nt|brolucius: Heather Dhondy and Nevena Senior are former world champions but have been lagging behind the other two England pairs, who at one stage were 1 and 2 in the overall Butler rankings. |pg||
mb|p|mb|1S|nt|brolucius: Looks like a spade game but there is some play (not good) for 6@S.|pg||

nt|brolucius: Strong jump shifts are rarely used nowadays, so 3@H can be used to show a particular type of spade raise (their variant of Bergen).|pg||

nt|brolucius: You could pick up 4 diamond tricks. @D9 to the ace, low to the king and finesse, but that would risk going down.|pg||
nt|vugraphzny: East thinking|pg||
nt|brolucius: Looking at the diamond suit alone, it would be the right play on the 3rd round, by Restricted Choice.|pg||

mb|2H|mb|p|nt|ahollan1: i believe the other dutch pairs play Raptor NT overcalls  so North will bid 1N to show 4@H & 5+@C/@D|pg||
nt|ahollan1: doubt it will make any difference in final contract/result|pg||
nt|reisig: Not the toughest hand to play |pg||
nt|odysseus69: 2H or pass?|pg||
mb|3H|nt|joanem:  better to show your 4 card suit and play the 5/2 |pg||
mb|p|nt|vugraphznz: coffee hand ?|pg||
nt|josj: even better would be 1 top trumps and then @S|pg||
nt|fokal: this may make|pg||
nt|joanem: oops she has not |pg||
mb|4H|nt|lechcold: w 18 sorry:(|pg||
nt|vugraphznz: juz powinno byc dobrze|pg||
nt|josj: and it may go down|pg||
nt|fokal: because of the @h suit |pg||
nt|fokal: but has to guess corrcty in @d|pg||
nt|josj: E will duck the @DA and create a little problem|pg||
nt|vugraphznz: loose 1h,1d and 1c...|pg||
nt|fokal: and not start with @c|pg||
nt|vugraphznz: yes true|pg||
nt|fokal: tough board|pg||
nt|josj: hi Olivier, welcome to join into the commentary :)|pg||
nt|vugraphznz: my bet is on Willard... she will make this|pg||
nt|josj: I tend to agree...|pg||
nt|odysseus69: the minor suit 10s and the weak hearts suggest a pass of 1NT|pg||
nt|joanem: now they will have a bad time in the 43 breaking 42 |pg||
nt|vugraphznz: this can be a swing board|pg||
mb|p|nt|kiwibridge: Lall's fit showing jump shut out the @S in the other room|pg||
nt|kiwibridge: here GeO remains silent|pg||
nt|ahollan1: other room also 3N east  after 1@S open with Fredin passing 1st round|pg||
nt|ahollan1: @HT falling means 2nd stopper in the suit -- and natural attack of @C kills entry to long @H|pg||
nt|joanem: 2s much easier |pg||
nt|joanem: and jill lead |pg||
nt|odysseus69: but 2S also down|pg||
mb|p|nt|joanem: the long suit with long trumps - same principle as last hand |pg||

pc|h5|nt|ahollan1: but Drijver did PASS   maybe dislike combination of 2425 and vul|pg||
nt|odysseus69: that lead was big help - |pg||

nt|barbyh: hello barbara from Las Vegas|pg||
nt|vugraphznz: hi welcome Barbara|pg||
pc|h8|nt|jbgood: only need to find the killing defense|pg||
nt|jbgood: i am told it is not difficult - but i would also say it is not difficult to bid something with GeO's hand - and he didnt:)|pg||
nt|aramesh_:  Hi Barbara-wlc:)|pg||
pc|hK|nt|ahollan1: nice shift|pg||
pc|hA|pg||

pc|h4|pc|h3|pc|hQ|pc|h2|pg||
nt|vugraphznz: nice start|pg||
nt|josj: first hurdle surmounted|pg||
pc|h6|nt|ady: this looks safer   though a club is a little worry|pg||
nt|ady: if North plays the ace and draws last trump   and plays a spade  and plays the 9  and east has the queden  then a 2nd club would defeat the contract|pg||

pc|h9|pg||
pc|c3|nt|drorp: seems like only shot for south is to hope parnter has J@D, i dont really know why he's still thinking... anywyaz chagas will have to unblock (which isn't that hard either)|pg||
nt|mamos: well he can see Qx|pg||
nt|grebrof: maybe easier now after the lead of the K|pg||
nt|grebrof: yeah - Im a beginner at this|pg||
nt|grebrof: :)|pg||

