Having gone down by 21 in the first match, I won the next two by 24 and 17, taking a 20 IMP lead. I needed it, hanging on for a 5 IMP victory. But only thanks to a reoccurrence of Gib throwing unnecessary high cards - had it not done so on trick 2 of the fifth to last board, the match would amazingly have ended in a tie.

Phil Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I never saw our results but I'm positive I lost. GIB support let's just take out all calls from system definitions that show "25+". Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude03 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I'm currently 8 imps down against broze after 16 boards. We agreed to play 64, so I just hope he hasn't forgotten about it. I messaged him this morning asking for when he'd be on, but not had a reply yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgoetze Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 What is the rule for beers? Does gib owe me or does my challenger?The rule is that if GIB E or GIB W converts a ♦7 against you, you owe everyone in the tournament a beer.

phoenix214 Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Second match between me and Phil 26-25 in favor of Phil - overall quite close. both of us pushed once quite a bit too much and ended up with a big swing otherwise lots of lost tricks by either of us in partscores.Also got endplayed once by Gib - Decided to open 1D on a 4333 count - gib bids 3D on a 6D 9count with side AQ. Since the bid is a preempt, I have no extras so pass. OT obvious 3N which makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nullve Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Board 3, match 1: Had already decided to duck the opening lead in both hands and didn't really pay attention to East's 8. (Would Gib have played the 8 from any tripleton? I suspect not.) Board 1, match 2: When East led the ace of trumps and switched to diamonds I assumed trumps were 4-1; but after ruffing the last diamond I should have realised that East started with 2542 and just played the last two rounds of trumps to West's queen, which would then take the last trick for the defence. Trivial, perhaps, but I've missed trump plays like that before. (Maybe Rodwell has a name for them? :)) Board 16, match 2: Interesting decisions to make, both in bidding and play. Bidding: Trying to find the best contract while figuring out what phoenix214 might do at the other table. Play: At first, a squeeze in the pointed suits against West seemed very likely (just give him 5440), but when he followed suit on the ♥A, suggesting 5530, I had to choose between the double finesse in diamonds and a miracle. (I chose the latter, having seen a few below beginner-level defensive plays by Gib recently.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
