Ireland Open Imps Pairs at 8pm every night on BBO. This is a good training session as well as competition. You won't leave this event without some story.
Last night Granda Tom paid us a visit but he was not on top form. He got lucky on a few boards but also got hopped on in 5HX once and bid a no hope slam that was allowed make.

Results can be found above.
7S is a tad unfortunate but its not the 13 tricks you can count slam and it seems to need a finesse as you can hardly eat all those hearts so against the odds unless you are losing heavily.
Going down in 6S is bizarre and costs their team a slam swing which is about 17 imps in this case and could be as much as 27 imps if the 7S folk stayed in 6S making.
I did not even look to see who the butcher was but he loses nothing and I lose 12 imps or more for doing nothing wrong except playing against a limited computer.
Look at me ..11 imps behind Paul Porteous ..bloody hell ..he is an administrator of bridge not a player .. Of course without Paul Porteous there might be no COVID bridge so better let him be ahead of me.
Of course maybe I am not as good as I think ..

Then the next board I lose another 5 imps when someone does not bid a cold 3NT.
