Landen was playing with Pratap Rajadhyaksha; their teammates were Dan Morse-Bobby Wolff and Adam Wildavsky-Doug Doub. With one round to go, three teams were closely bunched: Landen, Malcolm Brachman (Chris Compton, Mike Passell, Claudio Nunes, Fulvio Fantoni) and Nick Nickell (Richard Freeman, Jeff Meckstroth, Eric Rodwell, Bob Hamman, Paul Soloway). Brachman split their round – 1.5 to 1.5 – while Nickell got only 1 on the round. That put Landen on top with 33.14, followed by Richard Schwartz (Michael Becker, David Berkowitz, Larry Cohen, Zia Mahmood, Michael Rosenberg) with 31.12 and Nickell with 30.65. Landen and Rajadhyaksha claimed their second North American championship as a partnership; they won Open Pairs II at the 2000 Spring NABC in Cin- cinnati. Landen won the same event at the 1990 Spring NABC in Fort Worth. Morse and Wolff won their second North Ameri- can championship at this tournament – they were mem- bers of the winning Senior Knockout Teams earlier in the week.

  • CONTEXT in BIDDING by Maritha Pottenger
    CONTEXT IN BIDDING by Maritha Pottenger Bridge auctions depend a lot upon the context. The same bid can mean several different things, depending on who makes it, when it is bid, and what has been bid before it. A common example is the 2NT bid. If your partner opens a major; RHO passes and you bid 2NT, that is usually Jacoby 2NT—showing a forcing major raise with 4 trumps, no singletons, no voids, and an opening hand (or better). Jacoby 2NT and Splinters are reciprocal bids, so using Jacoby 2NT denies having a hand that could splinter, i.e., you do not have a singleton or a void. If your partner opens a minor, RHO passes, and you bid 2NT, most people play that as Limit 2NT (11-12 HCP), but some people play it 13-15 HCP. (Discuss with your partner!) Clearly this bid also denies having a 4- card major. If you have a 4-card major, bidding that suit should be your first response to partner’s minor because a 4-4 fit usually plays a trick better than notrump. If your partner opens a suit and RHO doubles, 2NT by you is usually Jordan 2NT. It promises a limit raise (or better) in your partner’s suit. (Some people play Jordan 2NT only over major openings.) Since you can use Jordan 2NT to show the Limit Raise (or better), a jump raise becomes weak. A redouble implies no fit (and desire to possibly double the opponents). Over opponent’s take-out double, a new suit is forcing at the one level, but not at the two level.

  • Practical Slam Bidding Ebook
    Practical Slam Bidding ebook RON KLINGER MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR BIG HANDS INTRODUCTION Slam bidding brings an excitement all of its own. The pulse quickens, adrenalin is pumping, it’s all systems go. The culmination can be euphoria when you are successful, misery when the slam fails. The aim of this book is to increase your euphoria-to-misery ratio. Of all the skills in bridge, experts perform worst in the slam area. You do not need to go far to find the reason: Lack of experience. Slams occur on about 10% of all deals. Compare that with 50% for partscores and 40% for games. No wonder players are less familiar with the big hands. Half of the slam hands will be yours, half will go to your opponents. You can thus expect a slam your way about 5% of the time. That is roughly one deal per session. If you play twice a week, you can hope for about a hundred slams a year. Practise on the 120 deals in this book and study them, and you will have the equivalent of an extra year’s training under your belt. Your euphoria ratio is then bound to rise. How to use this ebook This is not so much an ebook for reading pleasure as a workbook. It is ideal for partnership practice but you can also use it on your own. For each set of hands, the dealer is given, followed by the vulnerability. You and partner are the East and West. If the dealer is North, East comes next; if the dealer is South, West is next.
