cherdano Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 What a finish by icycookie!I am not sure I can cope with the pressure of defending humankind's honour. I don't even know whether I should upgrade the challenges to advanced bots - maybe I will do a practice round playing IMPs to get used to the basic bot... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerriman Posted May 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Indeed, congrats icycookie on an impressive score, GIB on proving all of the doubters wrong and commiserations to garant_7 for missing out on the semis by just a board and a half in his first tournament. Semifinals are icycookie vs twisterrz, and GIB vs cherdano - 4 challenges of 16 boards each. cherdano, perhaps PM me the results instead of posting them here, and I may attempt a brief commentary. Am looking forward to this one :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige1 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Thank you, again, SMerriman for organizing this. Good luck CherDano, Gib, IcyCookie, and TwisterZ. Looking forward to an exciting and educational KO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barmar Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 cherdano, hold off on playing your SF against the bot. I'm looking into whether we'll pay for your entries so you can play against advanced bots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerriman Posted May 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Commentating a match is much harder that I thought :) Haven't had much time recently so will just post the first two quarters here: GIB won 4 of the first 8 boards, winning the first quarter 9-7:https://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:d638488a.7e75.11e9.a064.0cc47a39aeb4-1558738018&u=cherdano&v3b=web#row- cherdano then bettered this by winning 4 of the first 5 boards of the second quarter:https://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:6774a27d.8016.11e9.a064.0cc47a39aeb4-1558916932&u=cherdano&v3b=web Half way score: cherdano 16.5 - 15.5 GIB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
