Link to BBO results
Now BBO have some software for checking out the classy bids and last night I got a hit.
I asked a well qualified tournament director and it indicated the BBO robot might have a point.
The BBO robot said it would bid 4NT itself but only at favourable vulnerability and only if it knew it could not get doubled.
However all was well for our brave player as she was playing against one of those Wests with no doubles in the box. This is the clearest DOUBLE I ever saw. The Sonya offers up a 300 penalty and our lad chooses to give 100 instead.
And then he turns on the waterworks and starts whinging that he got bullied by a young girl.
and then the aging retired bishop joins the fray and he puts on a big whinge as well.
However all of this is bluster to hide the weird and wonderful 5S bid.

For some reason they wanted kibitzers silenced ...Are kibitzers not entitled to watch our wonderful game and enjoy the sights of how our relatively good player play and bid.
.................The same pair of unfortunates ran into more bad luck a few nights back when running into the fantastic lead. All that happened was the person led the unbid suit and struck the money. I mean the opps said they got the reds and they are not bothered about spades .. So what else ..
So the opponents bid 3NT with 13 counts and you are to rise in the East.
Diamonds and Hearts are the opening salvos from NS. You mention your raggedy spades getting no favourable vul noise from the brain of Hull. So might we lead a club .. and as the good book says ..lead an honor in case of success...
And now the whinging started ... instead of congratulating the opposition on a fantastic lead.
And then they mentioned social distancing .. as well as no kibitzers allowed ..
So nobody gets to have a gawk at Kinder playing the Omar Sharif hands.
Thomas Hanlon knew Omar Sharif as I understand it ...even played bridge with him.
...................
As Souness said to Pogba ... "Put your medals on the table .. I have a big table "
A few years ago I was defending a slightly overbid 2NT contract like what you get in Malahide regularly as they always rise the partner with 15-16 and the partner often has only 6 hcp.
So halfway through the hand the opponent with the 1NT bid had coughed up 4-5 points ..so would not own the Spade Ace .. so I placed the King of Spades on the table from Kx and hit gold dust.
My partner owned AQJT of spades .. As he gushed about the switch .. I indicated but you signalled for a spade switch two times. The man is still trying to work out his signaling method for that.
I was just counting the points ..
