Me versus a top bridge player (Peter Hollands) - 23rd December 2024

[@Kartalallen]

B2 - I think pass is optimal, but we both got unlucky on that one

[@Kartalallen]

B1 he bid 3C as invitations long clubs, but mine was Bergen so not an option, so we are both screwed by the system

[@Kartalallen]

B4, classic robot bidding.......someone needs to teach them that 5 level contracts need first round controls

[@grahamlucy6627]

Yup, nobody had a kind word for that 5c bid. Everyone that overcalled twice (ignoring Michaels) got to win the board in 3N when Lia failed to find a C lead.

B3, I had to answer the door after T1......came back and continued playing 4S to go one off when I had forgotten I was in 3NT - LOL what a plonker Rodney

#2 got lucky when Pete was full on laughter mode after miscounting trumps on #1, so he missed the D overtrick. . #5 Another successful downgrade (4333 & no pips) so stopped in 2N. Although if u run the opening H lead, you emerge with 4H and nine. . LWDDW 30
