Wow, this hand was great:

This wasn't the auction, but with Justin declarer, and this was the play to the first tricks. I think that double dummy there's a double winkle here (at least I think that's what it's called) to make. South has to overtake the heart and lead another (sadly Justin didn't overtake the heart here, I thankfully had the easier time of seeing this double dummy and with GIB). Notice that both players have to hold onto 2 spades (or else he might be able to drop the Q or pin the T) and so they'll both be threatened with being endplayed in diamonds.

 

The other table was played by north, and the defense had an easier time.

I ***** *****ed up the most beautiful ***** position, where I knew the whole hand at trick 2 and what I was going to do, I went through all the hard parts and then ***** blocked myself and was in the wrong hand. ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****

 

Polish commentators/experts agreed that this play so far was something for the teaching books, and than.. forget it, you got enough VPs and the ex-juniors from Poland need some too heh:)

But Grue made 4 runnung KQJ pitching K. Only 4 declarers did, and I saw 2 other top tables playing the same a messing the end game, one of them even with biding evidence of where AQ were lieing.

 

Also 2 more things: First of all you couldn't make the hand double dummy, a trump shift at trick 2 put you down anyway. It was all a defensive mistake you let go.

 

Also remember that getting carry over against Italy might be worth a lot more than some VPs.

 

BTW On vugraph you unblocked everything right, then in the endgame the play froze and it ended in 1 down. No clue of what actually happened for you to block.

I am so ***** angry with myself, it would be one thing if I didn't even see what was going on but it's like a book hand and I saw it and I ***** up the easy part??? WOW

 

Welcome to the human race. BTW BTDT (too many times, of course once is too many :) ) Just be glad you don't do this often or at least as often as the guys you are playing.

All today it is almost impossible to get onto the World bridge site to get up to date scores due to the level of traffic. Not impressive.

Thank heaven for BBO vugraph so that we can at least follow scores in individual matches, but if anyone knows how the overall scores are looking and is prepared to post them here I'm sure people will be interested.....
