Ireland Open Imps Pairs at 8pm every night. This is a good training session as well as competition. You won't leave this event without some story. John Comyn and Eimer rolled back the years last night or else folk offered presents.
Bridgebase online competitive all tournaments and search for eamongall.
Hand 4 from last night was interesting.
After 3 passes South opens 1D and gets a 1H from North.
What next .. Some bid 3C and reached the making 5C.
Murphyslaw bid 2C and was left there.
Sean Connor 3rd in hand launched a 1H opener against zaczaczac to no avail. 3zac just bid 2NT showing 55 both minors and thegarve pushed on with 4C and they arrived in 5C.
More interesting was a few tables choice of opening bid with the South hand. Several tried the 1C opening with a reverse into diamonds following. This does not feel right to me with 55. One pair even tried 1C opening followed by a 3D reverse but getting left in 4C means the partner was using a different page of notes.

or Google Ireland imps and use the bridgewebs to examine hand 4 or other interesting hands and see what the different players do.
Lets see what else happened
Here we saw poor Murphyslaw lose near 7 imps for doing nothing wrong. Opponents played in 4H and made 11. 3 pairs bid a going down slam and another pair had a bidding accident or misclick or something and languished in 1D contract. Some days the slam will make but need a 2-2 trumps break and getting said guess right as missing the queen.
Undos were allowed but sometimes there is no chance for an undo as it goes 1D p p and the next chap passes and the hand is visible so whats the move ..the hand has been seen.
One just has to be more careful with the mouse or touchpad or whatever.
Also BBO has setting for needing a double click
