
nt|jacksond: Protecting is a little safer|pg||
mb|p|nt|sybarra: its just awfully good,  but not perfect   |pg||
nt|3for3: on the board, with a vul game swing|pg||
nt|sybarra: Della in the other room did open it 1 @D |pg||
nt|ritong: second choice @s A|pg||
nt|kerasidis: imprresive ....will be interesting|pg||
mb|p|nt|mikael_w: N/S has a system that would take me a LONG time to learn, so I am sorry if I cant tell you everything about their bids :) but offcurse 1@h was transfer here|pg||
nt|viren169: by South|pg||
nt|pelu: ok - Berg just tryed for a swing|pg||
pc|dQ|nt|mikael_w: ohhh sorry Harold, I was thinking about how it was made in the other room :) sorry|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: south so far told he had 10 cards in 2 suits and no void.|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: meyers not happy|pg||
nt|sybarra: I always look at the W hand and think,  how bad will it be to rebid 2 @D  |pg||
nt|ritong: ah|pg||
nt|don_kapu: know what, bid 5!V pr pass 4@S|pg||
nt|jaapfr: good 4@S not sure they will not bid 5@C|pg||
nt|don_kapu: 5@C|pg||
nt|smoller:  He must make two heart tricks not to lose 1 IMP|pg||
nt|pelu: @DK, @S to dummy, @H now is safe, so he will prob make 11 tricks - for at flat board|pg||
pc|dA|nt|ritong: ok ok|pg||
nt|dgame: oh no|pg||
pc|d4|nt|3for3: not bad at all|pg||
nt|alnanda: kibitzer most valuable playter.., lead @h, ytake A, draw trump, play KQ of @c, play A@s, A@c discard @h, then K@s and @s again.., if E take Q, discard @h again.. make it.. haha.. ...|pg||

nt|vugraphzpd: I'd pass, to be honest|pg||
nt|viren169: Me too...|pg||
nt|viren169: Pass is the toughest bid to make in bridge!|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: especially for a 20 year old aboriginal|pg||
pc|sJ|pg||

nt|mikael_w: I will look more on N/S system in a minute|pg||

nt|viren169: This shouldn't take too long when declarer gets in...|pg||
nt|santyclz2:  It looks as if this may go down, but nothing compared to e-w's vul game score.|pg||

nt|jacksond: Clearly EW pLAY AN EXTREMELY NATURAL SYSTEM|pg||
mb|2C!|nt|roswolf: like that preempt in 3rd|pg||
nt|roswolf: north might pass|pg||
nt|ritong: perhaps double followed with @hs would show some goodies, as opposed to direct 3@h weaker and distributional|pg||
nt|ritong: on the other hand, always a problem when threatened with @ss|pg||
nt|ritong: lho simply bids 3@s and you re done|pg||
nt|henryb:  Apparently Schwartz-Finkel play constructive preempts, and Finkel was hoping for something good. He won't find it|pg||

mb|p|nt|roswolf: 3nt is not a cool alternative|pg||
nt|don_kapu: if he drink a blood of lion he will go to 5@C|pg||
nt|viren169: another light dble (passed hand) will push N/S to 3@S|pg||
mb|p|nt|grebrof: "the Viking club" played by Grøtheim and Tundal is probably the most famous system from Norway, but still few players in Norway actually play it|pg||

nt|3for3: hi again...|pg||
nt|3for3: another slam potential board.|pg||
nt|ritong: thus poizat opts for showing directly the suit|pg||
nt|blewah: Manopo has more than just 2@c, obviously|pg||
nt|viren169: N may have dbled 3@C wishing to compete...|pg||
nt|santyclz2:  Is this one of the pairs that play either precision or Polish @c depending on vulnerability?|pg||
pc|d5|nt|bobh1: i guess @Hs is better altho both make on this layout|pg||
nt|3for3: slam needs little more than a favorable lie in clubs, but as we can see, today they are not|pg||
nt|sybarra: even 3 nt will be a challenge |pg||

pc|cA|pg||
nt|henryb:  On the other hand, even down 4 is only 3 imps|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: 3@D was 1 or both majors with invitational values and 3@S rejected spades|pg||
nt|jacksond: Well if they bid that one wiith so few points then the Australian EW pair will certainly bid this one |pg||
nt|pelu: so @DQ has cost Denmark 41 IMP :(|pg||
pc|d6|nt|sybarra: I have had 2 suggestions that S should win @C with ace |pg||
nt|3for3: well, the hearts are quite friendly, so declarer should be fine|pg||
nt|3for3: that would be a great play!|pg||
nt|jaapfr: maaf|pg||
pc|dK|nt|santyclz2:  He has to try to keep n out of the lead -- at least early in the hand.|pg||

