This evening I was reviewing the big scores from Malahide this morning to see what tips I can learn for when the COVID tide recedes. I spotted an opponent of one of the leading pairs bidding 6NT. However he declared from wrong side and I presumed leading pair got him down for their 100%. I looked anyway. I could not see any way to lose the slam.
Unfortunately a trick ahead of himself probably and instead of a nice 100% in the bag he ended up with 0% as he locked himself in dummy to lose the last 2 tricks in Hearts. I did this myself once in Drogheda Congress was racing towards making 7C grand slam against Ciara Burns and Murchan but got a trick ahead of myself and blew it .
Last night in the Ireland Imps one chap called the other a chimp for bidding 3H jump bid and not alerting it. Then he called me a jellyfish...Hopefully someday Garve meets the Lions Mane and finds out the real deal.
I mean does this really need alerting. Its simple Acol bid ..limit raise 10-12 hcp.
Then he started crying about 4C makes but sure the robot does not understand alerts.
Then he put on a big sulk and would not bid on the next board.
Eventually I had to put in a robot to play last hand of the set. A grown man sitting there sulking.
What a whinger and crybaby.
However at least he is an honest whinger so we won't be blocking him yet.
I guess he will do a sulk now and not appear for several days but he will return. They always return.
I do understand a little bit but sulker is basing his whinge on allways3 being an Expert. Its great for allways3 that thegarve rates him as an expert player.
