gwnn Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 So score one for the commentors. As you were thinking after winning the ♠K (eventually playing club Ace), one of the commentors said you where thinking why didn't I unblock the king...I'm afraid that was Bas Drijver that they were talking about (on wkbridge2011.nl). Still yes pretty funny that they got it at least a little right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwnn Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 I know, but the commentators were talking about Drijver. He took the J, A, low, then low, K and then started to think. One commentator said "I wonder what he's thinking about now.." and the other one replied "he must be thinking why he didn't unblock at trick 1!".

Aberlour10 Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Just out of curiosity, what are the medial echoes about this success in NL? Does it get into the main tv news, any tv reports? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y66 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 The Netherlands team played with formidable skill and consistency. Congratulations to them. What a pleasure it has been following the adventures of USA2 this year and seeing them play so well in the U.S. trials and throughout this tournament.

Lutsen Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 I heard a radio interview yesterday evening.Not seen anything on television, but the weekend is not over yet. It was an item on "Studio Sport" (THE national TV sports programme) saturday evening. Combined as a report of the WC organization and The Netherlands winning, with short interviews with some of the players and the coach. I suspect all newspapers will have it covered in their sports section on Monday (no papers on Sundays in The NL), they aready covered NL reaching the finals and the progress in the Finals. But to be honest, bridge doesn't normally generate any interest in the main stream media, just as anywhere else I suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Even though we finished 2nd I think this is a great marketing opportunity for our new ACBL. I'm not holding my breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Cold after the A♦? Hmm, just duck the A♣ later in the hand and declarer has 4 losers. Oh, you must mean it is cold if he finesses the 10♠. Yes, that is what declarer did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