pc|d9|nt|roswolf: hmm as i thought|pg||
pc|d3|pg||
nt|henryb:  Fisher and Hamilton did well to stop low.|pg||
nt|3for3: but declarer would still take top 3 hearts first, and come home|pg||

mb|p|nt|roswolf: danger is lurking|pg||
nt|blewah: you are doing great, Karen|pg||
nt|pelu: now Finkel is out of the bidding with his 6-5|pg||
mb|2N|nt|projekt1: precision 1@d|pg||
nt|sybarra: wonder if a bid of 1 @S was unbalanced and bigger hand by W?|pg||
nt|3for3: modern style is to bypass 1@S with 4333...I think this is best|pg||
nt|sybarra: you are right,  she is 4333 |pg||
nt|3for3: east can still checkback for 4@S, i am sure|pg||
nt|sybarra: is the hand worth a check back? |pg||
nt|sybarra: and aceless 4x1 |pg||
nt|3for3: aceless 11, stiff king of diamonds...but it is a VUL game to shoot for|pg||
nt|sybarra: close  |pg||
nt|josj: Munawar threw a spade to induce the endplay|pg||
mb|p|nt|hlortz: must have been strong like 14-16?|pg||

mb|3H|nt|roswolf: that was well judged by north imo|pg||
mb|p|nt|bobh1: ood job backing into game |pg||
nt|mikael_w: well, I guess Peter (S) diddnt want to bid 1 NT with only xx in @h here, plus they maybe play 1 NT as forcing|pg||
nt|henryb:  Americans balance more freely than most others|pg||
nt|jaapfr: but there a @S discard was needed to make it|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: 3@h was not absolutely necessary|pg||
mb|4H|nt|3for3: a matter of style whether west shows 4@S or 3@H first|pg||
nt|henryb:  but Hamilton made it because West mistakenly pitched a spade|pg||
mb|p|nt|3for3: here 2@C forced 2@D|pg||
nt|viren169: probably playing on clubs until the cows come home|pg||
nt|viren169: or until the E/W give him an entry to dummy with a @D|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: egtton flipping over @cQ and @d4 in his hand|pg||
nt|viren169: lol... the Q should have been on the table 5 mins ago!|pg||
nt|viren169: E/W will do well to cash their hearts and clubs and exit a spade.|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: now he also considers @sK|pg||
nt|viren169: Looks like E/W are playing reverse cound so West will know the position when the 2nd club is played...|pg||
nt|pelu: but play for 3Nt by EW - so even down 3 = flat boards against 1NT by EW|pg||
mb|p|nt|grebrof: http://www.worldbridge.org/tourn/saopaulo.09/Asp/CrossTableRank.asp?qtournid=783|pg||

nt|alpagavp: The eighth top teams will be qualified |pg||
mb|p|nt|jacksond: Yes hard for EW to get rich on non vul undertricks|pg||
mb|p|nt|vugraphzpd: sabine asked if she could have 4 sp|pg||

nt|petergill: EW Convention Card http://www.ecatsbridge.com/documents/files/ConventionCards/2011Veldhoven/BermudaBowl/Brazil/campos-villasboas.pdf|pg||
pc|s8|nt|bobh1: South has a really nice hand but no good bid over 1@D|pg||
nt|bobh1: once he passed, he had to bid 3@S because his balancing double could have been much weaker|pg||
nt|alpagavp: in the quarter final, I am pretty sure that both teams here will be qualified|pg||
nt|3for3: well, that is one benefit to bypassing spades!|pg||
nt|lokaty: sz³o 4@S|pg||
nt|frankaus: this looks in trouble now|pg||

nt|pelu: tx partner :)|pg||
pc|sJ|nt|roswolf: yes i would play on spades too|pg||
nt|sybarra: no real lead attractive in the N hand |pg||
nt|3for3: meyers is up to 7 top tricks, with lots of play in clubs and hearts for the other 2|pg||
nt|viren169: Not sure this line can ever be right?!?!|pg||
nt|petergill: is reverse count, except is some situations|pg||
pc|s6|pg||
pc|sA|pc|h2|nt|bobh1: for his part, N might have jumped to 3@S the first time, but he didn't want to hang his partner for balancing|pg||

nt|bobh1: good defense by giving a @D ruff|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: North in deep thoughts...|pg||

pc|s5|pc|s2|pg||
pc|hK|nt|bobh1: he figured it out|pg||
nt|hlortz: down this time - selling the 6 imps that henry was talking about earlier if of team stays out of game|pg||
pc|hA|nt|henryb:  Schartz and Finkel have been very accurate so far; can they continue -- not necessary to get a @h ruff, though, they have a natural @s trick|pg||

pc|h9|pg||
nt|smoller:  Nice @H9, Jorgensen?|pg||
nt|pelu: in the bidding S has show 6-4 but with a very weak hand he would bid 2@H over 1@S (and not 2@C)|pg||
nt|pelu: better duck the first @h - |pg||
nt|pelu: Steen can 4@H win if W duck @HK and next time play @c10?|pg||

