Bjørn Wirkola was a world class Norwegian ski jumper. Hegrand got that nickname because he prefers to jump to the final contract as ... Walddk3: soon as possible sybarra: leave site up behind BBO and it updates reisig: made the shorter route to 3N than I would sybarra: who is cute guy on right of screen roland? reisig: ME! sybarra: sorry did not recognize you :-(( Walddk3: Gunnar Harr, regular BBO'er sybarra: he may be a "keeper" reisig: walk the dog sybarra: or maybe the ice machine? Walddk3: I notice a bar in the background. That won't be this full for very long Walddk3: ja, foreslår at vi sjekker utviklingen i det skapet utover turneringen :) said one of our commentators in the closed room sybarra: which means? Eggy: Was he correct? Walddk3: Yes, I suggest that we check the development in that bar during the event :-) Eggy: Are we not playing WBF rules then :¬) sybarra: looks like in cam. they are reaching for drinks? Walddk3: They don't apply N of the Polar Circle sybarra: here : http://www.nordpol.no/kamera.htm Walddk3: As usual Wirkola jumped to the final contract in the closed room Walddk3: Are they reaching for drinks now or what? raija: nice return raija: declarer can relax now :) sybarra: board 7 was not "our" best reisig: down 1600!! Not their best result Walddk3: Was Wirkola, he jumped Walddk3: The result was not succesful sybarra: jumped then XX \ reisig: XX is a shortcut to the bar Walddk3: putting maximum pressure on the opponents? :) sybarra: ja sybarra: and your lead Richie?? reisig: any King raija: and your 2nd choice would be? sybarra: hmmm difficult from south Walddk3: Harr er blindemann og er nok ute og drikke forfriskninger :-) Walddk3: Harr is dummy and is probably out to get a drink :-) reisig: ahh ..South on lead ...still under drugs Eggy: I think he'll need a few sedatives at scoring up Rich reisig: :))) Walddk3: Someone earns the right to milk the cown in the morning, I am told Walddk3: cows reisig: A friend asked me ...how do you go compare with a -1600 score sybarra: least loser? or loser? Walddk3: Loser Walddk3: It's a kind of individual sybarra: aha Walddk3: If you look at the web site, you will see that the same players appear on different teams sybarra: I think with -1600, you say "they made a great lead" raija: i think you have to say i mismoused Walddk3: http://www.nordpol.no/Farmenfestival2.htm raija: and they didn't let me undo reisig: I'd go directly to the bar sybarra: I like your excuse better raija Eggy: I think the expression at the poles is "I am just going out, I may be a little while" sybarra: lol steve reisig: that's great! Walddk3: http://www.nordpol.no/kamera.htm for live webcam pictures autorefresh every minute Walddk3: The bottles are still pretty full as you see Walddk3: Won't be tomorrow for sure sybarra: this is penultimate hand Eggy: I suspect there are already some empties around as well raija: and a biggie otherwise too sybarra: which 7 do you want to play? raija: 7!H Eggy: 7NT sybarra: nt if I can get there sybarra: but it is not match points raija: at least there will be no ruffs if you play in 7NT Eggy: the HJ makes a big difference sybarra: and not K to say sybarra: in west Eggy: A chance for Wirkola to atone? Jump to 7 and redouble .. Eggy: even if they don;t double raija: would be a good idea taking the State of the Match into consideration reisig: Was gonna say ...who would X?? reisig: Should East bid 7? Eggy: There was an auction in Manchester once that went PPP 4S, PPP Redble, PPP sybarra: I think the east hand was not easy to bid, raija: some people show the extra trump as the queen, would have worked here sybarra: but leaping to 4 nt, short of shut it down Eggy: when it made up 1, East and West both shouted at each other for doubling sybarra: there was no bidding that suggested the !C fit was there reisig: The problem (to me) started with the 1!s response sybarra: what is your choce instead of 1 !S? reisig: 2!c raija: 2!C sybarra: I thoght the problem was the 4 nt bid sybarra: and I like 2 !C also sybarra: this is last hand of this set sybarra: We especially want to thank John Edgar-Pedersen the organizer sybarra: and Paal to you our wonderful operator on site Eggy: amazing, is the next set at sun rise? sybarra: we begin tomorrow again at noon (Paris time) 6 am in NY Walddk3: Paal is also the man behind the web cam sybarra: and thx to my co commentators, Raija, Richie and Steve Walddk3: As he was during the Summer Festival at Lillehammer this year, and Trondheim last year reisig: are we done? sybarra: and thx to Roland, who "orgainizes" us Vugraph116: thx all raija: thank you all! and vi ses igen! see you soon again! sybarra: and also thx to specs, the comments are great!

