March 21st Ireland Imp Pairs results

Good morning folks

Ireland Imp Pairs Every night at 8pm ..Free Tourney
Open to all Ireland flags..message eamongall if you cannot get in. However change to an Ireland South flag and its usually ok. 

I think BBO selects the current group of Ireland flags and my followed list at creation of the event so I need to refresh if a person changes from say Northern Ireland to Ireland flag. 

If you want to play for first time .. best not arrive at 758pm .. look in earlier and try registering. Tourney is visible from about 615pm.


Last night we reached 19 tables of the nightly Ireland Imps Pairs. I think this was the 10th night in a row. We had many relatively fine players last night. Possibly the greatest player present was a man who shocked a group of Northern Ireland internationals during a conversation. They asked his strength and when I said .."Better than anyone in this room"  they balked and told me I was talking rubbish. I pointed out Tommy Garvey and said ...Ask him if ye want to know..

5 minutes later I heard NIBU NPC phrasing the question to Tommy Garvey.

3rd best player in full country of GREAT BRITIAN was the shocking answer. 

NO IT IS NOT BJ O'Brien. 

However he was unable to make a dent in the Ireland Imp Pairs 

While having a brief look around the hands I spotted that hands 13 and 16 were very interesting. 

Here is hand 13 

The players shown are used for display only not to highlight their actions. 

Annao was allowed home in 3NT here as the defenders played cautiously.

Again the players are for display purposes only .. they are not for sale.

Finally we have the hand record file... you should be able to increase the size with some kind of zoom tool or copy the image and manipulate it somehow or just increase web browser zoom in top right corner of most browsers ...the 3 dots ..click on them

I am advised I should apologize for reporting Joan Kennys failure to make 3DX a few nights ago.
I presume I will also have to apologize to the rest of ye who failed on Boards 13 and 16 too.
No wonder the carpets are 1 foot above concrete in Ireland with all the stuff that gets brushed under them. I have not examined boards 1-12 or 14 15 yet to see if there is any more stuff for under the carpet.

Ireland Imp Pairs tonight March 22nd at 8pm
