nt|minip: Funny peculiar - not funny haha|pg||
nt|ritong: if you like watching carcrashes, then , yes, it was funny|pg||
nt|jesperdall:  Tells me a lot about bridge: The winners make the fewest mistakes, not the greatest plays|pg||

pc|sQ|pc|sK|mc|8|nt|ritong: perhaps something a bit stronger:)|pg||
nt|jesperdall:  I think NS were very lucky on board 9, but on the first handful fo boards, they were very accurate|pg||

nt|MAXLAM: 10 @h + 9 @s = 19 total tricks NS makes 10 EW 8 . The law fails . Reason: hands are not pure.|pg||
pc|sA|nt|padampadam:  Lindqvist didn't compete to 4@s since he has good hopes of defeating 4@h in front of a partner who had acted|pg||

nt|ritong: i do not think so|pg||
pc|dQ|pg||
nt|minip: NO|pg||
nt|JosJ: cashing @SA implies @H finesse is right?|pg||
nt|minip: But probably 6 @h as he has a 1NT available for balanced hands|pg||
nt|ritong: simply shows extra guts|pg||
nt|jesperdall:  Indeed!|pg||