I_am_ready->Lobby: 2 players hereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee valerieh->Lobby: 1 expert+ needed @valerieh Walddk3 (Kringkasting): Our live vugraph broadcast from Norway starting now. Open room for English, closed room for "Scandinavian" commentary HedyG: hello everybody!! HedyG: welcome to the Farmen Invitational weekend! HedyG: hello to our operator Paal Fondevik:) Walddk2 (Kringkasting): Closed room (Scandinavian commentary) is also up now HedyG: in East the name is Marstrander, but too long.. HedyG: on the website http://www.nordpol.no/Farmenfestival2.htm HedyG: you will find the system played by all...except the NS pair here, who play precision Walddk3: Good morning to Jim Hay from Scotland ahh: hi all HedyG: hello Jim:)) welcome! ahh: hi Hedy :) Walddk3: Good morning to yet another Scotsman: Liz McGowan HedyG: i have surfing on "the farmers" website:)) great photos of the wild north and his life there ahh: hi Liz HedyG: hmmm CuttySark: Good Morning Walddk3: And good afternoon to Rick Wakeman from South Korea shoeless: Hi all HedyG: good morning Liz:)) the Scotswoman! HedyG: hello Rick:)) CuttySark: It's a bit early for that double! HedyG: it is 0°C up there this morning shoeless: is it above the arctic circle Hedy? CuttySark: So the blood is bypassing the brain? HedyG: we are north of the arctic circle! shoeless: you are quick HedyG: yes Rick! snow and all shoeless: brrrr HedyG: there is a webcamera on http://www.nordpol.no/kamera.htm ahh: last year i played in tromso in may couldnt sleep it never got dark Walddk3: http://www.nordpol.no/kamera.htm for live webcam pictures. The page is auto- refreshed every minute during the tournament HedyG: i believe it shows the players in closed room Walddk3: Please note that 1 bottle has disappeared from the drinks cupboard overnight! HedyG: indeed! ahh: just 1? CuttySark: A large one? Walddk3: 75 cl HedyG: well it did look like a schnaps bottle, so...... HedyG: is this Lappland Roland? Walddk3: Good morning to Steve Eginton from England. Did you drink that bottle missing from the drinks cupboard overnight, Steve? HedyG: welcome Steve:) shoeless: hi Steve Walddk3: No, Lappland is in Sweden and part of Finland Walddk3: Norway does not have a Lappland HedyG: oh ok Walddk3: We are way North of the Arctic Circle HedyG: it thought it spread way across the North Walddk3: Hope the pc's don't freeze HedyG: the place looks well heated HedyG: 1 of the players in short sleeves Eggy: Sounds like Newcastle CuttySark: They are tough in the North HedyG: lol Walddk3: East is in 3NT in the other room HedyG: just the way we like them, right Liz? CuttySark: Right! Walddk3: On board 11 that is :-) HedyG: :)) CuttySark: I didn't like his chances on this board! shoeless: that spotws the jack for him CuttySark: Looks wrong to ruff in in fornt of dummy - I think he needed to dscard a heart to have any chance Walddk3: Hei, når du får tid, så sæt lige flag ved siden af spillerne Eggy: good tip Liz CuttySark: Yes - ruffing in is almost always the wrong thing to do ahh: slam zone here HedyG: 15-17 NT CuttySark: Really?? HedyG: uprating this hand to 1nt should get them there quickly shoeless: lightner double may come into play - oops pre-lightner CuttySark: Anyone able to stop in 5NT now? HedyG: 2!c is a nonforcing stayman CuttySark: But 3H must be forcing ahh: good shot HedyG: very good bid HedyG: rightsided the contract again! Walddk3: I'll identify the players on the picture in a minute Walddk3: They are from the closed room HedyG: so since he knows where K!s is the finesse of J!c seems a must Walddk3: Rune Andersen with front to camera shoeless: not much else to do CuttySark: One of the problems with lead-directing doubles - they can direct the declarer play also HedyG: X of 2!s was not a good idea! HedyG: since Marstrander opened 1nt chances were that S would be on lead so the X really