nt|sybarra: dicey spade suit |pg||
nt|sybarra: but I would open the hand also |pg||
mb|p|nt|roswolf: not really many hands of interest - the dealing computer on strike perhaps!?|pg||
nt|bobholl: paulissen contemplating and still thinking|pg||
nt|roswolf: with no poor breaks any reasonable line works|pg||
nt|roswolf: still he has to plan for a rainy day|pg||
nt|bobholl: he has only 9 tricks if everything breaks without a @D ruff so i guess he'll try that|pg||
nt|bobholl: gib says 11 tricks but he sees 52 cards (just like we :))|pg||
nt|roswolf: probably cdonsidering the diamond guess|pg||

nt|vugraphpl2: schedule www.poznan2011.pl/schedule :)|pg||

nt|sybarra: only 50's  |pg||
nt|ady: good score for e/w|pg||
nt|psyck: E has a choice of openintgs|pg||
mb|1S|nt|pelu: spec when West will open 1@s|pg||
nt|roswolf: this is a slam zone hand|pg||
nt|psyck: any level of @s (1/2/3/4) could be right at this vul|pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: running scores http://b.poznan2011.pl/mxt/r16runda1.html|pg||
mb|p|mb|1N|an| |nt|bobholl: 3 !! not afraid|pg||
nt|pelu: ok :) wrong - again :(|pg||
nt|andyv:  interesting problem for N|pg||
nt|stc: 12 tricks|pg||
nt|sybarra: maybe see another 2 @S here |pg||
nt|psyck: a very light 2@h overcall|pg||
nt|roswolf: so lastarrival is actually 4 imps ahead?|pg||
mb|p|nt|pelu: final contract prob 5@H|pg||
nt|roswolf: north leaps to what he thinks he can make|pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: running scores http://b.poznan2011.pl/mxt/rrleaderb.html|pg||
nt|roswolf: yes the vul is tempting|pg||
nt|xenya: looks like a routine 4@H |pg||
nt|sybarra: that was certainly optimistic, and probably down an extra in 4 |pg||
nt|fabsayc: slam in hearts will look good till you test trumps|pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: Yes|pg||
mb|3C|nt|roswolf: west might have opened|pg||
nt|roswolf: lots od defence in the east hand|pg||
nt|andyv:  pass probably the right move|pg||
nt|ady: 6@H wrecked by bad trump split|pg||
nt|psyck: N naturally smells slam after that bidding|pg||
mb|p|nt|wilkinsona: same auction both tables|pg||
nt|brotherp: difficult play hand yet again|pg||
nt|roswolf: south takes the push|pg||
nt|pelu: W sh X on her 2 Aces now|pg||
nt|roswolf: the northpersons will stamp on this now|pg||
nt|andyv:  S has a couple of lines and both work (duck club and, if no @h switch, lead @d or lead @s and use 2nd @s to pitch @d|pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: I have to restart|pg||
mb|3N|nt|Walddk2: South African Texas = hearts|pg||
nt|roswolf: west passing 1@S is optimistic|pg||
nt|roswolf: wow|pg||
mb|p|nt|roswolf: yup boring bd to finish with|pg||
nt|Walddk2: http://www.bridgeguys.com/Conventions/TexasSouthAfrican.html|pg||
nt|psyck: W could bid more , but guess he thought he had a lot of defensive cards too & could maybe bid more later|pg||
nt|roswolf: ty we will need to keep correcting for our specs|pg||
nt|roswolf: this looks a very odd auction|pg||
nt|peachy: The Running Score link also has incorrect halftime score for this match|pg||
mb|p|nt|pelu: I exp 5-level - wrong - again :(|pg||
nt|stc: with thje 10 @d in NS the slam would be quite fair - how to localize this ??|pg||
nt|oosb: Hi everyone, hi Shirley|pg||
mb|p|nt|brotherp: @c lead more or less kills the defence ...impossible to play the 9  it seems|pg||
nt|wilkinsona: can afford to lose 2 spades it seems|pg||
nt|roswolf: logically should pass now|pg||
nt|psyck: the @s ruff forces 2@h & 1@d losers now|pg||
nt|psyck: on a passive @c lead, dec may have had a chance to lose only 1@h|pg||
pc|d9|nt|pelu: 4-5 defensive tricks and pd did open|pg||
nt|kastan88: Previous board (11) all credits going for Bep Vriend fast 4@H arrival, must be good result for Dutch team, as both 4@S and 5@C are good sacfrifices against 4@H |pg||
nt|xenya: i don't think NS will go any higher or EW will sacrifice in 4@S|pg||
nt|Walddk1: Welcome to Oosman|pg||
nt|mcarroll: the splinter does nothing for N so may dissuade them from slam|pg||
pc|d3|nt|roswolf: are thw men sitting north and west?|pg||
nt|ritong: yes|pg||
nt|roswolf: is this the right board?|pg||
nt|peachy: 3D undoubtedly had specific meaning|pg||
nt|peachy: *4@D I meant|pg||
nt|roswolf: this looks a disaster|pg||
pc|d4|nt|stc: 4@s is a bad save|pg||
nt|stc: and they avoided it, wd|pg||
pc|dJ|pg||
nt|roswolf: -1 or -2 |pg||
nt|pelu: 3x@D best defense now|pg||
nt|sybarra: hello Oosman welcome|pg||
nt|oosb: Ive played against EW, a very solid junior pair|pg||
nt|roswolf: will n/s diagnose the situation?|pg||
nt|roswolf: passing now may be the best idea|pg||
nt|peachy: I did not much like 3C, if 11NT was forcing and 3C gameforcing, the way many play|pg||
nt|roswolf: but 4@D looks absurd i would play it as a splinter!!|pg||
nt|peachy: Of course, 3C could have been a more limited bid with 5-5. I am starting to believe it was not GF|pg||
nt|roswolf: ah a spec suggests v4@D was rkcb - that might make more sense|pg||
pc|h4|nt|pelu: down 2 on best defense|pg||
nt|sybarra: this can be beaten |pg||
pc|h5|nt|sybarra: need to cash ak in both minors|pg||
nt|sybarra: however |pg||
pc|hJ|nt|xenya: as has been pointed out, easy 12 tricks|pg||
pc|hQ|pg||
nt|wilkinsona: the heart J may worry declarer ..|pg||
nt|brotherp: well the @c lead took care of most problems; on a spade or trump lead this looks like an uphill struggle for declarer|pg||
nt|bobholl: @H 41 may be she thinks|pg||
nt|bobholl: than @DK is needed for 3d @S|pg||
nt|roswolf: north will axe|pg||
nt|roswolf: ok he was just as confused as i|pg||
nt|peachy: Nah, Puerre will be happy with plus if it is coming|pg||

pc|d8|nt|peachy: Franck|pg||
pc|dK|pc|d2|pc|s7|pg||
nt|roswolf: on bd 15 the french e/w made 4@S!|pg||
nt|peachy: That was a feat indeed, I thought 3@S was makeable (though it did go down here)|pg||
pc|cA|nt|pelu: ???|pg||
nt|kastan88: Today we broadcast Mixed Teams. 90 teams are divided in groups of 6 and play a complete Round-robin of 10 boards.|pg||
nt|sybarra: with this lead one minor will disappear, |pg||
nt|ady: could be a good score for Duckdates  keeping out of trouble|pg||
nt|roswolf: THEREFORE zIMMERMANN LEAD BY 6 UNOFFICIALLY|pg||
pc|c2|nt|bobholl: nasty surprise in @H won't make anymore|pg||

nt|vugraphpl9: running scores http://b.poznan2011.pl/mxt/swleaderb.html|pg||
nt|fabsayc: is duck and dales whatever that means|pg||

