Phil Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Diamond was really dominant. The 30 'middle boards' yesterday against ZImmerman where they gave up a total of about 11 IMPs sticks out in my mind. WD Fred and Brad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberyeti Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Congrats. How did Brad make 7H on Board 20 ? Someone revoked ?Standard double squeeze. Opening heart lead picked up the Q, cash 4 hearts, 2 diamonds and ruff one, a spade and 2 clubs leaving:[hv=n=sqjhdqc&w=s8h7dc7&e=sa6hd4c&s=s109hdcj]399|300|[/hv] Now on the 7♥ a diamond can't be thrown or the 4 is good so a spade is thrown, a diamond is thrown from dummy and RHO is squeezed in the blacks.

G_R__E_G Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Congrats Fred and team!!! It's well deserved, as the whole team played great throughout. I remember a couple of years ago a thread where it was suggested that the sponsor pair on this team was not as strong as some others and Fred was quick to disagree. Fred was obviously correct as Diamond/Platnick played some great bridge (IMHO). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
