nt|othered1: Somehow being given a free run from 2@H on should have let them investigate more efficiently.  Or maybe you need to spend more time on continuations after your very definitive ...|pg||
nt|othered1: leaping Micheals call.|pg||
nt|petergill: This Round 9 match is the most vital clash of the 2008 Camrose|pg||

mb|p|nt|petergill: I think 3@C is the positive reply, showing a good fit in clubs, but I'm not sure. |pg||
mb|3H|mb|p|nt|atlantajon: North needs to find the @c lead|pg||
mb|4H|nt|othered1: @C lead is pretty important here|pg||

nt|vugraph188: Good afternoon - welome to Solihull|pg||
mb|p|nt|atlantajon: -1|pg||
nt|othered1: Would you have taken a slower auction as west?  Still would get the @S in the wrong hand.|pg||
nt|atlantajon: I would have bid 2@s over 2@h raise...then you get to 4@s....still from wrong side|pg||
nt|vugraph188: well thught out switch imo|pg||
mb|p|nt|mmmakela: normally 2 NT shows pos|pg||

nt|mmmakela: easy now|pg||
mb|p|pc|c6|pc|c2|nt|granguru: now they need to cash the 2 round aces and 3 trump tricks|pg||

nt|granguru: done|pg||
pc|hA|pc|h4|nt|petergill: 920, a good start for Ireland. After 8 of 10 matches, England lead on 160 VPs, Ireland 2nd on 141 VPs. Ireland need a good win. |pg||

nt|didev: Amsel is new on the team|pg||
nt|Gerben42: should go down after NS have been pushed to the 3-level|pg||
pc|c5|pc|c3|nt|petergill: In Round 10, Ireland play Northern Ireland who are coming last, whereas England have a slightly tougher draw in CBAI, Ireland's 2nd team (the host country has two teams to prevent ...|pg||

mb|p|nt|boltonian2: hi all|pg||
nt|granguru: HI Alex|pg||
mb|p|nt|petergill: 1@C = 11-13 balanced or 17+ any. |pg||
nt|chick: Hello Alex welcome :)|pg||
mb|1D|nt|didev: BCOB also favourite for trial for Europ champs|pg||
nt|Gerben42: the question is here if EW have the methods to NOT play 3NT|pg||
mb|1S|mb|1N|nt|galadriel: Both sides have a double fit, may see a competitive auction|pg||
nt|didev: Cornelis Amsel were by far first in the butler of the round robin of the championship|pg||
mb|p|nt|chick: Patterson-Rees play a 14-16 NT |pg||
nt|granguru: so a in-between NT|pg||
mb|2D|nt|petergill: 1@H = common expert practice to overcall on a  strong four card major if the hand is unsuitable for a t/o dbl. |pg||
mb|2S|nt|mmmakela: wow N took a big chance imo|pg||
mb|p|nt|granguru: tough to beat 1N here|pg||
nt|granguru: probably only a @C could have done it|pg||
mb|p|nt|Gerben42: after an initial @H lead, declarer must find @C|pg||
nt|vugraph35: Hallberg told Piekarek, his partner could have 3 @D, but only if he is 4432|pg||
mb|3D|nt|Gerben42: hmm... he has only 3@D but not 4432|pg||
nt|Walddk8: Welcome to Martin Garvey|pg||
nt|thegarve: hi all|pg||
nt|vugraph188: Hi Martin|pg||
mb|p|nt|granguru: with a @H return if declarer ducked|pg||
mb|p|nt|atlantajon: 590 is this score|pg||
mb|p|nt|galadriel: Well, S didn't find out about the double fit|pg||

pc|d2|pg||
nt|benjy: Good afternoon|pg||
pc|d8|nt|petergill: 3NT fails by a trick or more, so this looks like a good stop by the Irish pair. |pg||
pc|d9|nt|granguru: The lead of AQJxx is most desirable against 3N but no so much against 1N|pg||
pc|dJ|nt|boltonian2: declarer has a lot of options though, which could lead to mistake, discards might be difficult|pg||
pc|s8|pg||
nt|Gerben42: Piekarek did not play the smallest @C, that might be a "Smith echo", don't return @H|pg||
nt|garden2005: rozgrywane bêd¹ mecze 16to rozdaniowe przeliczane na VP na obu sto³ach|pg||
pc|cQ|nt|atlantajon: looks like 2 rounds of spades then @c's is the only play|pg||
nt|Gerben42: but overtaking @HJ was telling also|pg||
pc|c3|pc|c4|nt|petergill: Hi Ben  |pg||
nt|granguru: because you need 7 tricks to defeat the contract (vs only 5 in 3NT)|pg||
nt|chick: bad move, he needed the diamond trick|pg||
pc|cK|pg||
nt|mmmakela: hi Ben|pg||
pc|s5|nt|boltonian2: now he has pitched a diamond from dummy it should be fairly straight forward|pg||