doesnt seem to make sense CuttySark: I sympathise - no reason for East to have that !C10! CuttySark: And he thought they were playing in hearts Eggy: as it happens, but you not doubling may prevent partner leading a spade to 6H when it's right HedyG: he could have J!c to make his minimal 1nt opening CuttySark: Agree, Steve - when you don't double partner never makes the right lead anyway! HedyG: rarely does when you double as well:)) CuttySark: A kibitzer points out that !C10 is irrelvant when South has Ax, but I wonder if he would play for that? HedyG: http://www.nordpol.no/Farmenfestival2.htm Eggy: Well there is a strip squeeze if South has the Club Ace anyway HedyG: i strongly recommend you have a look at the website! it tells you a lot about ths weekend and is very well done! CuttySark: So this hand may take a little time to play? HedyG: does he really have a choice? Eggy: He should play a club to the K, when it holds, he can strip South to the bare Ace even if he held AJx Walddk3: Correction: Our operator in this room is Stein Eliassen (vugraph116). Fondevik is playing in the closed room HedyG: he seems to have decided to play a squeeze combination Walddk3: Velkommen Stein! HedyG: sorry Stein:(( Eggy: I can't see why leading the club when he could was wrong HedyG: so the players are taking turns as operators:)) Eggy: now its a normal squeeze with the count Eggy: lucky to change his mind at the final hour Walddk3: Fondevik was up at 4.49 to milk the cows, so he is shattered HedyG: lol shoeless: cards lie nicely for 3nt Eggy: so are the cows I imagine HedyG: i doubt they went to bed early...... Walddk3: Was early, 4.30 Eggy: :¬) HedyG: i think this weekend is a bit about bridge..and a lot about 12 guys getting together for the weekend and the food and disappearing bottles HedyG: what a wonderful idea shoeless: can come to 11 if he plays clubs well Eggy: Up here I suppose, night falls, they play a bit of bridge, have a few beers and wake up at sunrise shoeless: hard to play them poorly Eggy: round about February HedyG: 2way checkback explains the 2!d bid, it is a forced bid shoeless: night doesnt fall in February it stays all day Steve CuttySark: Just adding a round of bidding for no obvious reason? HedyG: no sry HedyG: what was 2!d?????? CuttySark: Must be a major suit enquiry, tho you would think 1NT denied a major CuttySark: 2!D= no major? HedyG: i should think so CuttySark: Not the best line in clubs! HedyG: maybe just a relay bid Walddk3: 4 matches of 12 boards to be played today; this is the first Walddk3: http://www.nordpol.no/Farmenfestival2.htm er linket til den officielle hjemmeside med megen nyttig information, resultater og bulletiner CuttySark: Doubt West expected to be on lead ever - he has not thought what to do! Walddk3: Sorry for the Danish, you know what I mean shoeless: time to hook the spade and get this contract home before something else goes wrong HedyG: not good enough? CuttySark: I think he is a trick short shoeless: right he his shoeless: is CuttySark: Nice - don't cash your winners, give partner his HedyG: oh well...... they have had a tough night.. CuttySark: Anyone know the best percentage line with that club holding? shoeless: now here is a decent slam shoeless: no Liz was wondering the same thing? CuttySark: C,mon, there's an expert out there somewhere.... HedyG: i could look it up if you insist:) ahh: should be at everybody's fingertips shoeless: the odds of playing it wrong have to be worse than playing it right to my mind ahh: well he has chance to redeem himself CuttySark: True. For 2 tricks you should probably start with the ace CuttySark: For 3 tricks, run the 6 shoeless: well 6c was there on a diamond hook but this looks safer CuttySark: General agreement is that declarer's line was the worst HedyG: seems to be small to the 10 and then Ace ahh: will he risk !D finesse CuttySark: OK, thanks