mb|p|nt|mamos: EW have no need to regret giving in to Diamonds  they could make nothing|pg||
mb|1N|mb|p|nt|sunsamvar: hi Hans|pg||
nt|mamos: Ns will bid 3NT   in any language|pg||
nt|jcomyn: agreed but they didnt look as if they would find a major fit|pg||
mb|2C!|mb|p|nt|hawe45:  Rather easy boards to start with here|pg||
mb|2D|mb|p|nt|grebrof: 3@s is not an underbid|pg||
nt|jcomyn: especially vul very aggressive stuff|pg||
mb|2H!|nt|danilo1: Double -dummy 3NT ... but guess would not find @DK|pg||
mb|p|nt|sunsamvar: will they get to 6 here ?|pg||
nt|hawe45:  If so - 6 @H D is free for 1100|pg||
nt|hawe45:  7 the 1400 and 1 IMP|pg||
nt|hawe45:  Difficult to find out, how bad slam is|pg||
mb|2N|nt|mamos: defence to 4@h not trivial|pg||
mb|p|nt|grebrof: playing 4@s wouldnt be either|pg||
nt|grebrof: missing the AK of trumps, not always fun|pg||
nt|jcomyn: well ca ruff and h ak|pg||
nt|grebrof: yes|pg||
nt|jcomyn: see the one earlier missing ak of trumps slam|pg||
nt|mamos: S probably has to rise with @hA  and play Club|pg||
nt|grebrof: I actually played 6@hs with single A vs my Ps single K|pg||

nt|grebrof: you know - the multi|pg||
nt|hawe45:  Team NONACO might be M-onaco|pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: hello|pg||
mb|p|mb|3H!|mb|p|nt|mamos: yes the Slam missing AK of trumps was the result of RKCB and a 5@s response which pinpointed two missing KC when the agreed suit was @h|pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: It is, sry for that|pg||
nt|hawe45:  Z = Zimmermann...|pg||
nt|danilo1: mini NT ... North is still not giving up slam ...  ... need not to go over 4NT|pg||
mb|4H|nt|grebrof: can give ruff?|pg||
mb|p|nt|jcomyn: uses will bid this in two bids but maybe we are oldfashioned. They take 9 bids to get to the most unobvious contract u ever saw|pg||
nt|mamos: 1NT was 11-14|pg||

nt|grebrof: @s|pg||
nt|jcomyn: yep. One of my many most embarassing moments|pg||
nt|eamongall: good evening kacper |pg||
nt|danilo1: well ... if South decides to open .. in nat. system, may not be so easy for North to stop ... here ... mini NT and relays should have advantage ... seems North not using them|pg||

nt|grebrof: my P had 6 @hs and 3 @s after my multi and jumped to 4@s - what was my suit?|pg||

nt|jcomyn: thast makes things easy |pg||

mb|1H|mb|2D|nt|eamongall: bessis got 16 in round 1 and Nyshchyi got 10 |pg||
mb|p|mb|2S|nt|eamongall: strong NT and transfer and probably play 2@S ... or as it is 1NT |pg||
mb|p|nt|hawe45:  Probably in board 2, 6 @C is the best slam|pg||
nt|eamongall: personally I would attempt to play 2@S but I am not in Poznan |pg||
mb|2N|nt|mamos: i cannot see any way to make 4@h on this board even if the defence fail to get a Spade ruff|pg||
nt|jcomyn: i am not bidding 2c on that hand to let opps have a cheap bid|pg||
mb|p|mb|3D|nt|grebrof: 3nt doesnt make either|pg||

mb|p|mb|p|nt|eamongall: Now there is a slim 1@S but the preemptive value ovr 1@C might make it worth it ...and being a passed hand |pg||
nt|eamongall: the combined 13 count is bullying the 27 count for now |pg||
nt|eamongall: but 4@Hs is a comfortable outcome for NS |pg||
pc|hK|nt|mamos:  It is easy for us oldies to look at the South hand and sneer at opening such a barren 11 count and attribute this to the failure of the Slam but all the modern experts play like ...|pg||