nt|pelu: in OR E upgraded his hand to 1NT|pg||
mb|1C|nt|jaapfr: place your bets|pg||
nt|alunand14: 6 @H|pg||
nt|lokaty: 4 @H k³ad³ za to pikowy w³anie|pg||
nt|viren169: Some specs want to see some fireworks!|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: 1@d and 1@h was bid at the same time by E|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: bidding card sticked, luckily it was seen before the tray was moved to the other side|pg||
mb|1D|nt|grebrof: Sweden went out vs the later winners China|pg||
nt|henryb:  4@h is on the @h guess|pg||
nt|henryb:  what do N-S play over 1N? We will find out!|pg||
mb|2C|nt|nkgupt: 3@s for EW|pg||
nt|ritong: 1@d double pass 3@s would show that kind of hand|pg||
nt|blewah: 2NT?|pg||
nt|lontoh 63: but - 1 if they bider|pg||
nt|garden2005: no i zupe³nie inny nastrój ni¿ wczoraj|pg||
nt|garden2005: s¹ zyski i cienie na nastêpne zyski|pg||
nt|henryb:  double is negative|pg||
nt|viren169: Could be here...|pg||
nt|pelu: Running score Den No 4 - AUS No 7 - Denmark are 6 VP after USA 2, and Australia +14 VP to India (No9)|pg||
nt|pelu: ok|pg||
nt|smoller:  Hardly 1@H|pg||
mb|d|nt|sybarra: making 6 seems a lot |pg||
nt|santyclz2:  One of the advantages of Polish @c is that @d shows @ds.|pg||
nt|santyclz2:  (1@d)|pg||
mb|p|nt|bobh1: if S hits it can N sit?|pg||
nt|nkgupt: that sud be just =|pg||
nt|3for3: very playable, and as the card lie, makeable 6@H|pg||
nt|3for3: 2@D a transfer|pg||
nt|ritong: but it consumes lots of space when @hs can be the strain|pg||
nt|jaapfr: y|pg||
nt|blewah: it's 20-21 bal in their system|pg||
nt|henryb:  on repeated trump leads, 2@h is probably down|pg||
nt|viren169: 6@S anyone?|pg||
nt|petergill: Bd 25: @D to queen picks up Jx in either hand for 3 tricks, whereas @d to ten does not pick up 3 tricks if loses to king with 4-2 @D|pg||
nt|petergill: 2@H shows 6 or more spades|pg||
nt|viren169: looks like 2@H is a just a general force... (or an xfer to @S?)|pg||
nt|pelu: D bt N?|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: yes|pg||
mb|2N|nt|roswolf: a quiet partscore|pg||
nt|blewah: maybe hard to reach slam now|pg||
nt|jaapfr: 3@C puppet 3@H etc i suppose|pg||
nt|jacksond: still lots of boards remaining|pg||
mb|p|nt|3for3: 6@H much better from north|pg||
nt|ritong: therefore 2@d|pg||
nt|petergill: A transfer: X of 1@H would have been 4 or 5 spades|pg||
nt|petergill: No 2@H shows 6+ @S 100% for sure|pg||
nt|viren169: with it being a xfer... they should go more slowly to investigate the slam|pg||
nt|viren169: ok thks|pg||
nt|petergill: I think North will probably move|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: the south hand doesn't look like it's a slam on this board|pg||
nt|petergill: North can be very weak with 6 @S, so South has shown a really good hand|pg||
nt|vbman: 6 looser hand opposite another 5-6 looser, may try|pg||
nt|viren169: North will make another move with 2 bullets |pg||
nt|pelu: B9: Australia in 3NT - Lead @H = making|pg||
nt|pelu: sorry Luc - no ? - just the bid I expected :)|pg||
mb|p|nt|bobh1: tough at imps|pg||
nt|3for3: since the clubs are with east|pg||
nt|blewah: as they don't play puppet stayman |pg||
mb|p|nt|3for3: i dont think they will sniff at slam|pg||
nt|viren169: dont like the 4@S bid...|pg||
nt|viren169: wd... now 6@S should be reached...|pg||
nt|petergill: 5@C cue, 1st or 2nd round control|pg||
nt|vbman: 2h maybe at least inv'l|pg||
nt|viren169: ...5@D-5@H-6@S|pg||
nt|petergill: Nabil Edgtton correctly upgraded his 17 count as too strong for 15-17 1NT. That @D suit is worth more like 9 points than 7 points|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: as south I would write down I would push on to slam and bid 5@d|pg||
