Last night I was in the pub just short of midnight. I was playing a few hands
of bridge and the incredible BJ O'Brien crossed my mind. You see we had held a
few discussions earlier today where he was unhappy with my views of his hands.
So tonight when I made the guinness fueled overbid of 3 ♣ I thought of BJ.
Now I only had taken a few sips of my first pint

Of course my robot took me seriously and put me in 3 NT ...The other robot
against me figured I was having a laugh and doubled me ..
So they led a ♥ and I had to win and I played a ♣ and remembering yer man had doubled I played low and won the trick. Good start ....as BJ would say. BJ is a highly under estimated player. Two more clubs extracted 2 ♦ discards .. and robot on lead after ♣ K went after ♦s.
Galligan noted 10 ♦s gone
Winning 3rd ♦ trick Galligan advanced a ♠ and ♠ K appeared. Cashed 2 ♣s and ending in the North hand Galligan advanced ♥ Q and that was that I think ...

Yesterday afternoon in the 6th round of the Euro Seniors event BJ O'Brien and Ranald Milne seemed to play awfully good in my humble opinion. Long may it continue.
However one worries about Adam Mesbur chewing his nails and Nick Fitzgibbon grinding his teeth as they have a nice afternoon off. Round 6 looked like a good day off .. .especially when boards 15 nnd 16 arrived with BJ +550 and - 600 ... turned into about 20 imps