pc|c4|nt|ady: has seen the possible difficulty  and decided on the club finesse    that has resolved any problem|pg||

pc|c7|pg||
nt|grebrof: but ok - it should be easy and it was|pg||
nt|drorp: unblocking in the 1st trick is good techqnique, if you gonna unblock better do it 1st trick possible, just to make it easier on partner|pg||
nt|vugraphznz: careful now|pg||

nt|ahollan1: probably too good for 15-17 NT  especially since they note: frequent upgrades|pg||
nt|ahollan1: 3N=good preemptive raise but i don't think this hand qualifies|pg||
nt|ahollan1: they don't seem to have a bid for "mixed"|pg||
nt|vugraphznz: good pre is about the same as mixed?|pg||
nt|ahollan1: so  what does south do with 5 card support an 10 losers????|pg||
nt|ahollan1: 1N=good 12-15 HCP   usually denies 5@H/@S|pg||
mb|p|mb|3S!|nt|grebrof: I agree Dror - no pointy delaying the signaling|pg||
nt|drorp: chagas didn't open 1st seat, will he overcall now?|pg||

mb|p|nt|drorp: seems kinda scary but he does have a 6 card suit|pg||
nt|vugraphznz: dziekuje za zwrocenie uwagi|pg||

mb|4H|nt|lechcold: w PO Jassem gra 2@S w tym rozdaniu|pg||

nt|reisig: esp if not X'd :)|pg||
mb|p|nt|drorp: south will give credit to that vul lvl 2 overcall, i think he'll compete to 4@C atleast|pg||

nt|ahollan1: 3N=6@D, short @C, NF|pg||
nt|ahollan1: make that 6+@D|pg||
nt|ahollan1: deWijs could show same shape with stronger hand by bidding above 3N|pg||

nt|mamos: hate 5@c there - seems better to bid 4@c the previous round  Job done|pg||

mc|10|nt|drorp: double dummy this contract makes, double finessing the JT of hearts, and chagas might actually make it if he can place Gino with the A@C from the quick double on 5@C|pg||

mb|1S|nt|ahollan1: IF you agree to play the convention with your partner -- make sure you know if 4minor bid is forcing|pg||
nt|vugraphznz: muller has a good hand now with 2 aces, 4 trumps and a singleton|pg||
nt|vugraphznz: though he would prefer to have more high card points in the red suits|pg||
nt|ahollan1: 5@D in the other room  elAhmady running trump interesting squeeze possibilities|pg||
nt|ahollan1: and LOTS of pressure on defenders to discard properly|pg||
nt|ahollan1: jump to 6@D very reasonable here|pg||
nt|ahollan1: don't know if there is any scientific way to investigate staying lower or getting higher|pg||
nt|vugraphznz: but with the hearts the way they are, even 5@d is a difficult contract|pg||

pc|c6|nt|ahollan1: so they're already doing better than the Canadian EW|pg||
nt|ahollan1: but @H played by West    so there is risk of @S ruff|pg||
nt|ahollan1: ZZ   simply  A=3 K=2 Q=1|pg||
nt|ahollan1: with trump lead can still make 12 tricks by guessing south singleton trump and ruffing finesses in @H|pg||
nt|ahollan1: is that reasonable play when contract is 5@D?|pg||
nt|ahollan1: elAhmady still playing   21|pg||
nt|ahollan1: rare situation having Muller table faster than other room|pg||
nt|ahollan1: 5@D was pushed  so only imps from 1st board of the set|pg||
nt|ahollan1: and potential swing here|pg||
nt|ahollan1: Brink opened south hand 3@S|pg||
nt|vugraphznz: many pairs playing 4@h on this board|pg||
nt|ahollan1: a number of pairs play "leaping Michaels" over 3-level preempts too|pg||
nt|vugraphznz: probably not being able to show a 2-suiter over a 3@s-opening|pg||
nt|ahollan1: including Sadek who alerted his 4@D overcall :)|pg||

nt|mamos: just making sure partner knows your suit is Hearts ?:)|pg||

mb|2N!|nt|joanem: popular now to open hands like's East's 1N 4225|pg||
mb|p|nt|ahollan1: 1@S limited by failure to open 1@C|pg||

nt|grebrof: I think basically you should have a @h-stopper for the 1nt-bid anyway - the dbl mainly shows length and it is a suggestion only - S wasnt fooled to pass :)|pg||