nt|viren169: ... I MUST....|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: i have already upgrade my profile|pg||
pc|c4|nt|blewah: if i read their CC correctly|pg||
nt|lechcold: gdyby Laska spasowa³ na tê kontrê...:)|pg||
pc|c2|nt|bobh1: maybe S should pass with his whole hand in @Ss|pg||
nt|jaapfr: then a slam chanceless|pg||
nt|lechcold: by³aby masakra|pg||
nt|lokaty: ko³o 800|pg||
pc|cK|nt|frankaus: WD|pg||
nt|viren169: lol... why waste time!|pg||
pc|cA|pg||
nt|roswolf: i would rebid 2@D instead of 1nt - avoids this inelegant contract|pg||
nt|lontoh 63: y|pg||
nt|alunand14: ya :(|pg||
nt|jaapfr: lucky guys!!|pg||
nt|petergill: In 6@S, the best play is to draw trumps and try to get the 12th trick from @D, not to try to ruff a club|pg||
nt|viren169: South felt he has to catch up...|pg||
nt|viren169: 2 round of trumps (finding they break) and ruff a @C?!?!|pg||
nt|santyclz2:  4@d looks like a splinter.|pg||
nt|santyclz2:  3@c like a mini-splinter but there are several other options possible.|pg||
pc|hK|nt|vugraphzpd: Yes they play stayman|pg||
nt|blewah: puppet, Karen?|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: no|pg||
nt|alunand14: no, stayman|pg||
nt|petergill: The reason Gos chose 5@C instead of 4NT is that it gave Nabil a way to stop in 5@S, if Nabil's 4@S bid had been a puint instead of the real thing |pg||
pc|h8|nt|grebrof: this is a good contract|pg||
nt|henryb:  If declarer finds out about both black aces before playing trumps, he has a chance to guess the hearts|pg||
nt|henryb:  but likely to go wrong|pg||
nt|3for3: once again...wrong :)|pg||
nt|sybarra: its the commentators curse|pg||
nt|sybarra: but n/s have to know they are behind in match, so maybe pressing |pg||
nt|ritong: good luck west|pg||
nt|smoller:  EW will now make 2NT :)|pg||
pc|h2|nt|ritong:  |pg||
nt|pelu: but for sure not 2NT from S - bad @C-stopper, and his @Ds not very good - that will cost - 200-300 - |pg||
pc|h4|pg||
nt|viren169: otherwise go back to @Ds|pg||
pc|h3|pc|h6|nt|alpagavp: For the moment France is 9th and China is 16th|pg||
nt|3for3: that doesnt really pay on the WBF scale.  You win or lose VP's regardless of the score of the match, until you are behind a very large amount|pg||
nt|santyclz2:  E has a very unappatizing hand from which to lead and trys a little trickery.|pg||
pc|hQ|pc|hA|pg||
nt|grebrof: a more agressive E would have bid the @s-suit|pg||
nt|petergill: Paul Gosney likes bidding 4NT 1430 as much as the rest of us, but there is a time (like here) to pass the captaincy of the decision to partner|pg||
nt|szeryf: only lead to make problems for declearer|pg||
pc|cJ|nt|viren169: yes... I am sure he would have cue 5@H over 5@D|pg||
pc|c8|nt|3for3: and -41 is not large enough....they would still get 6 vp's for that result.|pg||
nt|sybarra: I am reminded,  n/s may not think they are behind,  this table has been pretty good |pg||
nt|3for3: well done...|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: given explanations|pg||
nt|sybarra: not an easy lead from E hand |pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: with screen up so both oppenents are clear|pg||
nt|ryskiel_: 500|pg||
nt|kerasidis: should he unblock K@s before playing club?|pg||
pc|c3|nt|3for3: good point..from NS things are ok|pg||
nt|sybarra: must say, I was not looking at leading a club|pg||
nt|3for3: auken has a tough guess, but she cant go wrong...MY kind of guess|pg||
pc|c5|pg||
pc|c7|nt|viren169: Aussies have the lead!|pg||
pc|c9|nt|bobh1: better to have played @Ds|pg||