pc|d4|nt|boltonian2: this 1NT looks even less likely to make|pg||

pc|h6|nt|atlantajon: a few more imps for E/W|pg||
nt|didev: some imps for Uccle|pg||
nt|mmmakela: EW has a shot at 3@C so 2@S made good|pg||
nt|geot:  it will be a ping-pong between defenders and Wests hand|pg||
nt|thegarve: 3D was a bit wet, but correct on the blockage|pg||
pc|hQ|nt|galadriel: Oh well EW going to go plus|pg||
pc|h4|pg||
nt|benjy: Crouch will need to play ace and another @D at somepoint to defeat this|pg||
pc|c6|nt|petergill: The club attack is best. The defence needs to shorten South to three trumps before the 13th heart is set up. |pg||
nt|geot: 3Nt is quite normal, and if N/S swap cards an easy make|pg||
nt|thegarve: over 2NT its best to play transfers|pg||

nt|granguru: :)|pg||
nt|boltonian2: :)|pg||
nt|Gerben42: the 2@S might push NS to a seemingly hopeless 3NT|pg||
nt|thegarve: club lead and club return, even if a@c was onside in 3nt|pg||
nt|geot: true, but they must hit it|pg||
nt|geot: 1S xx wud have been interesting here|pg||
nt|thegarve: 2C would have been judicious|pg||
nt|geot: but will not happen|pg||
nt|Walddk1: Hi Károly|pg||
nt|karesz: but a, Bata at the other room was my pupil 35 years ago :)|pg||
nt|Walddk1: Also welcome to Walter Weber from Romania|pg||
mb|3S|nt|benjy: north would do very well to lead a @H|pg||
mb|4S|nt|galadriel: Yep..good old RKCB|pg||
nt|benjy: but a @S is normal|pg||
nt|granguru: good chick|pg||
nt|chick: hehe :)|pg||
nt|boltonian2: this wont impress N overly greatly|pg||
nt|chick: been there done that :)|pg||
nt|boltonian2: I imagine will just bid 4@H, such good clubs don't bode well, although opposite a singleton might not be too bad|pg||
nt|granguru: I said it just to see how many kibitzer are awake hearing us...|pg||

mb|p|nt|karesz: s|pg||
nt|karesz: dabgerous situation|pg||
nt|anatol: Was it before or after you have teached Bata?|pg||
mb|p|nt|benjy: he can make this if he guesses the @C suit|pg||
nt|benjy: looks like a pure guess to me|pg||
nt|mmmakela: won't guess it is my bet|pg||
nt|petergill: @S2 = 4th best - so North lacks a five card suit - so North might have some club length, so North more likely to have @CQ - perhaps? Perhaps not?|pg||
nt|benjy: North looks like he is 4333 or two 4 card suits, assuming they are playing 4th highest|pg||
nt|benjy: but that makes no difference to the odds|pg||
nt|petergill: 1NT 14-16 in 1st and 2nd seat. |pg||
nt|karesz: same time|pg||
mb|6D|nt|Gerben42: 3@C = better than Lebensohl 2NT|pg||
mb|d|nt|Gerben42: good stop by N|pg||
nt|geot: No reason to pull out|pg||
nt|thegarve: if susan stockdale had passed, many do not have the agreement that the doubler should find a lead|pg||
nt|geot: 1NT will play well|pg||
mb|p|nt|geot: 1NTx|pg||
nt|geot: best lead|pg||
nt|thegarve: q@c switch to back it up :)|pg||
nt|geot: Dummys D6 is worthy, East cannot continue diamonds since West has 8-7 doubleton|pg||
mb|p|nt|mmmakela: so S more likely to have 4c clubs and the Q|pg||
mb|p|nt|othered1: can anyone decode this?|pg||
nt|petergill: I just printed out Peter Crouch and Glyn Liggins Convention Card - all 12 pages of it!|pg||
nt|granguru: EW abandoned the fight early|pg||
nt|chick: low diamond?|pg||
nt|granguru: probably it will not work after W openend the hand|pg||
nt|crestatul: Kalcev was my p 15 years ago in Oradea(Nagyvarod) :)|pg||
pc|hK|nt|granguru: lets see|pg||
nt|vugraph14: he heard u :-)|pg||
nt|granguru: At least S is thinking...|pg||
nt|geot: we can see spades are very favourable for declarer, but she doesent, remember|pg||
pc|hT|nt|atlantajon: 2@c is a game frocing relay asking for more info...I think 2@h is good hand with @h shortness|pg||
nt|othered1: It's always nice to know what information is available to the players to see how they deal with it (and if system provides room they need to make accurate decisions)|pg||
nt|atlantajon: after that I think we have continued relay asks....|pg||
nt|stevedr: probably 4c-4s all pass|pg||
nt|thegarve: dangerous pass of 1NT doubled with sch poor spade pips, he should know that Susan has a source of tricks in spades|pg||
pc|h8|nt|karesz: so i came, and the match will be tied|pg||
pc|hA|pg||
nt|atlantajon: that would end it Steve|pg||
nt|mgchat: exagerée l'enchere de 4@h, surtout sur la redemande de 2@d|pg||
pc|h3|nt|crestatul: will be = afret this board|pg||
nt|karesz: what a nice bid in open: after 1 NT by partner nad two majors from the opp simple 6 @c by Magyar|pg||
pc|h2|nt|geot: natural switch, as East also dont see how spades are|pg||
nt|thegarve: with partner short in spades a bid of 2@H seems clear|pg||
nt|geot: I dont know their methods, but think the RD was a bit tough. I wud prefer 1NT on East's cards|pg||
nt|vugraph188: danger hat burgess will go back to Spades i guess|pg||
pc|d3|pc|h5|pg||
nt|atlantajon: 3@c..control of clubs...3@s  first round....4@c re-ask.....4@d first and second|pg||

