mb|1C!|nt|mamos: EW have no need to regret giving in to Diamonds  they could make nothing|pg||
mb|1H|mb|3C!|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||
nt|yke:  W should have played low and East should have throw the K under spade Ace, not that easy|pg||
nt|jcomyn: gee here we go again with ultra-light opening|pg||
nt|yke:  but it's only for an overtrick|pg||
nt|jcomyn: how many clubs|pg||
nt|yke:  nice hand :) |pg||
nt|jaapfr: DD 4@H easy but SD impossible to make|pg||
nt|hawe45:  And on a @D-lead - overtricks?|pg||
nt|mcarroll: Hi Hans|pg||
mb|d|nt|jcomyn: i like that|pg||
nt|yke:  I don't like 3NT, with a void|pg||
nt|jcomyn: banking on a d leade|pg||
mb|p|nt|hawe45:  Rather easy boards to start with here|pg||
nt|hawe45:  Hi/morning(sunshine up here North|pg||
mb|4H|nt|jaapfr: pls who is Thomas operator?|pg||
nt|jaapfr: ty|pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: N is Thomas|pg||
mb|5C|nt|grebrof: 3@s is not an underbid|pg||
nt|jcomyn: especially vul very aggressive stuff|pg||
nt|jcomyn: NOOOOO|pg||
mb|d|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|p|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||
pc|hK|nt|jaapfr: gm Hans|pg||
pc|h7|nt|eamongall: good afternoon |pg||
pc|h9|nt|jcomyn: cue bidding no doubt|pg||
nt|grebrof: you know - the multi|pg||
nt|hawe45:  Team NONACO might be M-onaco|pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: hello|pg||
pc|h8|pg||
pc|hA|nt|yke:  what about double with the East hand? I think one of them will run|pg||
pc|hQ|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||
pc|h4|nt|grebrof: can give ruff?|pg||
nt|jcomyn: J10xx wouldnt happen to me|pg||
pc|hT|pg||
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|jcomyn: looks as if the 19 ciount aint finished yet|pg||
nt|jaapfr: in open also 5@CX-3 I presume|pg||
nt|mcarroll: This is going to be expensive|pg||
pc|sQ|nt|jaapfr: oh i hear in open 5@H|pg||
pc|s6|nt|eamongall: http://b.poznan2011.pl/ot/orrleaderb.html    open teams running scores seem up |pg||
nt|yke:  but maybe to 5@C :)|pg||
pc|s3|nt|grebrof: very nice|pg||
nt|jcomyn: this is a real quare one - p opens 2d multi and you have void h and 7 spades - what was my partners suit|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||
pc|sA|pg||
nt|jcomyn: now 10 bids which comes from opening weak|pg||
nt|jaapfr: so french a lot of imps to start with|pg||
nt|jaapfr: some 12 imps|pg||
nt|jaapfr: even 13 can|pg||
pc|cA|pc|c7|pc|c8|pc|cJ|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: big question around - who was the idiot who played in 2s+5|pg||
nt|jcomyn: thast makes things easy |pg||
pc|c3|nt|danilo1: in Open room .. 3NT made bd one ... after East's Dble ... and @H cashed ... West already exposed 5Hcp ... so @DK found|pg||
pc|h5|pc|c9|pc|cK|pg||
nt|jaapfr: y a good player does not make more than 8 tricks in @H (a bad player at least 9 or 10):)|pg||

nt|grebrof: that we all agree|pg||
nt|jcomyn: has to be spades|pg||
nt|jcomyn: never was justice in this game|pg||
nt|grebrof: NS at 18th - EW 21|pg||
nt|grebrof: these are just below 50%|pg||

nt|hawe45:  Never - bot thatÂ´s too late, NL|pg||
mb|2S|nt|mcarroll: Nwever ever|pg||
nt|hawe45:  And here: NEVER a Multi - bad suit, can play in minors|pg||
nt|mcarroll: Never|pg||
mb|p|nt|eamongall: strong NT and transfer and probably play 2@S ... or as it is 1NT |pg||
nt|jcomyn: another light opening wont work|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||
nt|jaapfr: pass|pg||
mb|p|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||
nt|hawe45:  Lucky West - North could (should) have waitet one round|pg||
pc|d5|nt|mcarroll: an interesting - and unusual outcome of the Multi, opps play in opener's suit|pg||
nt|hawe45:  But anyway - this board will be played in @S at most tables, but...|pg||
nt|jaapfr: without 2@D endresult could well be 4@H down|pg||
pc|dQ|nt|grebrof: 3nt doesnt make either|pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: they sit on wrong line - NS should be EW |pg||
nt|vugraphpl9: it does not matter TD said|pg||
nt|grebrof: ok, EW at 18th and NS 21|pg||
pc|dK|pc|d3|pg||
nt|jaapfr: 4@H X -2 will be on scoreboard I quess|pg||
pc|d9|nt|jcomyn: WHY CANT YOU LEAD MY SUIT howls e|pg||
nt|jbgood: brekka is an imaginative player - but will have problems here|pg||
pc|d8|nt|hawe45:  North could even have hands, where 4 @S had a play - and where 1 NT was a bad spot|pg||
nt|mcarroll: S in 3NT in OR|pg||
pc|d7|nt|jcomyn: not sure why w bids with such defence against hearts|pg||
pc|dA|pg||
nt|grebrof: I would lead @ds|pg||
nt|jcomyn: s,s,s ruff goodnight|pg||
nt|jcomyn: oh yes of course u dont have any|pg||
nt|jaapfr: 3nt not much chance either|pg||
pc|c3|nt|mamos: youve been peeking John|pg||
nt|jcomyn: and with a 5-3 fit ns maye have problems|pg||
pc|c9|nt|hawe45:  Strange - it seems, that 2 @S costs 100 - in both camps|pg||
pc|cQ|pc|cK|pg||
nt|jcomyn: very true|pg||
nt|jcomyn: but i have been getting the defence right all day. Such an easy game when u can see the 4 hands|pg||