nt|mikael_w: well, I can live with upgrading E hand to 18-19 with 5-card@d. and then MAYBE it was possible to find. but still a slam you can do without :)|pg||

nt|alunand14: ruia hope E lead from @D AJ10|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: They are talking about it, he didn't want to make a mistake if it could go down|pg||
nt|petergill: Nabil knew not to look for grand slam, as North would have bid 4NT if searching for grand slam|pg||
nt|santyclz2:  But he can ruff just enough.|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: 3@c was not a mini splinter, expl at table, 4 card support in @ss|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: N said: I did not know that when the cards from S where on the table|pg||
nt|pelu: difficult position for S - 3NT looks as a fair bid|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: TD called|pg||
mb|1C|nt|alpagavp: This board is again dangerous, 6@d is a good contract but from north hand|pg||
nt|jaapfr: tx for asking karen|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: yw|pg||
mb|1H|nt|smoller:  South called?|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: no east for time|pg||
mb|p|nt|vugraphzpd: Sabine writing about 2 clubs|pg||
nt|3for3: the dreaded 10-12 nt...makes life tough on the opps..|pg||
nt|3for3: most play that double of 2@C here is a good hand...says nothing about clubs.|pg||
nt|3for3: Like she had penalty doubled 1nt|pg||
nt|sybarra: you need real methods with this range of nt,  and defending it |pg||
nt|jaapfr: re|pg||
mb|1S|nt|grebrof: S does have a huge hand + its not pretty bidding a suit topped by the JT|pg||
nt|alpagavp: quasi impossible to reach|pg||
nt|roswolf: n/s might get to 6@C|pg||
nt|henryb:  a good slam well reached by the germans in the other room|pg||
nt|rnmalik: make 7, has to ruff 2 D on the table as the cards are placed.|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: i think Levin wrote as if i had doubled 1nt|pg||
nt|sybarra: but this is the Venice Cup,  so all systems "on"  |pg||
nt|ritong: not sure poizat reopens|pg||
nt|pelu: who - NS to complain partners bid :)|pg||
mb|2C|nt|mikael_w: yes, almost posible to beat 3 NT if dec makes alot of missguess|pg||
mb|2S|nt|grebrof: so it should be possible to copy this|pg||
nt|nkgupt: any slam played by N will be cold (not 6@h/@c) :)|pg||
nt|alpagavp: and if we play 6@d for south hand the only lead that beats the contract is @c no?|pg||
nt|henryb:  I would bid 1N as West, but it is very unclear|pg||
nt|blewah: no game, but N may get anxious with his hand|pg||
mb|3C|nt|henryb:  Double would be reasonable|pg||
nt|ritong: hm|pg||
nt|ritong: reasonable|pg||
mb|4S|nt|roswolf: which doesnt have much play even on a non spade lead|pg||
nt|rnmalik: would you bid 2NT (Jacoby) or 4@D?|pg||
nt|henryb:  I am not sure what version of Jacoby the Americans play|pg||
nt|henryb:  Much too good for 4@d|pg||
nt|rnmalik: 3@C short and 3@D short.|pg||
nt|ritong: passed pard, etc|pg||
nt|blewah: 4@c from S, and then...|pg||
nt|lontoh 63: you right aria|pg||
nt|don_kapu: -1|pg||
nt|jaapfr: or 3nt even|pg||
nt|lontoh 63: but different if x |pg||
mb|p|nt|grebrof: W not into bidding 2@c|pg||
nt|alpagavp: the best is to play 6NT from north|pg||
nt|roswolf: 2@H shows a smattering of hcp i think|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: no 2@H is preference for weak with both majors|pg||
nt|3for3: 3@H-3nt?|pg||
nt|sybarra: e/w in the other room had clear sailing|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: Arnim writing a lot|pg||
nt|sybarra: and as most operators will tell you,  they write in tiny little writing |pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: yes they do :)|pg||
nt|3for3: better than tiny big writing|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: two entire little pages now|pg||
nt|viren169: Will E/W bid game here? And which one?|pg||
mb|p|nt|henryb:  no; 3@c something and 3@d = what?|pg||
nt|rnmalik: ok|pg||
nt|kerasidis: 4@s?|pg||
nt|kerasidis: yes|pg||
nt|henryb:  I was wrong. They made 2@s|pg||
nt|santyclz2:  A mini-splinter is typically something like 8-10 hcp, 4 card trump support and a singleton or void in the bid suit.|pg||
mb|p|nt|vugraphzpd: director in... 35 minutes left|pg||
nt|roswolf: ty vincent|pg||

nt|viren169: a bit of a leap into the unknown!|pg||
nt|petergill: The Dbl of 4@H will guide S to @H7 lead, I think |pg||
nt|petergill: S thinking whether to Dbl 4@S|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: south asks west if they play stayman with 5@h4@s or the other way around, west confirming|pg||

pc|c8|nt|nkgupt: i have seen many experts rebid 2@d on such hands and find it diff to catch up later|pg||
nt|alpagavp: 17 HCP 3 aces and 5/5 is enough to bid 3@d no?|pg||
nt|nkgupt: well is wat i said ....a good 3@d bid|pg||

nt|sybarra: I think she was going to pass anything Arnim bid|pg||
nt|sybarra: she has a 5 count opposite 10-12,  so she knows opps have more points|pg||
nt|sybarra: she was in mucking it up |pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: yes, i guess she would, doesnt seem to be other option, would have played in a 3 3 fit :)|pg||