nt|lml: I think they still cant quite make it though on the spade lead|pg||
nt|lml: I dont like the double much|pg||
nt|lml: it may be that they play that Cope was required to bid or double|pg||

nt|ady: club oart score on hand 1 woth 6 imps   2NT down in OR|pg||
mb|p|nt|roswolf: this seems an easy grand to bid|pg||
mb|p|nt|andyv:  22 was interesting as to what N should do...he passed 4@h but 4@s certainly had some followers|pg||
nt|sybarra: part score battle here |pg||
nt|psyck: 12-14 NT i guess|pg||
nt|psyck: 3N now should end it|pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: Maybe x is penalty?|pg||
mb|p|nt|peachy: I'll let you announce the actual score every now and then, Geoffrey, so we won't both do it |pg||
mb|1D|nt|roswolf: strong club in vogue here|pg||
nt|roswolf: no reason not to play in the club partscore|pg||
nt|sybarra: another 2 level contract likely |pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: trapping pass|pg||
mb|p|nt|roswolf: despite the pre-empt perhaps not:)|pg||
nt|bobholl: 4@C explained as @D better(:)? than 4@D |pg||
nt|roswolf: can west do anything more than raise to 6?|pg||
nt|bobholl: 5@D why not ?|pg||
nt|andyv:  big club fit but 5@c probably won't make|pg||
nt|psyck: true, N had the option for pen x|pg||
mb|1H|nt|pelu: 5@c a nice game - not 3NT|pg||
nt|roswolf: 3nt looks favorite|pg||
nt|roswolf: north playing in 2/3nt would be a travesty|pg||
nt|oosb: even balance of hcp|pg||

nt|vugraphpl9: Of course but...|pg||
mb|p|nt|Walddk4: Welcome back|pg||
nt|Walddk4: Hello to Oliver Clarke|pg||
nt|roswolf: the shown score is wrong - LastArrival lead by 4 imps at halftime|pg||
nt|roswolf: therefore the present unofficial score is +6 to Zimmermann|pg||
mb|2D|nt|roswolf: but what next?|pg||
nt|roswolf: but in a Mixed event i suppose predictable:)|pg||
nt|stc: in fact anyway @c to the A is better|pg||
nt|xenya: 4@S on a @H guess here|pg||
nt|oosb: 3@D for EW seems ok, |pg||
nt|sybarra: first ones to 1 nt |pg||
nt|ady: heart lead will wreck 3NT   kill the entry to clubs|pg||
mb|p|nt|roswolf: east is very minimum|pg||
nt|oliverc: hi everyone|pg||
nt|andyv:  very passive bidding by NS|pg||
nt|kaapo: North didn't have a good opening call|pg||
nt|oosb: this might struggle on @C lead|pg||
mb|3D|nt|bobholl: jan will have to take the risk he daoes|pg||
nt|roswolf: no maybe @C will prevail|pg||
nt|andyv:  no, but did have a reopening dbl|pg||
nt|sybarra: a 2 clubs for n/s played by S |pg||
nt|oosb: I see a lot of tricks for defence|pg||
nt|oosb: correction 3@D had 5 losers, 1@s 1@H 2@C 1@D, so -1|pg||
nt|fabsayc: thinking is overbid|pg||
mb|p|nt|sybarra: and how adventurous does E feel?  (not very)|pg||
mb|3H|nt|roswolf: 3nt from north will put the question to south|pg||
nt|sybarra: wise choice|pg||
mb|p|nt|roswolf: if west is there with a punt - sowhat|pg||
nt|roswolf: well good luck comes to his aid|pg||
nt|oliverc: A fairly predictable final contract|pg||
nt|oliverc: Nothing likely to disturb this|pg||
nt|sybarra: isnt it nice when pard leads your suit? |pg||
mb|3S|an| |nt|oliverc: South effectively endplayed on the opening lead|pg||
nt|pelu: no some of the men know the game and can pass :):)|pg||
nt|roswolf: not often though|pg||
nt|kastan88: how high EW going with their hearts 5@H or even 6@H after possible 5@S? NO, just gave up|pg||
mb|p|nt|pelu: on a @D-lead EW can take the first 7 tricks|pg||
nt|andyv:  anyway, pass probably right as 4@s wont make (5@c was made in OR)|pg||
nt|ady: South has done well to keep out of bidding  |pg||
nt|roswolf: now sfter bd16 +18 to Zimmermann|pg||
mb|4D|nt|roswolf: my first prediction was right|pg||
nt|roswolf: still south may run the club Q|pg||
nt|pelu: why not 3@H by S and not 3@S to tell her hand?|pg||
nt|roswolf: north  i meant|pg||
nt|roswolf: fair comment peter|pg||
nt|pelu: yes but then he sh be in 6@C :)|pg||
nt|roswolf: that's true|pg||
nt|pelu: and on a @S-lead close to make :)|pg||

nt|andyv:  in OR, N did open|pg||
nt|kaapo: Yes, 1@D|pg||
nt|oosb: or leads his own suit :)|pg||
pc|c5|nt|roswolf: but bidding a making grand after a preempt is always a good achievemnt so well done|pg||
nt|jtr: Hi guys|pg||
nt|psyck: i thought they may not be playing pen x after weak nt, but pass it stranger if no clear agreement|pg||
pc|cQ|nt|oosb: and happens to find AK with you|pg||
nt|oosb: @h shift after @C for max damage|pg||
pc|cA|pg||
nt|xenya: but 2N can be beaten with careful defence|pg||
nt|fabsayc: why heart 10|pg||
nt|mcarroll: Board 2 NS pushed to 5 @H|pg||
nt|roswolf: yes somewhat self-inflicted|pg||
pc|s3|nt|Walddk4: welcome back to Wiebe de Jong|pg||
nt|pelu: remember the 1@S hand? in OR West open 1@S - and EW in 4@H -3|pg||
nt|roswolf: i like running the queen since opps sometimes dont cover anyway|pg||
nt|xenya: not any longer|pg||
nt|stc: defense had 6 quick tricks but.... |pg||
nt|sybarra: not sure of carding, but udca  just looks like first @D was not correct or not read correctly |pg||

pc|s2|nt|brotherp: hello all|pg||
nt|Walddk4: and Tony Wilkinson|pg||
nt|wilkinsona: Hi again|pg||
nt|bobholl: making fun about ducking the @C twice|pg||

nt|andyv:  and despite misguessing the @c, S had enough time to set up @d for @h pitch|pg||
nt|xenya: once E has discarded a club|pg||

pc|s4|pg||
nt|jtr: Pushed themselves|pg||
nt|roswolf: this looks doome|pg||
nt|roswolf: doomed|pg||
nt|peachy: heart or spade lead would ket it make, but 100% sure those are not coming from South now|pg||
nt|roswolf: club looks natural|pg||
nt|peachy: so his choice is trump or club|pg||
nt|peachy: *her, it is Sylvie|pg||
pc|c7|nt|roswolf: needs the heart switch - |pg||
pc|c3|pc|c2|pc|cJ|pg||
nt|roswolf: hmm north trying a psychological line|pg||
nt|pelu: Easy for W - he can see the singleton in dummy|pg||
nt|roswolf: now passive defence will win the day|pg||
nt|ady: tht that might happen   unforunate to find such a bad trump split    on a good day 6 makes |pg||
nt|jtr: Well, E/W interfered and South felt she had to show her strength|pg||
nt|roswolf: oh no:(|pg||

nt|stc: I think E MUST keep @C, is the only chance to beat the contract|pg||
nt|jtr: Horrible hand|pg||
nt|fabsayc: singleton aces are huge liabilities|pg||
mb|1N|nt|pelu: after the 4. @c play @D from hand - if East play @DK then duck - if smal then endplay on @DK - before|pg||
nt|andyv:  9 imps to denmark|pg||

