nt|sybarra: the defense was a killer here |pg||
nt|sybarra: in our room |pg||
mb|1C|mb|p|mb|1D|mb|1S|mb|p|nt|petergill: In the Open field, 12 NS pairs so far have played Bd 32, for two -1100's and two -750's |pg||
mb|p|mb|2H|nt|petergill: One of those Open 1100's was in 4@SX|pg||
mb|p|mb|2S|nt|ritong: vives is not at ease  K865 rates to be a single stopper|pg||
mb|p|mb|3C|mb|p|mb|3H|nt|ritong: so if in 3NT you likely have to be able to cash 8 direct winners after the announced @s lead|pg||
nt|petergill: Sandra Rimstedt did well at the other table not to let NS off the hook - by her disciplined (forcing) Pass of 3@D, when many lesser players in her seat would bid 3@H|pg||
mb|p|mb|4H|mb|p|mb|p|mb|p|pc|sA|pc|s5|nt|ritong: therefore they go for the moysian fit  i like this|pg||