nt|vugraphzpd: They are talking about the @HQ Ruia played|pg||
mb|p|nt|grebrof: in the first 9 matches, Sweden has only lost 2 - so this looks promising for our neighbours :)|pg||
nt|petergill: When my team lost to this Aussie team in the Final of the Playoff, I thought Edgtton - Gosney were the best pair in the match.  |pg||
nt|viren169: Another exciting bd...|pg||
mb|2H|mb|p|nt|roswolf: i think the diamond queen was obvious - the keycard response revealed the lack of 1 ace which was likely to be the trump king|pg||

nt|nkgupt: the @h k might induce a @c underlead|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: E is not understanding the 2NT answer of his partner|pg||

nt|vugraphzpd: it was already in an earlier game|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: N is asking in detail about the bidding and the bids not done by E-W|pg||
nt|santyclz: This looks as if it would be much better off in @cs on the lead of a red suit.|pg||
pc|c5|nt|ritong: bon|pg||

nt|viren169: 4@S=cue|pg||

pc|cQ|nt|3for3: down 1 here...and 5 more to germany.  quite a high scoring match!|pg||

nt|jaapfr: from his @HQ I meant|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: :)|pg||
nt|viren169: ok...|pg||
nt|petergill: 5NT said we have all the keycards - can you bid seven?|pg||
pc|c3|pg||
nt|grebrof: if you can have 6 card minor in your 1nt - I rather bid it at the 3level|pg||
pc|dJ|nt|grebrof: NS obviously using Rusinov leads|pg||
nt|grebrof: leading something else might have been better|pg||
nt|grebrof: finding the @s Q is not important anymore - contract should be safe as there are no ruffs anywhere|pg||
nt|grebrof: well, we all would lead @hs, but even that lead might not beat this contract|pg||
nt|viren169: and 6@C said that I think we are high enough!|pg||
nt|petergill: I cannot see any endplay or squeeze - if there was one, Tony Nunn would almost certainly have found it|pg||
nt|viren169: maybe too high!|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: south kept the tray at the SW side for a while|pg||
pc|dK|nt|henryb:  an imp rides on the lead|pg||

nt|jaapfr: is it sure W will play @C when in with @HK?|pg||
pc|dA|pc|d3|pg||
nt|grebrof: if P can bid some sort of Stayman - you normally can make 3@c/@ds OR it is a better contract than 1nt anyway|pg||
nt|santyclz: On a @s lead they would appear to have 9 tricks.|pg||
pc|dQ|nt|roswolf: http://www.worldbridge.org/tourn/Veldhoven.11/Results.htm for running scores in all matches. Select Bermuda Bowl, Venice Cup or d'Orsi Senior Bowl|pg||
nt|petergill: Obvious and important lead has been made|pg||
nt|ianmcc: needs @h contin|pg||
nt|viren169: Non-heart lead... you have a chance!|pg||
nt|petergill: else S might be squeezed without the count, on say a manic (over-safe thus unsafe) trump lead|pg||
pc|d4|nt|ritong: mais la question des atouts n est pas résolue|pg||
nt|viren169: switch will also give Declarer 12 tricks|pg||

nt|henryb:  a sensible 4@h that even the 4-1 heart break should not disturb|pg||
nt|westjava: nice defence...|pg||
nt|jaapfr: DD looks so simple but SD it was not|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: Schwartz explaining he 1st played @SA, because he only had 2 clubs|pg||

nt|jaapfr: satu mati tutup boleh|pg||
nt|alunand14: sementara ladies unggul 42 imp dari NZ :)|pg||
mb|p|nt|henryb:  N-S apparently play "Negative free bids" so North has to start with double on any good hand|pg||
mb|1H|nt|szalay: 4@s now|pg||
nt|mikael_w: well, here we go. and I am sorry I cant tell the meaning of the bids|pg||
nt|sybarra: so nt range varies as to vulnerability we see |pg||
nt|jaapfr: mata|pg||
nt|petergill: So it was good technique by Miguel Villas Boas, rectifying the count for the squeeze by ducking Trick 1|pg||

nt|santyclz: 1@d = 12-14?  Perhaps they mean 12-14 if balanced?|pg||
mb|2D|nt|grebrof: little bit unsure what went wrong for Sweden at board 26, but they were unable to copy the slam bid at this table by England - to my suprice I must say|pg||
nt|grebrof: even surprise|pg||
nt|mikael_w: the most intresting so far woulb be W choise to pass the hole way|pg||

nt|henryb:  this should be 2 down, I think|pg||
nt|blewah: lol i was confused when u sai mati, Oom Jaap|pg||
nt|petergill: 1NT = spades = normal in Brazil|pg||
nt|viren169: Wrong side the spades to lose 2 imps (or more!)|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: but playing with such a partner I would take it easy too|pg||
nt|henryb:  Morse should bid 6|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: the best contract is 6@h|pg||
mb|p|nt|westjava: down grade by lasut, 8 hcp full bal|pg||
nt|jaapfr: 5@SX-3 best both pairs can do here|pg||
nt|petergill: and 1@S response to 1@H = forcing 1NT, so 5332 hand can rebid 1NT = standard expert bidding in Brazil|pg||
nt|santyclz: No, their nt starts at 14 so that's probably not it...  I give up.  Suggestions?|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: N waved his hands in such a way that 1@d is a weaker opening|pg||
mb|p|nt|roswolf: fielders choice  declarer has only a few tricks|pg||
nt|hlortz: good save|pg||
nt|blewah: *said|pg||
nt|jaapfr: therefor I corrected|pg||