pc|sK|nt|jbgood: if the play record is correct, S won 4@s in the other room - 2 down may be a wrong entry |pg||
pc|sA|pg||
nt|grebrof: with the @hs 3-3 this would be an undebid with this lead|pg||
pc|d6|nt|ritong: he has 6@s, he has a @d super stopper, but he elects a third possibility with @h xx  strange|pg||
pc|dA|nt|ahollan1: Cullin's 4/5 approach good save against game but very lucky he didn't push them to a makeable slam|pg||
pc|sJ|nt|ahollan1: i had this auction in my notes but no others, so didn't know options/alternative replies|pg||
nt|odysseus69: in 3NT if declarer plays spade to 9 (unlikely) after ace of hearts then North has to switch to diamond|pg||
pc|d9|pg||
nt|drorp: running the diamond with 10 top tricks could've been seen a bit embarassing if it went K@D, @D ruff, @C to A and @D ruff|pg||
pc|hK|pc|s3|nt|grebrof: well |pg||
pc|h7|nt|drorp: but the chances of that were very slim, and not all saftey plays are worth while, losing 1 imp every time is costly also|pg||

nt|grebrof: how old are these guys anyway - I know Israel has a lot of talented juniors|pg||
nt|ahollan1: everyone will rue balancing|pg||

nt|ahollan1: 2@C game force|pg||
mb|p|nt|ritong: needs guts to do that|pg||
nt|xenya: good decision by N not to compete further|pg||
nt|jbgood: GeO was not as tempted as Lall at the other table - and passed|pg||
nt|kiwibridge: a useful 8 to the Kiwi with 1 to play|pg||
nt|brolucius: Declarer has 4 tricks in the side suits and needs to add six trump tricks.|pg||
mb|3S!|nt|drorp: interesting choice by Gino here, deciding to go slow so he can represent his shape, rather than making a wild preempt at a big level (like 5@D :))|pg||
nt|ahollan1: Sadek's PASS looks much better to me|pg||
nt|vugraphznz: de Wijs is known for his agressive bidding in competition, doesn't let the opps play at low level|pg||
nt|odysseus69: probably forcing|pg||
nt|joanem: 4s is aggressive thought she woudl bid 3s after 1n|pg||
nt|odysseus69: no bad breaks so no problems|pg||
mb|p|nt|ahollan1: south must feel he hasn't shown his hand|pg||
nt|ahollan1: by at least a king|pg||
nt|ahollan1: in the other room  1N-3N   makes more sense to me|pg||
mb|3N|mb|p|nt|brolucius: 2@C was forcing to game, so East could bid 3@H on the next round.|pg||
mb|4H|nt|drorp: Gino and Ronpa are both in early 30s, Gino ex junior for many years, i used to practice with him alot back in his junior days|pg||
nt|vugraphznz: what a lead :)|pg||

mb|p|mb|p|mb|p|nt|vugraphznz: N asking about bids W..|pg||
pc|s8|nt|drorp: Ronpa is a big talent but started bridge somewhat late, so he missed on the junior circuit|pg||
nt|ahollan1: i would bet that Sadek is in the minority and that most won't be able to resist balancing DBL|pg||
nt|vugraphznz: needs to lead a trump to beat this, i think|pg||
nt|brolucius: Since the auction is forced to game, it can be difficult for the players to know if partner has extra values. 3NT is an important bid on the way to a major-suit game. The Serious ...|pg||
nt|brolucius: 3NT shows extra values during cue-bidding, the non-serious 3NT denies them. You can play it either way. |pg||
pc|s6|nt|xenya: no doubt he has seen partner's openings brfore|pg||

nt|drorp: very tough slam to bid, based on the 10 card diamond fit|pg||
nt|grebrof: hardly Chagas "duty" to bid slam, but I guess S has one more bid if Chagas can dig up some @d-support|pg||
nt|mamos: Will EW pass if he bids 4@s|pg||
nt|vugraphznz: woow..the french team are looking for english blood at the 1 level|pg||
mb|p|nt|kiwibridge: Kevin was our great operator, apologies|pg||
nt|ahollan1: actually  1@H with 5@S may just apply to 1st/2nd seat|pg||
nt|vugraphznz: de Wijs passing, probably expecting 2@s with Muller, since the opps didn't overcall 2@s or raise to 3@s|pg||
nt|ahollan1: good stop|pg||
mb|p|nt|xenya: that 5@C overcall is somewhat -- er -- exotic... |pg||
