Ireland Imps Pairs 2030 nightly

Ireland Imps ..A Training session not a game

Ireland Imp pairs 830pm every night ..24 boards but we can do 27 boards by request if the players will be willing to Zoom along. Swiss format.

The Ireland Imps Pairs is the best training session a pair can have for Teams. The boards are fairly exciting as I deal a few extra and throw out about 4 ordinary ones. You won't come away from an Ireland Imps pairs without some story.

Last night Wednesday in the absence of the all conquering Granda Tom we saw Enda Glynn and his dog take the victory with a nice 77 plus imps haul.
2nd place went to Mairead Haugh and Kathleen Hughes I think. I might have real names wrong but maitennis and katie121.
In 3rd place we had the rising stars of Malahide ......the kitkat sisters ...although still Inter B players.

Meanwhile the grapevine indicated that granda tom ran into a little bad luck as Sligos elite bridge players fought back.

Someone called planxky found a 4H that was unbeatable with a granda bid and granda had ground to make up.
Then Granda fired into 3NT and failed in the play of the cold contract. His play was not as good as his bidding. However Eamon is learning fron the granda ....

Here we see the granda open 1C with 2 pieces when he might open 1D with 3 pieces ...
Does he play the better minor or the 5 card majors or club can be short.
Then one sees the 2C response by the higheg with 12 hcp points and a 6 card clubs ...No alert no nothing ..whats the story here ... Surely 2C must be ALERTED .... ITS UNFAIR.

Above we see a hand from last night which caused a difference of opinion between North and South who would both consider themselves decent players. 

Let the auction decide. 

Murphyslaw's robot cast its vote on the bidding. 

Now for those who look at the flogger ...yes of course 3NT will make EW but who will

be bidding that contract. 

Tuesday night is Granda night

Last night in the Ireland Imps Pairs after a slow start the Granda moved into a high gear near the end.

Here we see the Granda open 1H and his partner seems to roll out the Gerber asking for Aces. 17 points and 3 card Heart support ...presume granda plays 5 majors. Granda does the beginner thing of showing his void in spades as an Ace so 2 aces. Bouyed by a good answer Grandma bids 5C which I think is the KINGS part of Gerber. Granda shows 3 of those ...No problem as Grandma only has one.
Now grandma bids 6H which is the end of the auction for ordinary players. There is no sensible reason to go on.
However as the Granda has shown in the past he is no ordinary mortal. 7H goes the Granda ...
He "does not know " about KQ of diamonds or Queen of clubs ..
With granda counting VOIDS as Aces and Kings grandma cannot know either ...could be a void in diamonds and Spade Ace ... who knows ..
However maybe it is some kind of different Big Dog GRRR BRRRR they play. Its unalerted so I have no information. All I know is a person I never heard of is crushing my competition and I want to learn from this chap so I can get better at bridge.

Here the Granda picks off 500 against zaczaczac and the robot in 4S. Granda makes the normal 2H overcall over 1S and zaczaczac jumps to 4S. Nobody knows who has what but the granda with 2 aces fires in a double and buys some fine cards up the North. Like going to Jonesboro market.
Down 2 vulnerable and the very effective Granda gathers in another 10 imps to his pile.

Granda and higheg have also been slaughtering the Sligo folk but the Sligo folk seem generous as far as I can see. They need to get a lot meaner and stop handing out gifts to Granda Tom. Sligo cannot be that dreadful at bridge that granda just turns up and bangs out 70% after 70% ...
One night recently the Sligos were in real generous form .... Granda banged out 83.5% ..

Monday night sottan and agusaris win

on Monday night sottan and agusaris nicked it from Enda Glynn and skibbereen with Cassidy and Terry in 3rd place.

Scannell Glynn take Sunday victory

Sunday July 26th saw Enda Glynn and Paul Scannell take the victory ahead of 59 other battling pairs. The strongly finishing bjoboru and Alan O'Sullivan had too much gap to make up after playing the leaders in the 2nd last round and failing to make inroads.

Last night Alan Pinder won the Ireland Imps Pairs after battling for the top spot with James Heneghan and Terry Walsh for almost 1 hour in the final 9 boards. 