nt|ady: 3NT  seems about the limit    |pg||
nt|jtr: But there is the liability again:)|pg||
nt|peachy: Well, the thing is we don't know what the actual agreement was. If W misbid, there is no recourse even if damage could somehow be demonstrated. |pg||

nt|roswolf: a conservative 3nt or something more adventurous?|pg||

nt|oosb: goes with 1NT|pg||
nt|oosb: not my choice but might be restricted by strong @c system too|pg||
nt|sybarra: think it is |pg||
nt|ady: may get ambitious and look for club slam|pg||
nt|ady: could actually make 12 tricks if seeing what we see|pg||

nt|oosb: Shirley, pass or 2@H for you?|pg||
mb|p|nt|sybarra: might be just a wk 2 |pg||

nt|jtr: On their way|pg||
nt|fabsayc: 5@C now, anything else is too much|pg||
mb|p|nt|brotherp: cruel @d duplication|pg||
nt|pelu: some would bid 4@D = @s+@d|pg||
nt|roswolf: 12 tricks should be possible now|pg||
nt|roswolf: but not on a club continuation after winning the diamond ace|pg||
nt|psyck: well, not likely to get to 6 anyway, so some game normal|pg||
mb|4H|nt|andyv:  sorry, 9 to france ( was looking at OR results):)|pg||
nt|mcarroll: bidding the liability?|pg||
mb|p|nt|sybarra: tricky hand |pg||
nt|oosb: as the hand is, 4@h is cold|pg||
nt|sybarra: yeah well sometimes like that |pg||
nt|oosb: @d nice and friendly, @H too|pg||
nt|oosb: But I wouldve passed too, so Sawicka wins imps from me on this one|pg||
nt|sybarra: Kacper,  is S the man or the woman?    |pg||
mb|p|nt|jtr: North has nothing much to add|pg||
nt|psyck: hmm, @s's @d's a little too good for 6@d to make|pg||
mb|p|nt|brotherp: impossible @c lead needed it seems|pg||
nt|wilkinsona: chance of a club ruff perhaps|pg||
nt|sybarra: overtake?  and club? |pg||
nt|sybarra: easy for us to see from here|pg||
nt|jtr: Nicely stopped  Not an easy hand at all|pg||
nt|fabsayc: well if it shows singleton ace it actually slows auction so not too bad a bid|pg||
nt|ady: spade goes away onf long diamond  |pg||

nt|ady: defence cant do anything on the spade lay out|pg||
pc|dQ|nt|brotherp: even on a d-lead declarer still has a lot of work to do|pg||

nt|Walddk7: Welcome to Jordan|pg||
nt|granguru:  excellent location of cards for EW|pg||
nt|sybarra: 3 @D a transfer |pg||
nt|fabsayc: west timid|pg||
nt|andreasw:  so 2nt min-max ask?|pg||
mb|p|nt|pelu: a big swing in B3: in OR Fredin-Michielsen stopped in 4@H with 13 tricks from top in 7NT - the problem: a 2@C opening - also calles the "slam-killer" :)|pg||
nt|ampelman: X=points|pg||
nt|pelu: only :)|pg||
nt|peachy: The change in first half score is the result of a TD ruling that went in team Z's favor|pg||
pc|cJ|nt|brotherp: well a @c lead would sink 5@d ...and North might have started with @c Ace |pg||
nt|roswolf: e/w seem to have bid recklessly here|pg||
nt|granguru:  cross ruf can produce a lot of tricks|pg||
nt|stc: last making contract|pg||
nt|oosb: close to 6, but no cigar|pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: exactly|pg||
pc|c3|nt|wilkinsona: yes, as spec says ...|pg||
nt|bobholl: 5 @D was the contract to be in but paulissens pass is understandable|pg||
nt|wilkinsona: and another spec points out the attractions of 3N|pg||
nt|bobholl: 5@D goes down also on 3@C |pg||
nt|brotherp: in the end the 4@H contract in the open room was made because North continued spades when in with the @hA|pg||
nt|bobholl: @C disappearing on @D|pg||
nt|brotherp: with South holding 3@d's that was just enough|pg||
nt|petepunt: tough 3rd bid for North,  but 2@H looks better|pg||
nt|Walddk4: Operator, East's name is spelt  Kuzselka|pg||
nt|pelu: there are 12 tricks - but only with @hs 3-3|pg||
nt|granguru:  so a @D lead is this hand demanding|pg||
nt|granguru:  10 tricks|pg||
nt|jcwla: Often the case on a preference auction.|pg||
nt|stc: was 2@s|pg||
nt|ady: might have tried 2NT|pg||
pc|c4|nt|stc: over board|pg||
pc|cK|pg||
nt|roswolf: 6nt likely|pg||
nt|petepunt: 4NT feels the right spot though|pg||
nt|psyck: ya looks like some kind of ask|pg||
nt|psyck: 2N, like 4m, is never to play :)|pg||
nt|andreasw:  :)|pg||
pc|c2|nt|roswolf: can be made on a minor suit squeeze i think|pg||
nt|roswolf: 5nt pick a slam probably|pg||
nt|bobholl: 6@D easier|pg||
nt|roswolf: might bid a grand i suppose|pg||
nt|kaapo: North may have shown 15-17 NT now, if they play weak NT as seems likely|pg||
nt|andyv:  with no side entries, E might have tried to find partner|pg||
nt|andyv:  with @s suit behaving, declarer should have no problems making contract|pg||
nt|ybob: by any player ,4@C , 3@H at least 1@S ...|pg||
nt|sybarra: well we get to see the play from other side now|pg||
nt|ybob: lead @H|pg||
nt|psyck: i'm told it is a common treatment in France to play 2N as puppet to 3@c with various hands & 3N rebid showed 4@d & short @c|pg||
pc|cT|nt|roswolf: this is more gentle|pg||
nt|sybarra: yes think it will be 10 of ht lead|pg||
nt|ybob: only lost if play @D to A at trick 2|pg||
pc|cA|nt|pauleger: wonder why N puts in @s4 with nothing in @d|pg||
pc|cQ|pg||
nt|kaapo: And the diamond suit is also behaving for the declarer|pg||
nt|oosb: Although its right sided now|pg||
nt|sybarra: 3 @S cue |pg||
nt|sybarra: or forcing or whatever you want to call it |pg||
nt|sybarra: she is bold,  (we have seen)  does she bid it?|pg||
nt|oosb: So if they end up in 6@H itll make, (defence cant mangae @s ruff or @c tricks)|pg||
nt|oosb: known 9 card fit|pg||
nt|peachy: TD = Tournament Director|pg||
pc|h9|nt|roswolf: 7@D CAN be made by the backward finesse in trumps which pins the 10 +9|pg||
nt|roswolf: hardly likely though unless south shows his hand|pg||
nt|roswolf: this may be a long think|pg||
nt|bobholl: it is and understandable :)|pg||
nt|bobholl: s said he'll ask what he shows afterwards :)|pg||
pc|hJ|nt|ampelman: 3NT seems to have 8 tricks on the first look|pg||

nt|sybarra: yes and wins in the long run |pg||
pc|hK|nt|pelu: game need @DA + @SQ in S , so nice stop by EW|pg||

