nt|jaapfr: careless S to throw a @C away (the @H 6432 seem pretty useless|pg||
pc|hA|nt|hawe45:  North and South do not play 3 @C the same "way"|pg||
pc|h7|nt|pelu: but with both major 3-3 a lot of play for N|pg||

pc|h7|pc|hA|nt|pelu: strange misunderstanding un this levcel, but 61H sh be ok|pg||
nt|davpro: 4@d was (probably) improvising. 4@h passable. 6@d IS tourmenting for W :)|pg||
nt|davpro: A lot of tricks in 6@h, but on a @c lead there will be severe problems...|pg||
pc|h2|pg||
mc|11|nt|murat: we have a turkish term. "it tastes so great that you cannot even eat it." this club lead made me say that|pg||

nt|007 joosth: for the opps:)|pg||
nt|pelu: u are asking for explanation - I cant help u - |pg||
mb|p|nt|fabsayc: notice had he ruffed the diamond instead of discarding it west would have had no winner at the end|pg||
mb|1D|nt|famus: this was ultra conservitive by E--|pg||
nt|davpro: X might be one minor or both Majors|pg||
nt|jaapfr: w trew 1 so @SAK and xs claim 12 tricks|pg||
mb|d|nt|famus: perhaps thinking about the last hand|pg||
mb|p|nt|pelu: the runnign score has 13 IMP for Baltiv in Board 15 ( scored as 3Nt making for NS - and he we see 2@Cs play - can u help us Maria?|pg||
mb|1N|nt|fabsayc: to understand that hand you need to read "adventures in card play|pg||
nt|pelu: sorry 12 IMP|pg||
mb|p|nt|famus: cud well b a swing --this last bd|pg||
nt|famus: 3@s limit|pg||
nt|famus: if he doesnt do it now they wud miss game--that is if N/S dont get activated|pg||
mb|3N|nt|murat: i think west didnt discard a spade. |pg||
nt|jaapfr: think W did not discard a @S:)|pg||
mb|p|nt|007 joosth: rather weak hand for 2D|pg||
mb|p|nt|bobholl: probably a @C :)|pg||
nt|murat: 2imps on the way|pg||
nt|bobholl: what to bid now 2@S or 3NT|pg||

nt|jaapfr: tx for the remark specs: operator must be the most difficult pushing job in bridge|pg||
nt|bobholl: it is i once tried it it is frustating espcecially with fast players|pg||
nt|bobholl: and with this standing every IMP counts|pg||
nt|buddyshah: 2 boards  and 7   to get,   3   to compare|pg||
mb|p|mb|1H|mb|p|mb|3D|nt|007 joosth: 1H a bit risky, but pass is also with some risk|pg||

nt|buddyshah: close   one|pg||
mb|p|mb|4N|nt|buddyshah: At this stage  HARDING  and BALTI are tied after 12  and so is  BADGER and HAUGE|pg||

nt|jaapfr: 1@H|pg||
mb|5D|nt|fabsayc: 1@H is a rock, i bid it without spade king|pg||

mb|p|mb|p|mb|p|nt|007 joosth: hcp enough but without that K  i would like the T or J of hearts:)|pg||

pc|cJ|nt|buddyshah: CJ normal lead|pg||
pc|cA|pc|c2|nt|murat: after all it wasnt east to find the slam|pg||

nt|007 joosth: why not the middel 1?|pg||
nt|007 joosth: the 8  suggests  I leave it up to you which suit to return|pg||
pc|hQ|nt|bobholl: lot of guessing to do in @D|pg||
pc|h9|nt|jaapfr: which?|pg||
nt|buddyshah: And  now probably not making,  Does south come inder pressure  on the Runof @H?|pg||
pc|hA|nt|famus: depends how many overtricks S makes based on the @s play|pg||
pc|c9|pg||
nt|fabsayc: to make it clear he has diamond card|pg||

nt|007 joosth: well change the diamond ace and the club ace   and a club return was best|pg||

mb|p|nt|bobholl: on the 6@H board other room busy now "we" were already claiming victory but you never know :) |pg||
mb|p|mb|p|nt|fabsayc: but partner still has to under lead, the signal for diamond is much simpler|pg||