Pinder organised 3 nice gains for himself over the 27 board session

Above the opponents found the going too tough in a possible making 6NT and pinder received a nice bonus. Another player sent a text noting strange times indeed.  

Above kayc decided she would try to disprove the law about the 5 level being for Dubs and does not apply to the Southerners. 

minus 800 later and maybe she is educated.

Finally on board 26 Pinder was able to push his boat away from the  Walsh and Heneghan dock and move towards the middle of the lake. 

James_H made a solid 2H bid in a like auction. Terry Walsh with 5 card support made a normal 3H push. The pushed opps went to 4D and James applied the sledge. Walshtr got shy and bid 4H and Pinders robocop issued justice. 

The majority of folks say robots are rubbish but any robot that can live and survive in Shark Heneghan and Walshtr waters is worth its weight in lead.

Finally the results .. I understand Alan Pinder operates out of Clarinda Park. 

I have a vague recollection of some folk trying to teach me bridge in Mullingar called Pinder.

Tonight it is 5 months until Xmas. So play Ireland imps pairs.

Last night well known Wexford pair Terry O'Hara and Davie Noonan dominated the Ireland imp pairs gathering a nice plus 72 imps to win by 30 imps or so. 

This included fending off thewitch by 6.5 imps in the last 3 boards and also a nice break when fionuna failed in 7NT donating another 16 imps 

as well as the 11 imps the other way if 7NT came home which it very well might have done except for a slight miscalculation in the play or maybe a slip of the brain or finger. Looks like the HEART finesse is required but I did not look too deeply .....I just looked North gets squeezed in the REDS..

So a 27 imp or so swing on one board.

zaczaczac wins again last night Thursday. The grapevine has indicated she must be a fabulous player. 

See zaczaczac and everyone elses results

On a more somber note another world champion admitted cheating online.

http://bridgewinners.com/article/view/confession-of-a-self-kibitzer-pt-2/

Ye can make up your own minds .... sylviash on BBO ...a Womens world champion with USA. 7 years after starting bridge she became a world champion. Surely if you are that good you don't need to cheat. 

This is at least the 4th announcement of a player who had no need to cheat doing it for some reason. 

Also even though the title says Confession .... an email from BBO caused the above confession. 

Fitzimons Murphy go well in Ireland imps

Last night saw 2 Malahide pairs going head to head at the top for a while followed and overtaken by gilda/sibh from time to time. 

Results of July 22nd

We started with a robot pair in for the first 2 rounds and then we managed to flag down murphyslaw in the fast lane for boards 7-24. 

Board 7 a flattish 3NT NS

Board 8 Murphy got pushed to 3H and went 1 off

Board 9 Murphy was heading for slam and stopped off in 5H which was going down but murphy remembered if you followed quickly with a high card you might put off the defender and quick as a flash Murphy had the defender distracted and wrapped up 5H for 7 imps in the bag. Throne defended once. 

Boards 10 and 11 were not worthy

So onto Board 12 where murphy was possibly subsiding in 5D but for some reason the vulnerable new arrivals decided to sacrifice or try 5S. Murphy took out his sledgehammer driver and swung at that for lots of mullah. 

Meanwhile thegarve was having trouble controlling the rampant mare zaczaczac who was running all over the place after receiving an early piece of congratulations from thegarve. Little did thegarve know but zaczaczac turned off the chat for the rest of the session in case he took it back in spades. One night recently an opponent asked thegarve was he okay. "Well its just that you seem to be having a one way conversation with yourself and the table" 

Meanwhile Granda Tom decimated the high class field assembled by World reknowned TD Fearghal O'Boyle. Bring me your best said Granda Tom as he bashed an 83.5% session past them. Funny thing is it looks like Granda or Higheg are very popular in Sligo as almost every opponent wanted to offer them free stuff. 

Granda has been ripping up a furrow through Sligo and Friends for the last 2 months and no sign of any fightback. If the Sligo and friends need a good teacher I could rent them out thegarve. He would teach them how to defeat the all conquering granda. 