nt|kaapo: Well, the rest of the bidding looks rather odd|pg||
nt|jtr: They did  Well done|pg||
nt|jtr: Now to make it|pg||
nt|mcarroll: best spot for  EW|pg||
nt|psyck: NT has additional chances with red suit breaks|pg||
pc|sA|pg||
nt|petepunt: East suspects the 4-3 fit :)|pg||
nt|kaapo: This lead might help quite a lot|pg||
nt|andyv:  and may have been reason not to bid 2@d (if that weren't conventional)|pg||
nt|kaapo: Will defence find their @S tricks?|pg||
nt|andyv:  but S's first bid seemed to be 1N so they must have some system nuances that we aren't aware of|pg||
nt|stc: a good lead|pg||
nt|xenya: note the cautious 2N by W -- apparently he has seen partner's openings before |pg||
nt|fabsayc: best but probably down also|pg||
pc|hJ|nt|roswolf: hmm n/s didnt even try for the slam bonus|pg||
nt|ewj: I|pg||
nt|petepunt: lot to do here.|pg||
nt|ady: contract may depend on heart guess  |pg||
nt|psyck: 6@c odd key cards with a void|pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: N seems to be surprised|pg||
pc|h2|nt|bobholl: in this bidding the critical singleton @C is not shown|pg||
pc|h5|nt|andyv:  to induce E to continue @ds|pg||
pc|hQ|pg||
nt|ady: will struggle |pg||
nt|jtr: North starting well by concealing the @sQ|pg||
pc|s6|nt|granguru:  declarer will soon claim 10 tricks|pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: N: We have no agreement|pg||
pc|sK|pc|s2|nt|bobholl: he claims with beer card as the last one @D7|pg||
nt|vugraphzhd: Small break now|pg||
nt|vugraphzhd: Standings after 10 of 22 rounds: 1st: Drijver Brink +72 2nd Schollaardt-wortel +42 3rd Jansma-Paulissen +27 4th Cornellisse Krijgsman +23|pg||
nt|kaapo: Well, hard for east to attack spades|pg||
nt|andyv:  and now it doesn't matter|pg||
nt|sybarra: almost only hope |pg||
nt|ybob: not neccesary played 10 °@H , declarers can play it later|pg||
nt|psyck: not a good idea to bid 6@c then, with no agreement N is in the dark about the number of key cards|pg||
pc|s4|pg||
nt|roswolf: yes poor judgment not to show it|pg||
nt|stc: 9@s not best idea|pg||

nt|hedyg: hi :)|pg||
nt|xenya: hello Hedy|pg||
nt|oosb: well done agian|pg||
nt|fabsayc: that wont fool declarer|pg||
nt|fabsayc: q10x lead of ten not realistic|pg||
nt|jtr: North did not know that|pg||
nt|mcarroll: It may have - and encouraged the @H misguess|pg||
pc|h6|nt|petepunt: He needs to play N for the AJ@S for many reasons|pg||
nt|granguru:  now @S is a better discard...just in case Mass|pg||
nt|granguru:  Maas is permitted to ruff twice in dummy|pg||
nt|stc: salut|pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: Now they have :)|pg||
pc|d5|pc|hK|nt|andyv:  and a big swing for Denmark|pg||
pc|h3|pg||
nt|ady: east has 9@S    10@S  led    surely not from Q10X|pg||
nt|jtr: Q108 it is the right card|pg||
nt|mcarroll: True  - in which case the @H play is puzzling|pg||
nt|fabsayc: in any case he now has pitches for club loser|pg||
pc|cA|nt|granguru:  only 10 tricks again|pg||
pc|c2|pc|c5|nt|petepunt: SHe has started very well here :)|pg||
nt|pauleger: ducking the first @h seems better, if East has an entry in @c|pg||
nt|ady: chance with both hearts good|pg||
pc|c3|pg||
nt|stc: surprise, surprise|pg||
pc|cK|nt|pelu: now W can claim|pg||
nt|pelu: E :)|pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: and she did|pg||
nt|ybob: now declarers could be lost if E had 10xx @S and 2 @C|pg||
pc|c6|nt|petepunt: but bad @C break will not be good news|pg||
pc|c7|nt|roswolf: this looks -2 which wont be sufficient compensation for the opposing game|pg||
pc|c9|pg||
nt|jtr: Nice|pg||
pc|c4|nt|pauleger: then you only got 3@c2@d2@h tricks|pg||
pc|d9|nt|petepunt: have to setle for 2 off now|pg||
nt|andyv:  if E was not going to return a @d, perhaps E should not have won the first trick|pg||
pc|cQ|pc|d8|pg||
nt|roswolf: hmm the world champion is about to prove why i commentate rather than play:(|pg||
pc|cJ|pc|s8|pc|cT|nt|pauleger: 3@s i mean :)|pg||

nt|ady: very nice play|pg||
pc|s9|nt|jtr: Very well done|pg||
pc|h8|nt|granguru:  S was worried about losing the @DJ|pg||

mb|p|mb|p|nt|jcomyn: 3s minors i take it|pg||
nt|Walddk7: 2@C is a game-forcing relay|pg||
nt|pitiful:  Roland would bid 1@h-1@s-2@d-6Nt|pg||
nt|Gerben42:  2@C helps them find it - Pass shows no pref.|pg||
nt|blum1956: and the best lead (diamond) will be clear after the auction like this one|pg||

nt|blum1956: Not that easy to find one as West could not double 3@s...|pg||
pc|c3|pg||
nt|lml: a relay auction could get them to 6NT|pg||
pc|hK|nt|ritong: this looks curious, to her|pg||
nt|ralfwil: difficult to defeat this contract with @s 3-3|pg||
nt|ritong: on one hand, pard leaves her on lead|pg||
nt|ritong: on the other hand, he played his lowest @h, so the @d void is not likely|pg||
nt|psyck: pd would not have left on lead of @c right, so will continue @h i guess|pg||
nt|ritong: nah, the middle @h  sorry|pg||
nt|lml: instead of spades|pg||
pc|h3|nt|mareczek: spade leade will not help the defense|pg||
nt|pitiful:  6@h is better than 6@s as well|pg||
pc|hJ|pc|h2|pg||
nt|lml: that may be harder to do since I doubt North can find out about the @HJ|pg||

nt|andyv:  I wonder if it's in regards to the 2@c bid|pg||
nt|kaapo: Perhaps there were different explanations|pg||
nt|kaapo: But we'll what's going on I'm sure|pg||
nt|ady: good score for Penfold|pg||
nt|jtr: She had it made if trumps were 3-2 so did very well to get that right|pg||

mb|4S|nt|vugraphpl9: sorry :)|pg||
nt|roswolf: 4@S E/W HAS PRACTICAL CHANCES|pg||
mb|p|nt|pelu: look at the @S-suit - against 4@h S lead @SK - and N took @SA to play @H = only 3 @S-losers for E|pg||
nt|pelu: 2@D or 2@C by West - I prefer 2@c|pg||
nt|ybob: np :)|pg||
nt|sybarra: for new players,  note the play of trumps,  cashing ace in case an honor drops singleton |pg||
nt|ady: e/w need to stay in 1NT|pg||
mb|p|nt|brotherp: ns are playing some kind of strong club|pg||
nt|kaapo: EW have many possible games here. 3NT was one of the unlucky ones|pg||
nt|sybarra: thx Kacper for all of your hard work |pg||
mb|p|nt|jcwla: This should go down a couple.|pg||
nt|sybarra: 5 @C great contract |pg||

nt|jtr: Another awkward hand to play|pg||
pc|s6|nt|roswolf: this is a horror hand for e/w to bid|pg||
nt|roswolf: well west should bid 6!?|pg||
nt|sybarra: no 3 nt without ht stop |pg||
pc|s4|nt|sybarra: but must avoid 6  of minor|pg||
nt|ady: need to initially play on clubs|pg||
nt|fabsayc: club 8 or 9?|pg||

