ROLL OF HONOUR OF THE EUROPEAN OPEN CHAMPIONSHIPS 2003 - 2015

There have been seven tournaments in this series before Montecatini, and 691 medals have been handed out. The most successful nation in those events is, perhaps surprisingly, the Netherlands with 93 medals, 37 of them golds, also the record. Second on that list is France, with 86 medals and 31 titles. Then come Italy (77/24) and Poland (64/17). The United States have 53 medals (19 of them gold) and are the most succesfull non- European nation. Players from a total of 17 nations have won European open titles, including the USA and China from outside of Europe. A total of 33 countries have contributed to the medallists, including players from Argentina and Brazil (zone 3), India (zone 4), China (zone 5), Australia (zone 7) and South Africa and Zimbabwe (zone 8). That only leaves zone 6, who will most probable not attain this feat in Montecatini, since no representatives from Central America made the trip to Europe so soon after their own zonals, two weeks ago in Guatemala. On the individual front, Sylvie Willard leads the pack with nine medals, ahead of Wietske Van Zwol with eight. Catherine D'Ovidio and Bep Vriend have seven medals, but four of them were golds, making them the leading players in Europe. Philippe Cronier is the most successfule male player, with six medals, which is also the total achieved by four more Dutch women players.

A VIEW OF THE BRIDGE The EBL have appointed David Bird, Bill Jacobs, Larry Cohen, Graham Osborne, Mark Horton and Roland Wald to act as BBO commentators. They may be joined from time to time by Jon Cooke and Stephen Kennedy. These are the assignments for the second day of the Championships:

ROUND OF 16 SAKR vs BLUE NOTE MIXED TEAMS Ron Tacchi

First interesting point is did you notice that the pre-emptor doubled the final Closed Room contract? Have you discussed what this might mean West North East South with your partner?

Here East decided to use the Leaping Michaels weapon from her armoury. South not unnaturally contested with Four Hearts and it appeared to West he needed to defend with Four Spades. There are some who say that the pre-emptor should not speak again but apparently this North was not one of them. West now snatched defeat from the jaws of victory when he continued at the five-level (isn’t there an adage about the five-level?) about which South expressed an opinion with a red card. This time there were no mistakes by the defence and four tricks were taken. 15 IMPs to Blue Note and a healthy lead of 20.

East was presented with a difficult problem at her second bid: the opponents had already got to the four-level, you have a monster hand, and partner has opened the bidding vulnerable. Here is another chance to check with your partner that you have the same understandings. Is 4NT standard Blackwood or keycard? If so, in what suit? I suspect Five Clubs showed no aces. One has to admire North’s double, ostensibly asking for a heart lead. He was heading for a bad result but West came to his rescue when he took flight to Five Diamonds which North could definitely double. East retreated to Six Clubs which was doubled and suffered the ignominy of failing by a trick after North ruffed a heart. Should East have bid Six Clubs? She knows she is missing the ace of hearts and if she believes North’s original double then there is a heart