Granda's and Highegs worst score was 47% on one board ...the rest were all over average ... when for some reason he took a finesse that was pointless. The only blemish on a massive night .... one can only think that he miscounted his tricks as no decent player would ever take that finesse ..... unless I am missing something.

The Ireland Imps Pairs is the best training session a pair can have for Teams. The boards are fairly exciting as I deal a few extra and throw out about 4 ordinary ones. You won't come away from an Ireland Imps pairs without some story.

Last night we had zaczaczac and her partner and 24 kibitzers ambling along. 

After a quick start zaczaczac added up 24 plus imps on the first 6 boards which brought her to table 1. Waiting here were Justin Corfield and Norbert Van Dutchman. A formidable pair of opponents. A 6 boards of grit and determination and plenty of time Justin found the right line in 3NT to send thegarve packing. On the next round thugs and minorprob were waiting and added more fuel to thegarves fire. They took thegarve for 2000 on a previous night so he was growling into his wimbledon market beer. 

So this left poor zaczaczac relegated to about table 9 and no sign of "enlever la batt" 

This saying  comes from a Friday night imps game where the Bat was raised on achieving 50 imps in the plus column....akin to a cricket chap who gets 50 runs or is it 100.  So about 6 imps in the plus after 15 boards.

about 13 imps were gathered in from the Maths chaps .. hard fought imps.

on board 16 4S is booked to go off and the opening leader might have found the diamond lead if he could trust the Zac and Garve bidding adding up to 10 diamonds.
Tommy Tranny would have had it down in 7 seconds so a change to put thegarve on his back went away, loads of other people also wrongsided the hand but most of those defenders also missed the opening salvo. So 4 imps to zacblue.

Board 17 saw another chance for Doublin but a non cover of the Heart Jack on trick 4 and thegarve was up and running with the telephone raised in the air.

Board 18 saw some competition but the NS failed to go the extra yard to bidding and making a very lucky 10 tricks in spades ...
So missed chances and the zaczaczac was up and running, Enleve

The Ireland Imps Pairs is the best training session a pair can have for Teams. The boards are fairly exciting as I deal a few extra and throw out about 4 ordinary ones. You won't come away from an Ireland Imps pairs without some story.

So last night Monday the powerful anonymous dadscar and jacksfox dominated the Ireland imps pairs again. So we will examine how 2nd place got on.

Dadscar and Jacksfox again

Board 8 saw our boys defeat 3NT after a Heart lead ... Those AKJTxx might better serve as trumps.

Then our two boys managed to make 3NT when the cards are against them.

I guess the opposition were on their side ..

Names withheld in case of suing.

Then our boys got the doubling stick out and gave the winners a little trimming in 4S. 

Finally Wiggy advanced too far on this own after making a penaly double and his partner took it out he took out his hurl and boldly bid 3NT. The liamog treated that a slap of his wooden spoon and loads of imps for the runners up

Earlier on the two intrepids tried out David Burns Law. David Burn is seldom wrong so the lads suffered a little going backwards and went down in 2S after the other 3 card lad decided to raise the ante. 

Finally the results and its dadscar driven by jackfox. 

Dave Terry made a good showing in 4th place with David O'Brien.

Lets see what happened July 19

The Ireland Imps Pairs is the best training session a pair can have for Teams. The boards are fairly exciting as I deal a few extra and throw out about 4 ordinary ones. You won't come away from an Ireland Imps pairs without some story.

Dadscar driven by JackFoz won the day. A steady stream of regular gains.

Link to BBO scores of July 19

Board 11 saw a generous handout from some opponents not keen on a nice slam
Seems like a nice diamond slam East West. After East opened 1D below it seems West was not really at the ball park as 2D bid hardly describes the hand whether it is normal 6-9 2D Acol or an inverted minor. If my partner opened 1D I would be seeing about 6 losers and investigating a slam.
So 3NT+2 did not do much for East West but a nice free bonus for Dadscar.

on hand 12 below we see the struggling pair above put in a couple of spade bids to slow down the North Souths but to no avail as NS reach a small slam in clubs. With 20 opposite 11 you would think most pairs would try their luck in 6C or 6NT. However half the field stayed in game and a couple of pairs had some disasters and went horribly wrong. Thus the small slam gained 6.5 imps.