pc|h5|nt|bobh1: he could have ducked the @D|pg||
nt|sybarra: yes with certain dbles you could go for 800 or so |pg||

mb|4S|nt|grebrof: I think mainly your P has to be able to dbl/bid 1nt or so if a balancing with those 10hp should be right - but ok|pg||
nt|alunand14: thanks karen.....thanks jaap......thanks all :)|pg||
nt|henryb:  will A make a negative double? yes|pg||
mb|p|nt|bobh1: on 13, where NS had a shapely 11 opposite 8, they did bid 4@H in the other room|pg||
nt|henryb:  2@h is 5+@h, 5+ second suit, less than opening strength|pg||
nt|hlortz: hands that n key is nnnnnnnnnnnnnnot going to behave :)|pg||
nt|ritong: allez allez!|pg||
nt|blewah: thanks Karen, WBF and BBO (including all kibz and commentators)|pg||
nt|henryb:  I think it is marginal at best|pg||
nt|jaapfr: rest of our friends did fall asleep:)|pg||
nt|petergill: 1@C can be doubleton if 4432 or 5332|pg||
nt|santyclz: Thanks Rob.  A big hand for our operator Rob Jetten, great job!|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: ty for watching and see you later for the final round of 21|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: ty, ty|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: :)|pg||
nt|smoller:  5-5 or more in majors|pg||
mb|5D|nt|ritong: à partir de cette ouverture, ça ira|pg||
nt|ritong: bon choix philou|pg||
nt|ritong: en plus lassere est déclarant, ça le rassurera, à propos des @h|pg||
nt|ritong: lasserre*|pg||
nt|ritong: si c est necéssaire|pg||
nt|pelu: DEN 2 VPs from 3.place - still 4 boards in OR|pg||
mb|p|nt|bobh1: and lost 5 imps|pg||
nt|petergill: 1@H = 4 or 5 spades, not 6 spades|pg||
nt|viren169: what do you do with 6 spades?|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: east didn't even dare to support on his 4crd suit|pg||
nt|pelu: sorry I lost connection|pg||
nt|smoller:  Oh, needing 3 covercards from South|pg||
mb|5S|mb|p|nt|vugraphzpd: see you all tomorrow for the next matches, starting at 10.30 hours|pg||
nt|sybarra: they may use the "multi overcall" vs a big club system |pg||
nt|sybarra: I am guessing|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: I think they are yes|pg||
nt|sybarra: difficult auction for n/s to get into, but then do they really want to be "in" |pg||
mb|p|nt|alpagavp: Last board|pg||
nt|alpagavp: the results are here|pg||
nt|alpagavp: http://www.worldbridge.org/tourn/Veldhoven.11/Results.htm|pg||
nt|jaapfr: selamat tidur and good evening bye all|pg||
mb|p|nt|bobh1: this looks like a good save for NS|pg||
nt|henryb:  looks like down 1, no tragedy when 4@d makes E-W|pg||
nt|ritong: carrément|pg||
nt|ritong: il est vraiment rassuré:)|pg||
nt|ritong: le score final devrait être 18/12|pg||
nt|ritong: pas de gros bobo|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: I'm not sure if I read the explanation of 3@H right|pg||
nt|jaapfr: perfect pressure bid 5@D|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: and again the last board is an exciting one.....|pg||
pc|c9|nt|roswolf: power bidding|pg||
pc|cQ|nt|pelu: Last board, and I will tx our operator Luc for at perfect job, and Steen Mollere for his commentatting - a real expert - kibs has not been very active but tx to u also - see u ...|pg||
nt|pelu: again|pg||
pc|cA|nt|grebrof: 4 @s must be better than this|pg||
nt|3for3: meyers cant be sad defending with 6 trump is always fun|pg||
nt|sybarra: if Sabine passes,   might have been -2 and tied match?|pg||
nt|3for3: i think it would have been better than that for ew.|pg||
nt|ritong: il va tabler très vite|pg||
nt|lokaty: dwa ostatnie rozdania nieciekawe|pg||
nt|jaapfr: if 5@H and expected @SA lead N has enough @S to falsecard and E might continue @D in tr 2|pg||
pc|c2|pg||
nt|hlortz: even better 3n makes ew also lol|pg||
nt|rnmalik: 5@D can make except for super defence, @CA and small @S.:)|pg||
nt|projekt1: again a possibility for phantastic defence : @cA -10, low @s -  @c ruff|pg||
nt|ritong: merci a tous!|pg||
nt|santyclz: Might nip this a trick but it's going to be closer than s expects.  Can e avoid a @s loser?|pg||
nt|santyclz: Double-dummy he can but in the real world...|pg||
pc|c7|nt|roswolf: http://www.worldbridge.org/tourn/Veldhoven.11/Results.htm for running scores in all matches. Select Bermuda Bowl, Venice Cup or d'Orsi Senior Bowl|pg||
nt|garden2005: nastêpna transmisja z Polakami?|pg||
nt|ryskiel_: zamiast s³owa niestety proponujê u¿ywaæ tytu³u Ericha Marii Remarq a "Na zachodzie bez zmian"|pg||
nt|lokaty: NAsi mieli bardzo przyzwoity stolik trzeba przyznaæ, za wyj¹tkiem rozdania numer 2:)|pg||
pc|c6|nt|bobh1: EW have a @S game|pg||
nt|bobh1: 2N made it awkward for them to find it|pg||
nt|pelu: 9 toptricks for NS when @D J!= drop|pg||
pc|s9|nt|grebrof: as predicted, the swedish kids at the other table werent fooled into bidding 3nt on board 30 - with a luckyer layout it would make, but streching at nonvul rarely wins you ...|pg||
nt|grebrof: teammatches|pg||
nt|alunand14: jaap, good news from Indonesia ladies : board 28 play 3NT|pg||
nt|henryb:  with the favorable location of both kings and good diamond break declarer should make 3 or four, winning 2 imps|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: jorgensen appologizes|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: that he had nothing to think about|pg||
nt|jacksond: Notice Rons 1NT opening here|pg||
pc|cK|pg||
nt|grebrof: unfortunately, the lead makes the contract for NS|pg||
nt|rnmalik: The moment of truth:)|pg||
nt|smoller:  Luckily for NS the ruff will cost a natural trump trick|pg||
pc|d6|pc|s2|pc|dJ|nt|henryb:  but a win by 43 for US1, maximum VP|pg||
pc|d3|pg||
nt|rnmalik: wow-wd.|pg||
pc|s6|nt|henryb:  true.|pg||
nt|ritong: un bon truc, les commentaires en français|pg||
nt|ritong: je m en souviendrai|pg||
nt|ritong: gracias ton|pg||
nt|ryskiel_: nastêpne transmisje o 16:45 i to dwie z Polakami proszê kolegów komentatoró o przybycie bo musimy obstawiæ dwa sto³y|pg||
nt|smoller:  Unless South gets idea|pg||
pc|s5|nt|santyclz: 5@c n-s was a nice contract, so we're going out on an exciting board. |pg||
pc|sA|nt|mikael_w: verry well done, nice slam|pg||
nt|jacksond: 23 points /60   an ordinary strong NT whereas most think it is too strong for that bid|pg||
pc|sK|pg||
nt|kamyk: ja juz dziêkujê - do nastêpnego razu|pg||
nt|lokaty: Polska - Chiny a wieczorem Polska-Izreal|pg||
nt|ryskiel_: najbardziej przyzwoite by³o rozdanie 5|pg||

