Aoife and Peter placed first ...
The BBO results
The below piece is written totally in jest but thegarve decided he needed to raise the bat for his partner.
"A couple of pointers. (1) Carolyns has an apostrophe; (2) hen pecked, as she will tell you, is both untrue and is only one word (3) Caz has made plenty of grand slams. Quite condescending that too."
Thats the kind of partner everyone should have..
Anyway it reached the last trump and the hidden hand got down to AQxx of diamonds
and the North hand had HK and 4 diamonds to 109 and fell from grace allowing
the non henpecked Caz to roll home the rest of the tricks.
The night before North had told me he was a good friend of zaczaczac but hardly meant to give
her a free grand slam. Thus Caz made her very first grand slam in bridge for this month.
Meanwhile Caz and Martin went to work on MrT in 4S
There are 10 tricks according to the flogger which everyone swears by when waving it at their partner. However this is not always the way things work out. To make the flogger score on a deal one might need to do many things correct and any one of them leads to down 1 or 2.
Anyway the all conquering MrT of the night before found the going a little tougher tonight.
I am told the above hand is fascinating by a capable player.
The re playable version Anyway the Empire hit back with a vengeance last night holding the accomplished Mr and Mrs T to a mere 10 imps of plus ... The Jam factory door was slammed shut.
However I expect the Ts to return tonight or soon with another large imp collection.
Speaking of imp collectors .. I once played on a team with a chap called John Armstrong ...
Now it was Pivot and he did not have to partner me but I heard him described as an Imp machine.
It was the Seagull Cup in Portcrawl ....as Patrick Jourdain said at the time ... something about getting dumped on by seagulls .... It was for those knocked out of the two main events in Portcrawl Congress.