everybody, I think I have enough answers! shoeless: not sure why ahh: i was kidding :) shoeless: stranger things are done in the land of the midnight sun Jim CuttySark: See the other room has finished board 1, Tromso are in the lead shoeless: are these names of areas or cities in Norway? CuttySark: Yes Walddk3: Some are counties, some are cities if you are referring to the team names Walddk3: Sortland is a country, Tromsø is a city Walddk3: county shoeless: east west did well to buy this CuttySark: Well - it was 2 down if North had taken his heart ruff ahh: will drift 1 off HedyG: i think i had it wrong..page 235 in the Roudinesco book seems to suggest small to the 7 except if LHO puts in the 9 or an honor CuttySark: Thanks Hedy. The master has spoken HedyG: not enough to have the book! need to know how to use it:(( Walddk3: Sortland is not even a county I am told; an area rather, in Nordland county ahh: and claim next Eggy: how large are the bridge playing populations Roland? ahh: bd 2 flat same x of 5!S ahh: 3nt or 5!C ? CuttySark: Strangely, Board 3 is also flat shoeless: they didnt have Hedy's book either HedyG: lol HedyG: Roudi's book is priceless! shoeless: kib says the likely do have it but didnt use it CuttySark: Not allowed at the table! shoeless: I usually write those kind of things on my chair seat and peak down when I need some guidance CuttySark: Trouble is, there are too many! ahh: no use if you are east west Eggy: Interesting the encyclopedia says play the J and if that loses, finess the 10, if covered, finesse the 8 next time shoeless: I tell the director I have a special chair for my bad back and carry it with me ahh: bad back ? cant carry chair shoeless: push it sorry have it fitted with special wheels Eggy: keep up Jim ahh: see the expert x examination shoeless: if you insist on cheating you have to invest in hi-tech stuff like wheels CuttySark: Expensive habit? shoeless: well placed contract that ahh: bit of fun here CuttySark: The lead has doubled, overtrick on board 4 ahh: Marstrander is a great player very nice guy too for a dentist :) CuttySark: Fizzled out - I suppose that was predictable Walddk3: A very tall dentist even Eggy: King is correct here shoeless: up and nicely put away ahh: he has read the book HedyG: lol HedyG: its a big book! HedyG: 3!d? ahh: 4!H or 4!S for n/s ? Eggy: I have been asked why K is correct, it is because you can pick up one of the 3-1s , i.e Qsingle offside ahh: breaks means this needs a little care shoeless: king of clubs is a nice helper ahh: sure is shoeless: well my rule would work here shoeless: two way finesse the queen is always behind the jack ahh: he is down now i think shoeless: appears to be ahh: will need to blame the missing schnapps CuttySark: If !S9 was a singleton he expected a 3-2 break HedyG: !c not splinting wont let him make this ahh: dummy sort of squeezed ahh: tough hand Eggy: Risky defence though, did the Schnapps prevent Marstrande from cashing out CuttySark: Very ahh: thru 6 bds only 2 imps HedyG: usually means good bridge:) CuttySark: Tight bridge, in every sense of the word? HedyG: yessssssssss! ahh: any views in general re 1nt overcall ? is raptor the way to go now ? HedyG: the weaker you are the more you should transfer your long suit IMO HedyG: 1nt was a normal overcall CuttySark: Explain raptor for the ignorant, like me ahh: not just on this hand HedyG: 16 HCPs and 1 and 1/2 stoppers ahh: 11-15 4 card major and 5 card minor is polish or raptor 1nt overcall CuttySark: Not my style! HedyG: Raptor= 5+ minor and 4card Major HedyG: it works fine:) shoeless: Ellingson likely going to wish he had bid a diamond Eggy: so what do you do with the strong balancesd Jim? ahh: pass CuttySark: I have limited experience, but it has yet to work well against me! HedyG: you double Eggy: so we have agreement there then :¬) HedyG: lol Steve! ahh: :) with 15 -16 pass