Board 18 and disaster awaited 7 pairs which is about half the field. Most of those 7 wrongsided the NT contract and got a club lead and down they went. 

A couple of pairs tried the 4-3 fit in Hearts and they hit a 5-1 split in trumps causing them grief. 

Here on board 21 we have 13 tricks with a couple of good Queen guesses but in our competition we had 11 pairs not even reaching game let alone any slam. Some work to be done. our intrepid pair played 3NT the right way up and got a large bonus again for doing little. 

And the final results of July 19th

Last nights winners were Marian Croke and Maria Whelan ahead of John Comyn and curragh8 and in 3rd place we had Mrs O'Donnell and Mr Garvey.

A nice little slam on board 1 .. one pair left the opps play 3S despite slam for themselves
Board 6 was a sweetie for the technical player who on playing Diamond Ace picks off king.
Board 13 saw several folk attempt 4S and 3S and even 2S and it was too tough.
Those in 4S went mostly 3 off and sometimes 2 off ..13 opposite 9 was overbid.

Wed night Ireland Imps 830pm

Tonight we are on at 830pm for the Wednesday issue of the Ireland imps. Given tough competition from Regent Malahide and whatever Diarmuid and Fearghal run it could be a small crowd. We will see how it goes.

Last night after the Imp Pairs was done I went for a little game on the WBridge5 Daily tournament.
It was a good game I played.

The Big Rasher and Sausage    16 board daily competition

http://bridgez.net:3002/ConnectingPlayer.html

This separates the ordinary from the extraordinary ....I must be extra
You will find the best player in Malahide Regional Bridge Club 23% behind me on July 14th list.
Elvis was kind of dead yesterday ... Galligan got a good start and poured it on ...

1st place out of near 600 .... and there are many serious players here ...
Steamed Hams does not have the stamina for the long haul ... but he does place well the odd time.

Tuesday Night Imps

Tuesday Night and 19 tables showed up. This event is played as Leaders play Leaders. Unfortunately the BBO Swiss does not stop folk meeting twice so I think last night a pair played 12 boards against each other.

The Westmeaths won Ben Dandy

Monday Night Imps

Monday night and it was fairly quiet with just the 11 tables. However we still had a good game.
Winners were Emer Joyce and Bill Hunter.

Bridgewebs page for Ireland imps      All July results can be found at the link with hands.

It must be great to be so wonderful

Last night we had a decent Ireland Imps Pairs. 25 tables although the robot was in action at a few.
The usual 24 boards but James_H turned up with Terry Walsh and pummelled the field mostly despite the great and wonderful efforts of the AFC Wimbledon muse.
Granda Tom came with a late run as he gathered in 39 imps on last 6 boards. However James and Terry had built up a 60 imp bag before going into a ding dong 9 board battle with thegarve and zaczaczac.

https://www.bridgewebs.com/irelandimps/

Here on Board 7 we have the big swinging trunk bouyed by thegarve noted success in 7NT on board 2 powering into 6D only to find he has no play to make slam. 

9 imps in the outbox 

Unfortunately the Heneghan Walsh partnership arrived in a comfortable 5C contract and the Elephant could not swing his trunk at all. Main problem was many less wonderful players than Terry and James meandered in 3NT waters and went down. Others stayed in part scores ...so unfortunately the elephant got no rolo .... another 9 imps in the outbox. 

Unfortunately for the trunk the Walsh and Heneghan bid another minor suit game which was kind of unbreakable again. However all those folk dreaming of being wonderful like thegarve don't do the work required and wonder why he is so wonderful. 

Another 10 imps in the outbox. The postman is going to be busy. 

As James says the imps is random ...did not do much wrong it seems but nearly 30 imps downwards. 

Well I guess if they stay in 5D on board 7 and make that things are somewhat different .

Now its only about 15 imps in the out column ...a big difference.