pc|sJ|nt|roswolf: winning the auction might work out very well anyway|pg||
nt|sybarra: this will be a challenge|pg||
nt|ybob: defeat easy|pg||
nt|psyck: but getting to hand for @s fin not easy|pg||
pc|sQ|pg||
nt|pelu: in OR 2@C and then 2@S = 4. suit - so the NS didnt know the @S-suit by decl|pg||
nt|roswolf: you should as west be able to bid 3@D nf here|pg||
nt|pauleger: I would expect more points or more shape for a 2@s bid|pg||

nt|granguru:  correct* damn|pg||
pc|h5|nt|bobholl: he showed 5@H 4@D and a minimum|pg||

nt|ampelman: losing 2@s 2@c 1@d ?|pg||
nt|pelu: 4 black losers|pg||
nt|oosb: yes, but a very good auction so far|pg||
nt|psyck: wonder if will try @s or @h from dummy|pg||
pc|hA|nt|bobholl: tricky play |pg||
nt|bobholl: with 52 cards open not difficult but |pg||
nt|brotherp: best lead|pg||
nt|bobholl: jansma does that (too) often :)|pg||
nt|petepunt: may even lead @H here|pg||
nt|roswolf: yes that is as maybe but a 6-0 fit is usually to be avoided|pg||
nt|sybarra: 4 @D = cue at this point |pg||
nt|oosb: 5@C coming up|pg||
pc|h6|nt|wilkinsona: plenty of chances though|pg||
nt|petepunt: @C suit is interesting here|pg||
nt|andyv:  5@c not that easy so 4@c should net EW a plus|pg||
pc|h2|pg||
nt|kaapo: 2@D was some variant of multi, showing a weak hand with long major (possibly with other options)|pg||
nt|kaapo: 3@H showing some support for both majors|pg||
nt|andyv:  yes, and 3@h was p/c|pg||
pc|s7|nt|brotherp: think Verhees will play West for the @dJ...keeping the dangerous hand of lead|pg||
nt|wilkinsona: looks logical|pg||
nt|bobholl: but how to cross ? open up the @H for defenders ?|pg||
nt|kaapo: True, @C 4-1 makes life much harder|pg||
nt|andyv:  some play that as invite in @s and some play it as furthering the preempt|pg||
nt|hedyg: no 5@c bid from E, worried about pushing opps to slam?|pg||

nt|roswolf: this is now straightforward|pg||

pc|c5|nt|lml: no I wouldnt unless you play that a weak 2 is very good|pg||
pc|c4|nt|ritong: here we go|pg||
nt|lml: as some do|pg||
pc|c7|pg||
nt|blum1956: This demonstrates clearly the negative side of that kind of double, 4@s has no play while 5@h will be at least 2 down|pg||

mb|p|nt|hedyg: 3rd seat opening..i might open 1@c for the lead if i open, even if 5-5|pg||
mb|4S|nt|roswolf: 4@H incroyable|pg||
nt|roswolf: and where is the axe?|pg||
nt|hedyg: but i think pass is best, can always show 5-5 later|pg||
nt|sybarra: we know they whisper |pg||
mb|p|nt|roswolf: east's opening is ugly|pg||
nt|roswolf: west will likely lead a spade|pg||
nt|ampelman: 4@h looks optimistic to me|pg||
nt|pauleger: this wont be too costly|pg||
nt|pelu: down 2-3|pg||
nt|roswolf: all very predictable|pg||
nt|sybarra: likely same spot?  will S X |pg||
mb|p|nt|brotherp: no light openers for Jansma (agreed it is a disgusting collection)|pg||
nt|ybob: yes :), cold 5@D. 4@S defeat @C lead or return after win the  A@S with J@H lead|pg||
nt|psyck: EW had a 5@c sac...|pg||
nt|kerasidis: interestin board depends on lead|pg||
mb|p|nt|petepunt: tough to deafeat this|pg||
nt|roswolf: too bold|pg||
nt|roswolf: it looks like a mixed teams bid|pg||
nt|granguru:  E must pass|pg||
nt|andyv:  of course, Ew have different ideas:P|pg||
nt|kaapo: Trying to make up for board 26 perhaps|pg||
pc|cT|nt|granguru:  if N ducks @D once there is no hope to win the hand|pg||
nt|jcwla: A good hand to be playing invitational 3@D over 1@H.|pg||
nt|ady: could be a good score if e/w land in the right spot|pg||
pc|cA|nt|bobholl: 3nt a good save against 4@S funny :)|pg||
nt|roswolf: yup bridge is a strange but wondrous game|pg||
nt|bobholl: on a @H lead anyway :)|pg||
nt|jcwla: Or 1NT forcing followed by a @D rebid.|pg||
nt|sybarra: that seems better |pg||
nt|sybarra: so how do we feel about j of @D  lead?|pg||
nt|sybarra: unlikely to see |pg||
nt|oosb: would be brilliant|pg||
nt|oosb: but Q@C more likely than @d, if its non @H at all|pg||
nt|sybarra: agree|pg||
nt|oosb: however, could East have bid 2@D when pd anti dbled?|pg||
nt|sybarra: j of @D throws hand into a cocked hat |pg||
nt|oosb: I guess not, since you dont want to end up in 2@H X|pg||
nt|oosb: would still make though|pg||
nt|sybarra: I would not bd 2 @H,  could be 5 on my left|pg||
nt|oosb: agreed|pg||
nt|sybarra: and my right opened |pg||
nt|sybarra: makes me shiver |pg||
nt|oosb: Perhaps N also confused about the 2@H and 3@H bids|pg||
nt|oosb: (I am)|pg||
nt|psyck: dec can give up a @s, draw trumps & claim|pg||
pc|c2|nt|ampelman: 5@d looks fine|pg||
nt|pelu: for sure no X - %@D making easy|pg||
nt|pelu: 5@d|pg||
nt|jtr: Well done|pg||

nt|fabsayc: only worked because west overstrength|pg||
pc|c6|pg||

nt|sybarra: her name looks like the expensive crystal  yes? no?|pg||
nt|sybarra: E name I mean |pg||
pc|s2|nt|bobholl: nice balance from gert jan (paulissen)|pg||
nt|brotherp: still Paulissen is there so EW reach their part-score in clubs|pg||
nt|granguru:  some 2/1 players changed system in such a way that a repeat of the same suit as here is no more GF|pg||
nt|kaapo: 4 spades, 2 clubs, 2 diamonds and a heart would be 9|pg||
nt|ybob: @D lead = 10 TRICKS|pg||
nt|sybarra: N just not defending with void |pg||
nt|sybarra: God gave you singletons to lead right?|pg||
nt|jtr: Yes discounted the vital @dK|pg||
pc|s7|nt|ybob: :)|pg||
nt|henryb:  or the @hJ|pg||
pc|sJ|nt|bobholl: but i saw 2nt as balance (may be wrong)|pg||

pc|c5|pc|h3|pg||

nt|sybarra: N hiding the 2 |pg||

pc|h4|nt|granguru:  defense is giving some help|pg||
pc|sA|pc|s3|pg||
nt|xenya: so EW have got to best strain here, but as Hedy said, they were always in the position to do so, even if E had passed 3rd in hand |pg||
pc|d2|nt|ybob: can lead fron QXX @C ???|pg||
nt|henryb:  Leslie needs to lead a heart now to beat this|pg||
nt|sybarra: is it that difficult?  leading an "odd ball" suit |pg||
nt|ybob: from|pg||
pc|d3|nt|brotherp: Jansma doesnt know trumps are 2-2 so looking for the best way to play diamonds|pg||
nt|psyck: all lines work, @c ruffs or giving up a @s or whatever|pg||
pc|dJ|pc|dQ|pg||
pc|cQ|pc|s5|nt|roswolf: east will be squeezed for the overtrick|pg||