stronger hands x if you wish Eggy: personally I am not a fan of doubling with balanced hands shoeless: that club pitch by declarer was a bit costly HedyG: discarding a !d ducking 1 !c would have worked better here HedyG: much better even ahh: rationale behind passing is they play the hand misread as never expect you to have all the points HedyG: goulash time! CuttySark: That lead now up to 3imps! Pretty decisive. HedyG: 11-15 6 card !c or 5 !cs and a 4 card Major HedyG: 2!d relay CuttySark: 2NT maximum with no 4card major HedyG: 2nt strange shoeless: denies 4c M shoeless: shows the long club hand ahh: asks for 3card major no doubt HedyG: yes but with a singleton? CuttySark: 3!C would be minimum CuttySark: (I'm guessing!) shoeless: makes sense CuttySark: 3!D asking for 3card major? Who knows? Eggy: certainly looks that way shoeless: or just so invitatioinal 5-5 Eggy: Harr thinking of doubling? HedyG: maybe just what to lead ahh: no getting the schnapps in Eggy: or just looking for his glass perhaps HedyG: hm.. shoeless: not that cared shoeless: card HedyG: !s lead works well HedyG: tough with QJ? ahh: easy make this time HedyG: or not? Eggy: another heart? HedyG: !c shoeless: down to a spade loser now shoeless: oops 2 HedyG: going down now Eggy: had he forgotten that the DK was still outstanding shoeless: yes ahh: i should keep quiet about declarers prospects HedyG: must have or would have discarded a !d Eggy: only thing I can think of HedyG: all your fault Steve! shoeless: not sure would seem that way when he didnt pitch diamond HedyG: shame! after no !s lead.. Eggy: I think it was cold on any lead wasn;t it? HedyG: penultimate board ahh: yes ahh: cold but not declarer proof HedyG: lol Eggy: always cold in the Farmen international I suppose Eggy: Invitational I mean HedyG: S opened very light in the closed room ahh: i open it Eggy: horrid misdefence there after a great diamond lead HedyG: you open that Jim? ahh: 1st board remember after milking the cows Eggy: I prefer to open South to West ahh: good suit 2 aces HedyG: yes you have a point, dont like the W hand CuttySark: Yes, but the singleton ace is bad and the clubs are poor. Don't much like the West hand either! HedyG: and you dont get a !h lead if you dont bid them Eggy: and the KJ doubleton are horrid ahh: would prefer ace was not single but safer to open then overcall say in quick out quick HedyG: yes they are HedyG: get in as low as you can? ahh: nice switch ahh: if you are a dachshund yes shoeless: or a limbo star HedyG: yes, but looks automatic when looking at dummy HedyG: Jim the limbo star!! shoeless: how low can he go? Eggy: doesn't sound very likely HedyG: lol ahh: i'll work on it :) HedyG: :)) CuttySark: And there is work to do...... shoeless: comes to finding the jack of clubs again shoeless: oops Eggy: I think that declarer should have a complete count ahh: still okay if he gets !C right Eggy: north must play the 9 now HedyG: if N plays 9!d... HedyG: :)) HedyG: wd! ahh: well done HedyG: now he doesnt have count Eggy: but would South play this order with 8765 (8 then 6)? HedyG: should have played Q!s ahh: moment of truth HedyG: wd!! Eggy: already passed Hedy shoeless: another push in a long list of them CuttySark: Remarkable scorecard! HedyG: and last board coming up!

HedyG: does that show 14 HCPs? raija: i don't think south's hand is good enough for a neg double HedyG: not in HCPs , no but he is 5 5 in majors raija: so if there is something for us, pard might be able to reopen HedyG: maybe he knows Anderssens style:) HedyG: small !s twice works for -1 stewball: but if he assumes the dblr has the !s Ace..... stewball: :) HedyG: the doubler has shown AK!H, K!c;Q!d stewball: a grand hand HedyG: he really thought Anderssen had only KJ!d? sybarra: penultimate board in this room HedyG: last board up now! sybarra: right sorry HedyG: Thanks to our operator ,Paal Fondevik.