pc|hJ|nt|danilo1: good recovery .. so -2|pg||
pc|h2|nt|eamongall: The two teams I watch for in the Open Teams ... Hanlon got 16 and McCormac remains at the starting gate after a smacking from Gromov |pg||

nt|mamos: pause?|pg||
nt|jcomyn: well if you open with rubbish you cant complain|pg||
nt|jbgood: Kaninen (in 5th) up against the group leader|pg||

mb|p|nt|jbgood: sure|pg||
nt|hawe45:  But if you bid on to 7 @D, you canÂ´t lose it|pg||
nt|mcarroll: Yes, Grand against the odds|pg||
nt|hawe45:  6 NT should be the contract, I suppose|pg||
mb|2C!|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||
nt|yke:  in the south hand ofcourse|pg||
mb|p|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||
nt|mamos: this so must succeed |pg||
nt|mcarroll: But makes|pg||
mb|2D|nt|mamos: what would you open John ? 1@h?|pg||

nt|sunsamvar: with the cards being fav maybe 9 tricks here|pg||
nt|eamongall: doubt and confusion can be induced easily but seems these folk are ok |pg||

nt|jcomyn: n does not meet the 20-standard|pg||
mb|p|mb|3D|nt|sunsamvar: 10 even|pg||
nt|eamongall: a @D will need to appear 1st or 2nd trick to hold to 10 tricks |pg||
mb|p|mb|4C|an|5!D and 33 2!C|nt|jcomyn: whatever happened to the original weak NT opening promising a top honour in 3 suits and a minor honour in the 4th|pg||

mb|3S|nt|mamos: 15 + 14|pg||
nt|danilo1: South knows pd has @S (EW did not bid them)|pg||

mb|2H|nt|fokal: West did not show his @s with this 6 count 4333 with xxxx in @s|pg||
mb|p|nt|grebrof: 3nt again?|pg||
nt|hawe45:  Dutch De Wijs-Muller bid 7 NT|pg||
nt|yke:  well in 6@C you can try Ace of clubs in case the king is bare and then diamond finesse|pg||
mb|p|nt|grebrof: 2@s - 3@s?|pg||

nt|snorre: Helgemo open this hand 1NT. Brekka think it is a 18-19 NT...|pg||
mb|p|nt|yke:  I think it is too strong fro a 15-17 NT|pg||
nt|jbgood: Kvangrtaven will regret his 3 NT now - wrongsided and a possible slam miss|pg||
nt|snorre: 3NT north isn't much better than 6@c...|pg||
nt|yke:  but played from the S hand, 6@C is as good as 3 or 4NT|pg||
mb|p|nt|vugraphpl9: running scores http://b.poznan2011.pl/ot/orrleaderb.html|pg||
nt|jaapfr: at least -1|pg||

nt|fokal: in 2 @s they lose at least 1 @s 2 @c 2 @d and 1 (or 2) @h|pg||
nt|fokal: so it should be a push|pg||
nt|fokal: If N had redoubled , S might have X 2 @s with 3 Aces and 3 trumps|pg||
pc|dA|pc|d7|nt|mamos: quick hand?|pg||
nt|grebrof: not so quick in the start|pg||
nt|mamos: will be good for EW because inevitably some pairs will not find NT|pg||

nt|grebrof: discarding IS funny|pg||
nt|fokal: the 4 of @h should deny the K|pg||
nt|jaapfr: i hear next board Dutch in 7@H|pg||

nt|jaapfr: 7@H made|pg||

nt|jaapfr: this is 2@S-1 so tell them operator pls NEXT board:)|pg||

nt|fokal: so even if his partner's cards seem to show the @c king, there is no emergency|pg||
