nt|sunsamvar:  Needs both club and @H honours to be corectly placed|pg||
nt|hlortz: we can see south was hoping for a quick ruff but the wrongplayer was short in @C|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: in the running scores Sweden is leading by 333 imps to 0. So a lot of work to do by USA 2 :)|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: clearly a mistake, as Sweden only had a carry-over of 3 imps|pg||
nt|hlortz: declarer exits @h k to make a trump shift harmless - no @H lead so he expects s to have the ace|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: we are now playing the Quarter Finals. It's Knock-Out from now on|pg||
nt|hlortz: mine shows swe leading 4-0|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: the carry-over is based on the result of their match in the round robin|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: sweden won by 10 imps. Since USA 2 finished higher in the rankings 1/3 of the difference is the carry-over|pg||
pc|h6|nt|psyck:  he wants to minimise damages vul, but not much he can do|pg||
pc|s2|nt|jbgood: not unnatural to double, but takes a good defense to beat it I think|pg||
nt|jbgood: a good meaning perfect|pg||
pc|h8|nt|rv: declarer will struggle to make 5 tricks here|pg||
nt|sheila a:  needing trumps to come in, it seems best to play W for the Q as can pick up qxxx on that side|pg||

nt|fluffy: how many diamonds does 1@d opening promise?|pg||

nt|bt: better grab that trick while u caqn|pg||
nt|bt: can|pg||
nt|andyv:  it was also a book by Mike Lawrence|pg||

mb|2N|nt|runnerup: 11 in @h by guessing -this is more challencing|pg||
nt|rv: sry 3 card drury|pg||
nt|fluffy: nystrom's hand is good, but having the strong opening on his right is not particularilly appealing|pg||
nt|vugraphznx: well, bertheau had thought very long before taking @sQ, so he had last trump|pg||
mb|p|nt|ady: 6@S a save against 6 of a red suit|pg||

nt|psyck:  they reached 7@s after 5N bid other room|pg||
nt|rv: I much prefer 5n|pg||
nt|panosk: 6@D or any other similar bid in their system says "have interest in 7 spades do u have something more that you didnt say and can help"|pg||
nt|ady: south might have been more active  after 1@D overcall to give much less room    |pg||
nt|rv: Versace still possibly has enough to bid grand|pg||
pc|d2|nt|vugraphznx: N asking|pg||
nt|panosk: usually "somethng more" is a long suit that runs pretty easily, a source of tricks|pg||

mb|2D!|an|majors|nt|andyv:  ty Martin and everyone joining us...a wonderful start for Sweden who almost pitched a shut out the first 16 boards....still plenty of boards to play so this is far from over.|pg||
nt|fabsayc: this table is pretty fast, play in next segment will start in 1 hour and 20 minutes|pg||

mb|1S|nt|runnerup: so last board here -possible 4 @h |pg||
nt|psyck:  even playing in slow mothion will not produce any noticeable swing here|pg||
nt|sunsamvar:  tx all. has been entertaining|pg||
nt|rv:  if someone utlilizes that much time, he will straight get a spot in Roland's list of top 5 slow players|pg||
mb|p|mb|2S|nt|yuval10: can EW enter the bidding and find their @c fit?|pg||
nt|yuval10: NS that is|pg||
mb|3D|nt|granguru:  6@C|pg||

nt|yuval10: guess not|pg||
mb|p|nt|sunsamvar:  tho a mite disappointing for Indian fans|pg||
mb|p|nt|yuval10: the play in 5@c could've been interesting|pg||
nt|yuval10: Fredin can imagine his partner has @h's, but will he X with such a poor @s holding?|pg||
nt|hlortz: thx to our great operator and kibs who kew the ns system better than we did :)|pg||
pc|dJ|nt|fluffy: bertheau has to pick between biddign 4@s or bidding hearts so that partner can make a good decision later|pg||
nt|fluffy: he picked the straightforward spades wich worked pretty well|pg||
nt|fluffy: defence might promote a trick in diamonds if declarer missguesses, but that's only the third trick for the defence|pg||
nt|fluffy: thx Henry|pg||
nt|hlortz: to gonzalo [fluffy[ for great analysis and to bbo for putting this on 5 sessions more to come - i am off to bed 330am here in seatttle|pg||