Gerben42: notice that if you click DF you will see green for NS Gerben42: but dont let that fool you rv: split !s and !d menace, need to give up a !c, actually 6!c is a decent contract if !cs break 32 Eggy: Pity North didn;t try 6C, although the trump break will probably beat that Gerben42: declarer would have to make a double !D finesse dropping the 8 for that Eggy: Only one pair would play for that lie Gerben42: lets not start that shoeless: :o)) Eggy: and I think they are hors de combat Walddk2 (Kringkasting): Open room from Estoril is back rv: entries not suitd to play for 5 !c tricks (doubleton !k or T) Eggy: ythe pointed suit squeeze looks the best chance, rv: in practice he will play for doubleton !DQ or !s, !d squeeze against west Gerben42: will have been a good try rv: not many pairs have mechanisms to show 5 Gerben42: show 5 what? rv: not many pairs have mechanism to show 5+ card minor and then quantitative Eggy: I suppose that he could legitimately have played the DJ (isolate the menace) and then either a conventional or guard squeeze against West Gerben42: ah :) Gerben42: but you might try 6!C after 5!S to show just that rv: yes that is a definite possibility Eggy: should "vienna" the diamonds next rv: I feel the best percentage line is what he took, play for !dq doubleton or simple pointed suited squeeze Gerben42: right, !DK then 2 rounds of !H shoeless: we wont get comparisons until board 1 as this room started at board 11 of 12 and the other room #1 Eggy: He just has to pick a key card in West';s hand, I think all 3 choices are the same odds rv: good pass by North though he has 15 points rv: not a good idea to x unless you have a good lead option Gerben42: i think we saw before that they do not play penalty X of strong NT Gerben42: yesterday Eggy: he same goes if West had opened a weak NT Eggy: Which he almost has rv: even playing penalty x, it is a not a good idea to x with that hand Gerben42: agree Gerben42: but against strong NT penalty dbl is not a good choice in my opinion Gerben42: a !H now to get 3 more rv: this contract should make on the nose if he plays !ha and back now Gerben42: well done Gerben42: a hardfought 90 rv: very few play penalty xs on strong nt, more popular conventions include DONT, Woolsey, meckwell etc Gerben42: good MP result in south Gerben42: in closed rv: not my choice to overcall on that hand Gerben42: at IMPs might prefer the 9-card fit Gerben42: !S suit is a bit too thin for 1!S Gerben42: but worked well here!

Gerben42: ah got it wrong way around Gerben42: now I get it :) shoeless: yikes dont think so Eggy: seems to be a bit short of unbid suits Gerben42: both are just a bit short of everything Gerben42: and avoided the failing game rv: options are pass and 1n after 1!s passed around shoeless: not surte i like the vulnerability rv: South can't get in on a live auction anyway Eggy: not sure I see the point, at any vul Gerben42: results, information, conv. card at http://www.nordpol.no/Farmenfestival2.htm Gerben42: live camera http://www.nordpol.no/kamera.htm Gerben42: but no one in chairs ? Eggy: with those pips there won't be any tricks developped against the known bad breaks Eggy: perhaps they are also watching the bowl rv: average std of bridge very high in countries like Norway, Poland etc, this should turn out to be a good match Eggy: I can''t see if there's anything left in the bar either Gerben shoeless: well there were 12 players invited to this festival - 8 are playing and 2 are operating the vugraph so ... rv: lol Gerben42: that was to be expected, the bar is empty Gerben42: it's the last round Eggy: so the players are under the table shoeless: north south will be happy to have stayed out of this auction Gerben42: even more happy when scoring up rv: biggest leads in Bermuda bowl Chinese Taipei against Dutch and Chnia against SA 20+IMPs after 10 brds Vugraph116: anderssen thinks shoeless: Chinese Taipei has been playing well lately Gerben42: dont worry, the Dutch will get their act together rv: many of the Chinese Taipei players practice regularly on OKbridge another popular bridge server shoeless: Patrick Huang is a commentator on BBO as well