pc|sK|pg||
nt|granguru:  but declarer went for the finesse that didnt work|pg||
nt|andyv:  so W may be relying on bringing in the @h suit|pg||
pc|d4|nt|pelu: so "only" down 1|pg||
nt|henryb:  no, I guess they still get a heart|pg||
pc|d8|pc|dA|nt|andyv:  I don't understand putting not putting the J@c in.  It seemed like a no cost play|pg||

pc|cA|nt|Walddk7: Not, it's not clear|pg||
pc|c2|nt|pitiful:  depends on style for me|pg||
nt|lml: its reasonable to pass.  East has some defenseive values|pg||

nt|granguru:  hand 17 should give some to Jankova|pg||
mb|p|nt|pauleger: E has a normal pass, but E/W are cold for 3NT|pg||
nt|pauleger: good hand for 2 suiters even with 5-4|pg||
nt|kaapo: He could also play @H to J, cash spade and end play south|pg||
nt|andyv:  3@c some type of constructive raise|pg||

mb|2N|nt|brotherp: asking 2@c|pg||

nt|roswolf: north really cant bid more|pg||
nt|jcwla: I don't know what the 2NT range is but a queen and a jack opposite a big hand is going to play about as well as one would expect it would.|pg||

mb|3H|nt|andyv:  very difficult not to make 5 on this hand|pg||

mb|p|nt|wilkinsona: the rebidable singleton..|pg||

nt|fabsayc: ruff two clubs, lose two trumps, not much of interest here|pg||
nt|jtr: Worried about entering hand maybe|pg||
mb|3N|nt|roswolf: the vul sac in 6@DX was very tough to find|pg||

mb|p|nt|pelu: wrong Q by N :)|pg||

nt|granguru:  E should have asked Stayman or just passed|pg||
nt|ybob: nice spot 3@D|pg||

nt|Walddk1: Jeffrey Allerton must have moved to Scotland overnight. Las week he lived in Surrey, England, and he is as English as can be|pg||
nt|Walddk1: Paula Leslie, however, is from Scotland originally|pg||
nt|sybarra: or maybe I should say "understand" |pg||
mb|p|nt|brotherp: not so easy to lead @d's now|pg||
nt|wilkinsona: now west was -2 elsewhere, how can East do?|pg||
nt|bobholl: e has shown 4414 or 4405 so easy :)|pg||
nt|brotherp: and another lead seems to let the contract through|pg||
nt|pelu: @hQ will defeat 4@s|pg||
nt|Walddk1: But has been living in London for about 10 years|pg||
mb|p|nt|wilkinsona: ..and this seems to...|pg||
nt|brotherp: still West passes 3NT knowing the shortness; so club lead looks attractive|pg||
nt|pelu: for me 4@D is not bridge red against green and opp stop in 3@s|pg||
pc|c2|nt|pelu: sorry he made 3@D :(|pg||
nt|psyck: W will be in trouble after @h fin & @d run|pg||
pc|cT|nt|ampelman: after the 3@h bid the @hQ lead is too tough to find|pg||
nt|pauleger: 3NT in the open room. Don´t really know, if E showed 14-16 there or upgraded her hand to a 15-17 NT, however, W directly jumped to game|pg||
nt|fabsayc: no diamond lead so diamond ace will survive|pg||

pc|cK|nt|bobholl: 4@H 2@C 3@S may be |pg||

pc|hK|nt|jcwla: Would be a lovely idea to establish a @S - maybe on board 20.|pg||
pc|hA|nt|oosb: wd!|pg||
nt|sybarra: wow, great guess |pg||
nt|oosb: by both defence and declarer|pg||
nt|oosb: super|pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: scores from all tables http://b.poznan2011.pl/mxt/r16runda1.html|pg||
pc|h6|nt|bobholl: small @D ?|pg||
nt|brotherp: think so; in the bidding and play East's 4441 is known so...|pg||
nt|wilkinsona: well south knows his partner has 4 diamonds...|pg||
nt|brotherp: still a lot off guessing to be done by van Prooijen|pg||
nt|wilkinsona: perhaps the diamond 9...|pg||
pc|h2|pg||
nt|petergill: The defence to 3NT at other table is not a good advertisement for leading low from xxx in partner's suit to 3NT|pg||
nt|mcarroll: now down to 10 tricks|pg||
nt|peachy: This could maybe make too, keep W in the lead when giving up tricks :)|pg||
nt|roswolf: yes indeed -a lit dd though|pg||
pc|c4|pc|cQ|nt|bobholl: k@D @C looks best|pg||
pc|c7|nt|jtr: they have board 8 which may be a gain|pg||
nt|psyck: not the count is rectified too|pg||
nt|psyck: *now|pg||
pc|c8|pg||
nt|petepunt: or to try for -420 v -170 :)|pg||
nt|peachy: yes, that's why I put in the smiley, I guess I should have been more clear about it|pg||
pc|s3|pc|s5|nt|sybarra: thats why I am commentator only,   not playing |pg||
nt|psyck: nmay just make 1 o/t though in just 3n|pg||
pc|sA|pc|s2|pg||
nt|pelu: West find partner with the best possible cards - and still down 1 - could easy cost 500 to bid 4@D|pg||
pc|d7|pc|d3|nt|sybarra: N is scary!|pg||
pc|dK|nt|vugraphpl9: squeeze|pg||
nt|psyck: y, was showup after the @s duck|pg||
pc|d2|pg||
nt|roswolf: west is horribly endplayed|pg||
nt|peachy: he is forced to give up, nothing helps|pg||
pc|s7|nt|hedyg: wow why?|pg||
pc|s6|nt|stc: WHAT ?|pg||
nt|stc: hard to believe she played this way...|pg||

mb|2C|an| |nt|ritong: he has no gadget to show that handtype, but he will bid i m sure|pg||

mb|p|nt|psyck: :)|pg||
nt|ritong: well, maybe he had a gadget|pg||
nt|vugraphpl2: but for our tournament there are still no running scores...|pg||
nt|lml: 2@C as I recall is a game forcing relay|pg||
nt|benjy:  lets see where the relays take them|pg||
nt|Gerben42:  NS play Gazilli|pg||
mb|2S|an| |nt|psyck: yes, a dont style bid maybe|pg||
nt|vugraphpl2: information: www.poznan2011.pl|pg||
nt|pelu: best defense = 2x@c :)|pg||
mb|p|nt|Gerben42:  so 2@C showed possibly a strong hand - |pg||
mb|3H|an| |nt|psyck: or just majors i'm told|pg||
nt|ritong: bakkeren might decide to cool it down|pg||

mb|p|nt|benjy:  I used to play 2@C as a relay too, but with hands such as the south hand it is often important to describe as opposed to asking|pg||
nt|lml: well it did get them to the best spot this time|pg||
nt|benjy:  true|pg||
nt|lml: I am assuming that south passes|pg||
nt|benjy:  :)|pg||
nt|Gerben42:  3@H now confirms the strong hand and N will probably bid 3N next|pg||
mb|3N|mb|p|nt|ritong: on the other hand, he does not need much to have nine toppers|pg||
nt|jcomyn: thats enough s|pg||
nt|vugraphpl2: currently result withe the result from the 1st segment is 27:25 to GreenEyes|pg||
mb|p|nt|ritong: so, he shrugs and bids game|pg||
mb|p|nt|vugraphpl2: E and W ask about the meaning of auction|pg||
nt|Gerben42:  looks like a complex hand to play but maybe something can be done because W has everything|pg||

