Both pairs were doingvery well in the first final sessionwhen they met with two rounds to play. TedHoxning~ NorthandJohnny Stevens South! qualified to playin the Olympiad by winningthe very toughToronto Paixs Trials by a hugemargin. Ted hadwon the TorontoTrials eightyears ago as well andhad represented his countrywith consider- able distinction in Sockholm. PeterNagy West!and Eric Kokisb East!had earned the right to competein the OpenPairs by winningtbe MontrealTHals in January. Kokishhad,.won the Montreal.Trials in 1974and had playedwith somenriid successin I as.Palmas. All this backgroundjis to establishtlxat there was somesimilarity in the two partnerships. Thethree- round was to provethat the similarity extended to the approachto the gameespoused by the players, Board 19 SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST Dlr: South V K@3 Pass 1 4 Pass 1 0 Vul E-W 0 A 7654 Dbl, 2 'V 3 0 3 Q 0 974 Pass Pass 4 9 Dbl.' @ KQ.J 9 4 1087 AU. pass 'V J1086 'V A 742 0 2 0 J93 Horning's 3 0 left Kokish awkwardly 4 A J103 4 K62 placed, but since 2 0 always suggests a 4 A632 goodhand {for heaxts!in the partnership 095 style, he persisted with 3 'V.

If North-Southwere goingdown only 100, then 2 4 would haveproduced a great scoxe. If 1 N'T and 2 'Vwere finishing 200 light, the 2 4 would have been a waste of time and energy.

He balancedwith 3 4 in a situation that beggedfor a penaltydouble if he wexegoing one down, At tbe time I thoughthe was crazy, but uponreflection, I think he was probably right to take son;eaction, In any event, East and Westpassed to salvagefour match- points from the rubble, and Horning-Sevens scored 15, Had Horning failed to bid 3 4, Kokish-Nagywould have done very well for -100. Suchis the mathematicsof the game. Bridge is a game of inches, The Open Teams here at the Olympiad have a new format. The competitors are being axranged primarily according to three geographical zones--North America, Europe, and the rest of the worM. The 64 teams entexed in tbe event will compete in 16 four-way matches this afternoon, with one team to be eliiminated in each match That will leave 48 teams, which will be divided into three geographical 16-team groups, Here's how this afternoon's eliminations will be accomplished; Tbe top seed in each gxoup wiH. play the bottom seed a 16-board match--straight through, with no break at tbe bal&zay point Meanwhile, the other two teams will also play a 16-board match. The winners will qualify fox' the next round of play and will have the rest of the afternoon off. The losers, however, will square off against each other in another 16-board match. The winner will advance to the evening's play and the loser will be eliminated. Seeding will be based first on WHF and secondly on how the team's country placed in the 1976 World Team Olympiad, Thai' brings up tbe question of seating xigbts. Each team will be assigned a table number, and its north-south pair will sit at that table, Its east-west pair will sit at another table as instructed by the tournament staff, In each match, the team with the lower number equivalent to a higher seed! will have tbe choice of seats after the other team has seated itself. In these first-round matches, since there is no break, the same players will oppose each other throughout. As stated above, these afternoon matches weal produce a field of 48 teams, which will be divided into three groups, These groups prinmrlly will be ! of North American teams, ! of Euxopean teams and ! of teams fxom the rest of tbe world. After the afternoon session, aH. eliminated teams will be taking part in a Swiss event designed to produce one team to return to the main contest for the semifinals and final. The, conditions of contest for the &vasss are such that teams eliminated in the later rounds of the knockouts w!H. enter the Swiss with a healthy carryover--enough to give them a strong chance to make it back into the playoffs.