Gerben42: more extreme results in the Venice Cup Eggy: France well up against Germany Gerben42: USA1 - Portugal +36, France Germany +28, USA2 Brazil +29 Gerben42: that was necessary return that !S Gerben42: down 1 rv: derserved reward for discplined bridge shoeless: found their way in to the lead Gerben42: grand slam time! shoeless: might be a push Gerben42: 7NT probably best Gerben42: no ruffs Eggy: Looks liek reverse Roman 2S in the closed made it easy Gerben42: reverse Roman? Gerben42: what's that Walddk2 (Kringkasting): Open room from Estoril is back Eggy: Roman 2S is 5+ spades and 4+ clubs Eggy: reverse is with longer clubs shoeless: Namor is the only reverse roman I know Gerben42: think 2!S showed 4!S + longer minor, called Velociraptor Eggy: ho ho rv: tough after this barrage to reach grand Gerben42: jumping jupiters1 Gerben42: voluntary 5!S will excite E Gerben42: well done Eggy: maybe not! rv: wd by Rune shoeless: looked at his aces and pards opener and spades support and counted 13 I guess Eggy: Not much else for West to have I suppose Gerben42: well West wont have many !D honors on the auction rv: thk Rune worked out that pd must have some source of tricks for voluntary 5!s Gerben42: 5!C is on a !D finesse here Gerben42: and !CQ find rv: don't like 2!h Gerben42: rather support !S rv: yes rv: 3!h was 3 off, i wouldn't 4!c with Rune's hand as well Eggy: perhaps 3H inferred some secondary spade support shoeless: larsen on d with that heart cash and spade out Walddk2 (Kringkasting): Open room from Estoril is back. Sorry for the inconvenience, but beyond our control rv: looks like the LAW is not fashionable these days after lot of negative publicity, it still works well in many situations like this one rv: 4!c was clearly out of place in my opinion Gerben42: I still like it a lot for situations where I dunno otherwise Gerben42: missed the !S fit in closed Eggy: I agree Venky, but I think that it's more important to rely on judgement than any rules/laws Gerben42: after 1NT opener Gerben42: might have bid Stayman after 1NT Gerben42: if you hear 2!H get enthousiastic Eggy: doubt if Larsen appreciates that lead Gerben42: not leading a singleton trump is in every book Gerben42: not that you should never of course rv: EW hands fitting very well, but for bad !s break even 4!s is a good contract Gerben42: got his trump trick back Gerben42: and now look at the !S3 :) Eggy: not really Gerben42: just made rv: after 1n opening in closed room, I like bidding 2!c and invite if partner bids 2!h, pass if partner bids 2!s and 2!h o show majors if partner bids 2!d Eggy: an imp at a time Gerben42: me too Gerben42: interesting 4!S bid in North in closed!

Gerben42: whatever it was, it worked :) rv: bridge ability wise these guys as good or better than some of the guys playing in the Bowl- :)) Gerben42: some of these guys have played in the Bowl Eggy: punt I guess, maybe South was Ghestem (S+C) Gerben42: probably, and 4!S was "I want to bid 5!C but better to confuse opps first" Gerben42: unlucky to find partner with singleton !HK rv: you find this kind of bidding at top level where everyone bids one more as insurance to minimise IMP loss Gerben42: otherwise 5!H makes Eggy: The first person I knew to try psyches in partners suit was Zia, anout 30 years ago Eggy: Used to do it at money bridge too Gerben42: anticipating rebid problem good 1NT opener rv: does 2!s some kind of relay or is it !h fit and slam try Gerben42: or both Gerben42: will stop in 5!H with 2 KC missing rv: thank KCB if trump king is offside-:)) Gerben42: and blame it if onside? shoeless: hello Gerben42: blame not using RKCB for that Eggy: not too tough a lead problem Gerben42: Harr claiming?

Gerben42: forcing for me Gerben42: but you are allowed to play that weak Gerben42: but better bid something else then rv: 1n opening with North's hand is definitely not for purists, I am more inclined to support it with 5!hs422 instead of 5!s and similar hand pattern Gerben42: Bermuda Bowl after 14: Sweden Brazil 26 30, Jordan Russia 26 60, Italy Portugal 44 18, Poland NZ 17 32, US2 Egypt 54 21, Guadeloupe England 9 33 Gerben42: Canada Japan 31 47, China ZA 30 17, Neth.