An interesting Hand 2 many went down

Last night in the Ireland Imp Pairs I noted a hand where many declarers and defenders missed their chance. Happily for many of the defenders the declarers were all lacking and 2-3 undertricks were procured.

So most defenders led off Spade Ace ...and another spade.
Now all declarers can consider making 4H. One succeeded but he got help after butchering.
I think the card play is gone from Irish bridge as folk don't play the old games any longer.

4H minus 3 ...are ye serious ...

one also notes the opening leader with KQT93 did not bother leading that suit

Ireland Imps Pairs July 9th 2020

Tonight poor granda and higheg got treated badly in the Ireland imp pairs.
Board 16 Grandpa arrived into thegarves 4S auction at a late stage

Nothing wrong with this on the face of it being favourable vulnerability.

Granda was lucky partner had a few nice pieces or it was going to be 1100 or 1400.

Like take away Diamond Ace or JT of Hearts or both. 

A brave man but he lost 800. 

Someone like me would be getting in early with a 4H bid out of turn or 4H over 2NT ..make thegarve guess not offer him a choice of 800+ or his game. thegarve is not going to lie down and pass 5H like the local club cheering show. Thegarve is unaware that granda is the greatest bridge player that ever lived. 

......................................

Then Board 18 saw thegarve whinging again 

His partner has made a 4H overbid ...looks to me like 3H would be normal and he is yelling to tournament about granda leading Club Queen. Even a blind man or woman would lead a club and I don't mean any offence to those who cannot see. They would have heard partner bidding 3C and led their partners suit. thegarve says loads of sensible stuff but this one is beyond me. 

.................................................

Still congratulations are in order for granda and higheg who have turned up 5 times at Sligo Fearghal events and posted an average of 69% .... I cannot do that in Malahide Monday AM and I am a far superior player to granda and my opponents are of similar level to Sligos players. Maybe Sligos are stronger. I must find out if there is any bridgewebs in Fermanagh or wherever Granda hangs out. 

Someone indicated it might be the 2nd coming of remnart who is also a ferocious scorer since COVID lockdown. Most likely Granda is too strong a player for the average Sligo punter or maybe higheg is a master of bridge.

Tranmers White Magic

Ireland Imps Pairs .. 830pm ... CBAI125559 ...All tournaments or Ireland Imps
It is visible from 1830..

Tonight I am using my CBAI account with a 2 BBO$ charge. I am not fully sure how it works on the rebates. I know BBO takes half or maybe even 60-40. I only read the piece about how to setup.
I still have until end of July with my free account and will use that on quiet days. Any night its quiet I will put the event back up with the Free account.

Last night the all conquering Tranmers destroyed most of what came in front of them.
Strangely there were a few slip ups.

On board 1 .. they doubled 3H and Paul dunced it when he must have misclicked in his rush around the table. Stubbed his foot on the poker too. Good enough for him

On board 2 .. Paul attempted to let out 6D but it needed a double dummy play

Unfortunately it was too tough for declarer and 500 went to the Tranmers.

Next we saw the alleged Great Man doubling 5D but it was stone cold solid.

However even my dog would be able to make this and he is barely able to walk.

Then the poor teenager Luca Crone strayed onto the Tranmer table but with confidence as he was accompanied by his teacher jonny. I told bobz to the table you are going to get your skin peeled off.
The confidence Bobz123 said "Bring it on "

For a moment I thought the auction was ended at 4S and later at 5S but 

the weaker Tranmer was only treading water and roared forward with some cuebids. 

Eventually jonny got brave and decided to double. Within a second old man Tranmer had the ribber bridge blue card out. Jonny was in the snare. 

6S might have been okay as a sacrifice but who knows what reevaluation happens then. 

Then a normal club lead and a miraculous Heart switch from the weaker Tranmer.

Killed 3NT stone dead just as Luca was getting a claim ready. 

Finally Mrs Tranmer laid another trap and luca stepped in again ..

Minus 31 imps and skinned alive. Luca will need to go to Harry Potter wizard training after that.

Damn I spilled my tippex on the screen before I done print screen.
Anyway the Tranmer score was too good and would cause embarrassment to the other players
If you need to see it
Tranmer 111 its on the left