It is said that of BrazQ is one of the most brilliant stars of the bridge universe. Whatisn~t known, however~ is that be has the rare gift of beingable to transfer some of bis brilliancies to others. A Daily Bulletin staff reportex wbohappens to be my wife! was kibitzing Chagas and Pedro-Paulo Assumpcaoin one of the early rounds of the Open Pairs. The auction began1 0 Pass Pass to P. P., who balanced. His opponentssubsequently found their way to a game which made, Tbe fiery Cbagaswas adamantin the post-mortem: "It is never right to balance against 1 4 or 1 0!" Which brings us to Board 4 of the second session of the Mixed Pairs:

Dlr: West @ 10 NORTH' EAST SOUTH Vul: Both 7 A 7 Pa ss Pass Pass!! 0 K10643 4 A J975 Chagas bas won a few more titles than 4 AQJ3 0 65 Mary, so when West's 1 0 bid came around '7 K J104 0 9 9 3 to ber, sheheeded Cba-cba's sage advice-- 0Q J98 0 7 5 she passed! 4 Q 4 1086432 Nowthe fun began. I have a pet theory 4 K98742 that one should always lead trumps when a 8652 one-level minor is passed out, as dummy 0A2 usually will produce little more than a ruffing value, So I tried the 04, Declarer produced the OQon tbe second round of the suit, and I ducked smoothly, hoping to retain control, and perhaps fool declarer. Both worked, Declarer continued with the 710, and I rose with the ace, I knew I bad to lead clubssooner or later andagain later!, so I tried underleading,with spectacularsuccess, Declarer won the @Jon the return, and led the M !! to the queen,and finessedagain in spades,and I ruffed. Now I pushedthe 4A at declarer, wbo took the tap and decided to work things out. Lotsa luck! It looked as if Mary had 4 Kxxxxx 0 xxx 0 AKx 4 K, Or maybeit was 0 ~~ '7 ~~ 0 Ax 0 K. Or maybe...it iust didn'i add up. So, blocked as the hearts were remember the classy heart play'~!~ declarer led a smaQ heart to the dummy, and it was all over, I ruffed with the 10, cashedthe 0K and exited with a low club, endplayingdummy for downtwo, Plus 200 and 127.5 of 142matcbpoints. Way to go, Gabriel! Anders Morath and Per-Glov Sundelin of Sweden were considered to be strong contendexs for the Open Pairs title. They did vexy well in the quaMying, but they just couldn't put it togethex in the final. Watch out for these two in the futuxe t

SOUTH WEST EAST BeliLeve it ox not, Boche managed to 1 9 Bouble Passl score ten tricks, 1070 N-S, an absolute Pass Pass/ top. But the real brilliancy came from the young Exench player, Gilles Cohen, who was defending 3 NT in the West seat. Cohen led the +a won by the queen in dummy. Beclarer led a heart to the k«ing and ace. Another spade was returned, won by dummy's ace. South was now home, as he could estabush five diamond txicks. With two spade tricks and one each in hearts and clubs, that added up to nine. Accordingly South led a small diamond from. the table to his own queen. But Cohen coolly pxoduced the 10 ux»der declaxex's queen. South then intended to a diamond to East's assumed K x x holding. When, however, West foDowed on the second diamond lead, South quite naturally came to the conclusion. that East had ducked with ~ K 8, a vexy plausible play, as he would not hop up with the king in the first instance to estabush a suit where declaxer might well have held two small caxcls. Sout'x couxd stdl make hxs contxact by «fxnessxng" the lack but thxs was a duplicate pairs event where overtrlcks are most important,. South therefore went up with dummy's ace,...and the hand collapsed. Bown three was a near top for East-West. Well, done, Mr. Cohen! x,'g W g $ <<: g g ~«

THE VENICE CUP becomes a full-fledged world championship event today when play m the first qualifying round gets underway, One of the pairings in the opening round -- I«orth America vs. Italy -- could easily presage the final since these teams are co-favorites. In the other match thiis afternoon Argentina wiD play Australia, vrith the PhQippines getting a bye. In tonight's second round, the North Americans will have the bye. The pairings wiH. be Argentina vs. Philippines and Australia vs, Italy. Teams qualify for the Venice Cup competition only through their continental zones, just as in the Bex'muda Bowl. All Venice Cup matches will be pIayed using bidding screens a'nd bidding boxes. None of the players has ever used the scx'eens in woxld coD»petition, but the Italian ladies have played matches at home «using them, and the Filipinos have done some practiicing, too. The Americans are familiar with them, but not on a playing basis. The scxeens weal be entirely new to the Australians and the Argentinians, The teams will play a complete round-robin, and the two top teams at the end of five matches will qualify for the final. The qualifying will end Wednesday afternoon, and the final will be held all day Thursday. All qualifying matches wjll consist of 82 boards, and the final weal be 64 deals.