pc|dK|pg||
nt|vugraphpl2: information www.poznan2011.pl|pg||
pc|s3|pc|s5|nt|benjy:  probably best just to play ace and another trump now|pg||
pc|sJ|pc|sQ|pg||
nt|pelu: after the @S-lead only @sA + @CA and @s to king can defeat - and if decl in trick 1 play @SK no defense|pg||
pc|d4|nt|pelu: wow|pg||
pc|dQ|nt|pelu: what is going on??|pg||
nt|pelu: after @HA just play @sK and give up 2 @D-tricks|pg||
pc|d2|nt|Gerben42:  now there are 2@D 3@S 3@H and @CA for example|pg||
nt|blum1956: now the defense has 5 tricks|pg||
nt|Gerben42:  how does the defense cash @CK?|pg||
pc|c8|pg||
nt|davpro: Declarer will be running out of trumps (if @c now)|pg||
pc|h7|pc|h2|nt|benjy:  if you ruff a @S things can get awkward|pg||
pc|hK|nt|ritong: by the way, doubling this in south would not be scandalous|pg||
pc|hA|pg||
nt|davpro: This was a deal of give and give. Friendly :)|pg||
nt|vugraphpl2: :)|pg||
nt|vugraphpl2: i have only friendly players at the table :)|pg||
nt|lml: pretty well forced to play clubs|pg||
nt|Gerben42:  must return a low @D|pg||
pc|d8|nt|davpro: Two teams on the score sheet|pg||
nt|blum1956: West underleads his @dA and East switches to a club|pg||
pc|d9|nt|lml: which as it turns out is fine|pg||
pc|dT|nt|Gerben42:  must discard @DA to keep @C and @S covered on the @H|pg||
nt|Gerben42:  neat huh|pg||
nt|Gerben42:  West holds all threats|pg||
pc|s4|pg||
nt|Gerben42:  other table went down but what if he discards a @S, wins the @C return and plays on 3 rounds of @H|pg||
nt|blum1956: South must discard a spade to keep chances|pg||
pc|c7|pc|cT|nt|ritong: @c J9xxx looks like real opposition|pg||

pc|c5|pg||
nt|blum1956: But she does|pg||
pc|dA|pc|d5|nt|Gerben42:  should have won this one - a bit double dummy perhaps|pg||

nt|roswolf: this could be bloody if someone gets too frisky|pg||
nt|petepunt: however would have bid 2@D first time|pg||
nt|roswolf: last bd|pg||
nt|kaapo: Four more rounds of swiss today|pg||
nt|petergill: In one match, East made 1@SX for 160, so perhaps 2@SX would not be too bad. |pg||
nt|sybarra: and our last bd of this set |pg||
nt|sybarra: thx Kacper, our operator,  job well done |pg||
nt|sybarra: and thx to Roberto and all who join us for the commentary |pg||

