nt|barnets: if he brings this home|pg||
nt|granguru:  must play the @H7|pg||
nt|granguru:  as leader has not @HKQ10|pg||
nt|barnets: the next and final set starts in about 30 mins|pg||
nt|granguru:  it is unmaterial I think|pg||
nt|ritong: it is, yes|pg||
nt|kit: This is difficult hand with shortage of dummy entries|pg||

nt|barnets: without tablet you need web version to hear voice|pg||
nt|kit: and the defense will have to play something|pg||
nt|barnets: bridgebaseonline.com|pg||
nt|kit: Might have been better for East to duck the 7 of hearts|pg||

nt|kit: I'm surprised by the spade shift -- seems like West would have given spade count.|pg||
nt|serhat: also first @S play by Fantoni was early I think..|pg||
pc|d4|pc|d9|pc|dK|pc|d7|pg||
pc|c5|nt|barnets: should be a very exciting last set|pg||

nt|ritong: @cHx with east|pg||
nt|serhat: why?|pg||
nt|ritong: if so, east is cokked|pg||
nt|ritong: @cJ woulda lose a trick|pg||
nt|serhat: he cant loose more then 3 I think.. so J was safe |pg||
nt|ritong: not sure this 100% sure, but guess he reasoned that way|pg||
nt|Vugraphzay: I am shutting down the table, be right back!|pg||

nt|jillan:  6@S is on a finesse, but 6@H has many more chances|pg||
nt|jillan:  but still would probably have gone down on a @D lead and a spade retunr|pg||
nt|jillan:  which happened against the English women!|pg||
nt|jillan:  Thanks Robin ;) and all|pg||