nt|vugraphzpd: Bye all, see you tomorrow!!|pg||
pc|s3|nt|roswolf: to me this is a very odd line|pg||
nt|roswolf: and will cost an imp|pg||
pc|d4|nt|sybarra:  brazil made 2 sp against usa |pg||
nt|sybarra: thx feliipe for info |pg||
nt|pelu: even if he open (normal) with 1@C then 2@S from E, neg D from S and 3NT by N|pg||
nt|jacksond: sure not saying a different contract will be reached on these cards  BUT on other hands yes|pg||
nt|pelu: that is his problem :)|pg||
pc|sQ|nt|petergill: NS play 10-12 1NT in 1st seat at fav vul, hence this auction (no 1NT opening by N)|pg||
nt|vugraphzpd: we will be back at 16.45 hours|pg||
pc|sJ|pg||
pc|h2|nt|grebrof: as pointed out by kib - the lead was normal and difficult for E |pg||
nt|jacksond: dont be unkind Peter|pg||
pc|h3|nt|bobh1: S's hand is borderline for 2N...it's a little too good, if anything|pg||
nt|bobh1: i guess he decided to go with the colors and bid it out|pg||
pc|hK|nt|vugraphzpd: bbye all, thanks for wtaching..|pg||
nt|bobh1: thx all...cu later|pg||

nt|rnmalik: Good bid and equally good defence. Enjoyable. Thanks all and CU.|pg||
pc|h6|pg||
nt|santyclz: Oops, the @s discard was fatal.|pg||
mc|11|nt|santyclz: Thanks all, bye for now.|pg||