nt|ady: 32  David?|pg||
nt|jtr: yes|pg||
nt|ady: thx|pg||
nt|jtr: 27 from group A 5 from B|pg||
nt|roswolf: 67-19 now to team Z unofficially|pg||
nt|peachy: That might have been the final nail...|pg||
mb|p|nt|roswolf: nice slam here|pg||
nt|petergill: 3@C X P what should South call?|pg||
nt|andreasw:  crazy hand|pg||
nt|andreasw:  what do you bid now a S?|pg||
nt|psyck: 5@h sac against 5@d? :)|pg||
mb|p|nt|pelu: agree, Peter, 4@D now is a gamble - almost like all-in|pg||
nt|pelu: after 1@S - 2NT = invit with 4+@s for sure 3@H cant be naturel|pg||
nt|ampelman: 9 tricks for NS in a @h contract|pg||
nt|roswolf: inverted raise to start with?|pg||
nt|ampelman: splinter bid ?|pg||
nt|pauleger: Last board of the match coming up. Play will resume in 35 minutes according to the bulletin. Thx all for watching and BBO for making this possible :)|pg||
nt|andyv:  looks like @s and minor|pg||
nt|kaapo: After that 27 best of the A semifinal and 5 best of the B semifinal head to the round of 32|pg||
mb|1D|nt|petepunt: prefer to be able to bid 1n with wests cards|pg||
nt|jcwla: N intending to rebid NT here.|pg||
nt|stc: director ! she had 7@s, not 6|pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: :)|pg||
nt|Walddk1: I bid 4@S and go down|pg||
nt|ybob: i bid 4@C with the E hand|pg||
nt|petergill: It's like a Master Solvers Club problem: 3NT, 4@S, 3@S, 4@C or Pass|pg||
nt|sybarra: our favorite operator Kacper,  great job again!!!! |pg||
nt|jtr: 28 board matches i believe|pg||
nt|jtr: 48 final|pg||
nt|psyck: 2@d, it will not be passed :)|pg||
nt|andreasw:  you can be sure of that :)|pg||
nt|kerasidis: i like 3 @h|pg||
nt|psyck: with @s void, not sure if 3@h is such a great idea|pg||
mb|2S|nt|roswolf: strong cub|pg||
nt|Walddk4: Bid it?|pg||
nt|xenya: was a blind spot -- but a costly one|pg||
nt|hedyg: the lady is multiple European and World Champion. didnt get there by ooops|pg||
nt|henryb:  Indeed it is|pg||
nt|petergill: I think I bid 4@S|pg||
nt|ady: any chance of 4@H n/s gone with 4-1 trump split|pg||
mb|d|nt|bobholl: jan (jansma) asks why east thougth so long :)|pg||
nt|roswolf: south should raise the ante|pg||
nt|Walddk1: Too much for 3@S|pg||
nt|kerasidis: hopefully with minimum values could reach 3nt|pg||
nt|psyck: N decides he has a @h stopper|pg||
nt|andreasw:  4@d now by s?|pg||
nt|psyck: yes, looks like S wants to make a move to slam|pg||
nt|kerasidis: why should ....taking positive answer|pg||
nt|roswolf: writing has been on the wall for a long time - the td ruling slayed them|pg||
nt|peachy: Only four more boards to go, lead too large to make up for Last Arrival team|pg||
mb|p|nt|Walddk4: Running scores at  http://b.poznan2011.pl/mxt/rrrunda2.html|pg||
nt|roswolf: 4@C cue?|pg||
nt|pauleger: interesting 3@c bid|pg||
nt|pauleger: propably a good @d raise|pg||
nt|roswolf: 3nt seems fairly cold for e/w|pg||
nt|roswolf: is 1086 a stop!?|pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: I am not sure but Kopecky said 2s is transfer to nt :)|pg||
nt|andyv:  natural seems to be even a better treatment...less info given to opps|pg||
nt|kaapo: Yes, Multon hits declarers @D suit once again|pg||
nt|sybarra: and tx Oosman,  great to have you join us |pg||
nt|psyck: N will likely bid 5@c now as pass/correct|pg||
nt|andreasw:  yes... and S might go for it anyway|pg||
mb|4H|nt|roswolf: north gets that sinking feeling|pg||
nt|stc: that's why i said, hard to believe...|pg||
nt|hedyg: http://www.worldbridge.org/people/person.asp?qryid=8697|pg||
nt|hedyg: she had an easy entry to hand with AK@D|pg||
nt|Walddk1: Partner doubled at the 3-level vulnerable|pg||
nt|ybob: 4@C and later 4@S ?|pg||
nt|sybarra: enjoyed being with you |pg||
nt|oosb: Thank you to the team in Poznan for bring us this vugraph and  to BBO, Roland and the entire team|pg||
mb|p|nt|dburn: West found partner with what West could expect - a bog-standard weak no trump with two low spades|pg||
nt|Walddk4: It's not a great 11 count with KQ doubleton|pg||
nt|jcwla: That's not what a little birdie told me.|pg||
nt|oosb: Likewise shirley :)|pg||
nt|sybarra: and to the specs,  great funa and comments!|pg||
mb|p|nt|petepunt: its a shocking 11 count :)|pg||
nt|andyv:  1N opener had interesting effect of preventing N from showing the @h suit...compare to the auction in OR|pg||
nt|ybob: pd can have 4432|pg||
nt|fabsayc: likely spot|pg||
mb|p|nt|roswolf: ok spade cue|pg||
nt|ampelman: 3@d is minimum, I guess|pg||
nt|roswolf: 4@C or 4@D?|pg||
nt|Walddk1: Yes, 4@C is not ideal but nothing is|pg||
nt|henryb:  shouldn't that show @s and @d? or a hand too strong for a direct 4@s?|pg||
nt|sybarra: and at the moment N is hopeful |pg||
nt|petergill: 4@C followed by 4@S suggests 4 spades and a @d suit in my opinion|pg||
nt|petergill: -300 or -200 beats -400|pg||
nt|Walddk1: Maybe a strong 4@S only. Depends on agreement as is the case with everything in this game|pg||
pc|d8|nt|stc: still wining the match and having a good position for the KO rounds|pg||
nt|kerasidis: nice swing|pg||
nt|psyck: N knew the minor, so bids it himself|pg||
nt|psyck: not sure that is a good idea, maybe he wanted to put opener on lead though|pg||
nt|andreasw:  unless @c lead should be a quick claim|pg||
nt|psyck: S tried to be too scientific other table, should just have bid game after x & cue|pg||
pc|d2|nt|pauleger: if W has AJ here, you should not put in the @s K here|pg||
nt|pelu: still hard fight for the first 3 places in this group: 62-61-60-60-57-54 VP's|pg||
pc|d6|nt|pauleger: a hand, where it is good to lead 2nd from 4 small|pg||
nt|jcwla: Wow.|pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: oh...|pg||
nt|oosb: Boring contract compared to the treat we've had|pg||
nt|oosb: not straight forward though|pg||
nt|fabsayc: although 3nt looks as good|pg||
pc|dT|pg||
nt|brotherp: finally an easy hand|pg||
nt|oosb: nice lead by Natalia!|pg||
nt|mcarroll: both look -1 to me|pg||
nt|fabsayc: i can make 3nt from this seat|pg||
nt|jtr: So can i|pg||
pc|c3|nt|mcarroll: a bit double dummy though|pg||
pc|c9|pc|cA|nt|roswolf: blood will flow|pg||
nt|andyv:  ty Kacper for a great job as the vugraph operator|pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: :)|pg||
nt|andyv:  ty Kari and specs...another round to start in a few mintues|pg||
nt|andyv:  minutes:)|pg||
nt|andyv:  meanwhile S has all sorts of problems here|pg||
nt|kaapo: Maybe Madsen enters dummy in clubs to play towards @SA again|pg||
nt|sybarra: bet we switch to play B |pg||
nt|Walddk1: If I don't have one, I prefer a direct 4@S|pg||
nt|sybarra: as W shows out|pg||
nt|henryb:  I would probably have duplicated the action at the other table: 3N|pg||
nt|Walddk1: In order to avoid confusion|pg||
nt|petergill: 3.5@S seems ideal, now that I think about it. |pg||
nt|ybob: agree 3.5 @S|pg||
nt|Walddk1: Want to borrow  ½  ?|pg||
nt|Walddk1: 3½@S|pg||
nt|sybarra: ok I am prejudice,  but at this table the ladies have been the stars |pg||
nt|sybarra: and compliments to the guys for staying in their seats |pg||
nt|oosb: will let that slip this time, on behalf of all the guys|pg||
pc|c6|pg||
nt|roswolf: NOW 4NT|pg||
nt|pauleger: with stiff @dQ it looked obvious to swith to @h|pg||
pc|hJ|nt|bobholl: they play polish @C so N knows S is strong |pg||
nt|bobholl: jan is thinking long not normal for him|pg||
nt|oosb: :)|pg||
pc|hK|nt|roswolf: 6@D by default|pg||
nt|roswolf: everyone is pointing out that by ducking a spade 3nt is defeated - in practicethat means a small spade lead from north which might well not be found|pg||
nt|ady: yes   great diamond lay out   dont even need club finesse which is right|pg||
pc|hA|nt|bobholl: not that easy he still has got a lot of losing @D|pg||
nt|brotherp: not knowing the friendly distribution though Schollaard will spend some time figuring out the savest way|pg||
nt|petergill: A problem with 3NT: If West was not vul, 3NT looks good, but a vul 3@C preempter is too likely to have an entry, and then -400 or -500 will be an ugly score, a lot of the time. ...|pg||
nt|petergill: Though @C10 might make 3NT good. |pg||
nt|oosb: because they were excellent indeed|pg||
nt|sybarra: agree,  they were great "catchers" |pg||
pc|h7|pg||
nt|roswolf: well done|pg||
nt|ampelman: 4@h was the bid east wanted to here|pg||
nt|ampelman: hear|pg||
nt|roswolf: indeed|pg||
pc|hQ|pc|h8|nt|roswolf: especially if west bid it -|pg||
nt|kaapo: But East can win @SA, play heart to king and then 3rd heart after ace|pg||
pc|h2|nt|dburn: so far, so bad|pg||
nt|sybarra: and that is important also |pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: next round starts in 30 minutes|pg||
pc|h5|pg||
nt|roswolf: easy claim|pg||
nt|hedyg: last board of this match, we will be back in 1 hour and 45 minutes for more fun|pg||
pc|hT|pc|s3|nt|roswolf: this looks only -1|pg||
nt|jcwla: Kopecky may be going to the desk.|pg||

nt|jcwla: Thanks Roland and John, and all.  For now, so long.|pg||

nt|petergill: Steph Jacob is playing this well, trying to remove East's exit cards|pg||

nt|ybob: two rounds @S and wait ...|pg||
nt|jtr: needs to run this|pg||

nt|Walddk4: Second half in 47 minutes|pg||
nt|Gerben42:  could be enough to tie the board at least - 4@H likely -2|pg||
nt|Gerben42:  other room in 3N also|pg||
nt|vugraphpl2: schedule www.poznan2011.pl/schedule|pg||
nt|blum1956: If West will not open the bidding, 3@h is a possible contract for NS. Also 1 down|pg||
nt|Gerben42:  any ruling on the wrong explanation of 2@C on 20?|pg||
nt|Gerben42:  that suddenly seems very important|pg||
nt|Gerben42:  other two ties still exist with 2 to play|pg||

pc|s4|pc|c5|pg||
nt|Gerben42:  still cant see anything happening but 4@H 2@S and two Aces|pg||
pc|s8|pc|s2|nt|lml: East-West can certainly catch up... they need to regroup at the break|pg||
pc|sK|pc|s9|pg||
nt|Gerben42:  so barring a score correction by declarer, it seems Pony is through to the QF|pg||

mc|8|nt|Gerben42:  thanks all!|pg||
nt|vugraphpl2: thank you all!|pg||
nt|blum1956: The declarer tried to use the only adverse distribution giving a chance - @sK with W, @s10 with E|pg||
nt|vugraphpl2: Pony won with 1IMP!|pg||
nt|Gerben42:  I think that there will be no correction - after 2@D it was clear to east what S had|pg||
nt|vugraphpl2: Please remember about the next round, which should begin tommorow at 10AM|pg||
nt|blum1956: Anyway some TDing possible after the innocent team looses with 1 imp|pg||

nt|Gerben42:  Pony will appeal that I will assure you|pg||
nt|vugraphpl2: Yes, Gotard askes about appeal|pg||
nt|vugraphpl2: asked*|pg||
nt|blum1956: an appeal coming? Or that was just a procedural penalty?|pg||
nt|vugraphpl2: so we must wait|pg||
nt|vugraphpl2: it was a adjusted score|pg||
nt|vugraphpl2: so there will be an appeal|pg||
nt|vugraphpl2: probably of course|pg||
nt|Gerben42:  I figure not probably|pg||
