nt|inquiry: look like Ejeblad has a great result on this hand in the open room|pg||
nt|inquiry: lots of imps possible here|pg||
mb|2H|nt|kit: Meckstroth has a good hand, but no convenient action|pg||
nt|me argent: just a question how many imps they will lose from about 10 to 18 imps|pg||
mb|p|nt|landen: quandary, hates 4 card overcalls and hates passing this much so doubled?|pg||
mb|2N|nt|kit: Double is very dangerous with a stiff diamond|pg||
nt|picix: prosto do celu...|pg||
mb|p|mb|3H|nt|kit: but on a good day partner doesn't bury you with diamond bids|pg||
nt|inquiry: well this is slam zone now... imps are coming to the leader for sure... 5@H, 5@D, 2@S ruff, and @CA.. they just need to avoid playing in @cs... |pg||
mb|p|nt|picix: Jak mawia Pan Zdzienicki: "Koñcówki siê goli|pg||
nt|picix: a szlemiki siê licytuje..."|pg||
mb|p|nt|bigtrain: this is the way to show a 16-18 4-card @S raise|pg||
nt|inquiry: if they bid the grand, will all Harris's hard work to go up by 18 in this set be wiped out? Bridge can be a cruel game.... |pg||
nt|me argent: can be cruel?|pg||
nt|inquiry: well to me it is almost aways... :)|pg||
mb|p|nt|me argent: to everyone|pg||
pc|dA|nt|inquiry: I am thinking on this auction, 5@D is forcing... we will see if Stansby bids again .. .that will tell us as he has so little... but then they open very light... :)|pg||
pc|d5|nt|kit: not much the defense can do here|pg||
pc|d8|pc|dJ|pg||
pc|sA|nt|me argent: stansby knows despite his minimum he has great fitting cards 4 partner|pg||
nt|inquiry: no way for EAST to know about @CA I think, so this might be the end.. on the other hand,.... his partner has to be inviting 7 and he has AKQ of trumps.....|pg||
pc|s4|nt|kit: Best defense is actually a diamond shift, and hope declarer is unable to find his ninth trick|pg||
nt|bigtrain: 3 is a standard card... meckwell normally play upside-down carding|pg||
nt|bigtrain: this is an exception|pg||
nt|landen: Not likely looking at mech's heart holding|pg||
nt|kit: But on the auction, declarer can't very well get it wrong -- Meckstroth would be squeeze in 3 suits on the run of the diamonds|pg||
pc|s5|nt|me argent: he chickened out he knew it was rgt to bid with those @Ds but he just couldnt bring himself to do it|pg||
nt|inquiry: It seems like it must be... right to bid on.... and this hand is typical of their light openings.... even vul|pg||
pc|s7|pg||
nt|me argent: but it was the rgt decesion as the OR result indicates|pg||
pc|dK|pc|dT|nt|kit: Meckstroth is basically hoping that his partner has the diamond stopped|pg||

pc|h5|pc|hK|nt|bigtrain: i have to admit, i would have strongly considered 3@S with eric's hand|pg||

pc|hA|pg||
pc|s2|nt|frajerzyna: a tu jest szansa na zapis dla NS |pg||
pc|sK|nt|kit: Rodwell will shift to what?  A trump could pick up partner's Qx, but could be right if declarer has doubleton diamond|pg||
nt|kit: or even if declarer has 3 diamonds maybe|pg||
nt|inquiry: there is a chance to go down here. the 4-0 @S split being unexpected... Got to figure @DA with EAST and probably will continue top @D however.... for ruffing finessee....|pg||

nt|Walddk2:   Tromsø map:  http://www.destinasjontromso.no/  - &  Trondheim:   http://www.visit-trondheim.com/|pg||
nt|dan_ehh: a nice end position if north plays a @S, E will have to play the jack and overtake in dummy or win in hand according to south's dicard|pg||
nt|Walddk2: Called an entry-shifting squeeze|pg||
nt|lebridgeur: ok spec  tell that casing the second @d was the mistake   he sould have ruffed it !|pg||

nt|kit: A lot of pitfalls this hand -- even if Rosenberg gets the hearts right, he has problems|pg||
nt|kit: and he may take two spade finesses, which would be bad|pg||
nt|kit: he is worried about his third club -- he fears a 6-2 split after the overcall|pg||
nt|kit: But Meckstroth did pass as dealer, which places a lot of cards in Rodwell's hand and makes it more likely clubs are 5-3|pg||