nt|galadriel: Hmmm, now they can't check up on keycards|pg||
nt|atlantajon: hola roberto|pg||
nt|galadriel: Hello :-)|pg||
nt|othered1: 5@C is natural?|pg||
nt|atlantajon: must be|pg||
nt|othered1: odd, if south has been the relayer|pg||
nt|atlantajon: I agree|pg||
nt|atlantajon: pass or XX would be the responces over 4@hX...pass confirms stiff...XX shows void|pg||
nt|ybob: is 2@H any min hand without 4@H ?|pg||
nt|geot: but that wudhave lead E/W to 2S maybe|pg||
pc|d2|nt|petergill: South has to be very careful NOT to ask for a diamond switch - tricky!|pg||
pc|s2|pg||
nt|atlantajon: good choice|pg||
nt|othered1: Looks like south made the right decision.  I wonder what were the key considerations|pg||
nt|atlantajon: get out of an auction that has gone astray...as soon as you are in a playable place|pg||
nt|atlantajon: I think the response to 4@hX threw him|pg||
nt|ybob: 4@H X ; pass no control , bid = 2º control , XX first control|pg||
nt|atlantajon: yes|pg||
nt|othered1: How do you know a relay auction has gone astray, unless partner has made an impossible bid.|pg||
nt|stevedr: lol|pg||
nt|atlantajon: but I think that he already knew about the stiff...as I think 2@h showed Non-min with heart shortness|pg||
nt|atlantajon: I think he knew partner had made the impossible bid with 5@c|pg||
nt|atlantajon: choices, if the stiff is known, are pass showing stiff....XX showing void|pg||
nt|vugraphu1: 2@H was @S  and a minor 3@S was short @H 4@D was min or exactly singl @H 5@C nat|pg||
nt|othered1: Thank you!|pg||
nt|atlantajon: thanks|pg||
nt|didev: must leave- good evening all|pg||
nt|atlantajon: you are great frederic  :)|pg||
nt|vugraphu1: West had in the same problem|pg||
nt|granguru: Fortunatelly I didnt bet that Coke|pg||
nt|thegarve: very likely to play transfers, so 1Nt would show @c|pg||
pc|h4|nt|geot: Ok |pg||

nt|geot: Now it works fine taking clubfinesse, then a heart towards dummy|pg||

pc|d7|nt|petergill: @H2 was encouraging. even = encouraging is how NS play their first discard. |pg||
pc|dK|pg||
nt|mmmakela: good def|pg||
nt|petergill: Many Souths would wrongly have asked for a diamond switch. John Carroll did well to work out that a heart switch will always beat 1NT, whereas a diamond switch might not.  |pg||
nt|petergill: Of such things are winners made, at bridge. |pg||
nt|benjy: well, if he had pitched a @C then wouldn't south had switched to a @H?|pg||

nt|geot: no:)|pg||
pc|cT|nt|galadriel: maybe not...|pg||
nt|petergill: West is a passed hand, and his partner has 2 diamonds at most, so 3@H cannot really backfire too much, I think. |pg||
nt|petergill: unless partner takes it as fit-showing!!!|pg||
nt|Gerben42: but leading twice towards @DKQ will work also|pg||

nt|petergill: @SA?????|pg||

nt|vugraph35: for all results have a look on http://www.bonn-nations-cup.bridgeverband-westfalen.de/2008/index.html|pg||

nt|Gerben42: only 1 team will play the final from each group|pg||
pc|h2|nt|petergill: West feeling not too good, as his diamonds turn to dust.  |pg||

nt|mmmakela: after @SA he'll swith to clubs|pg||
nt|petergill: England has fielded five pairs so far in the 2008 Camrose. Ireland have used three pairs. |pg||
nt|benjy: I am afraid i have to leave, enjoy the rest of the show everyone (COme on England!)|pg||
nt|petergill: Win @H9, spade to king, then what? That is what Glyn is thinking. But what else can he do?|pg||

nt|Gerben42: Ireland is well ahead in the other group|pg||
nt|Gerben42: a win for Ireland would be very important for them, since their surprise medal 2 years ago in Warsaw, they have had few good results|pg||

nt|mmmakela: ok|pg||
pc|cK|nt|petergill: Then 2@D by East showed 4 or 5 diamonds - hence the leap to 4@D. |pg||

nt|petergill: that was 6 imps to England, possibly putting them 1 VP ahead of Ireland. |pg||
