There was a huge turnout including a few PBC pairs.
Noleen Cregan and Suzanne Cole did very well to come third in the Restricted section.
I played with Patrick Starck (who is stranded in New Caledonia) and we did not do very well in the Open section.
In the first round we played a pair who were designated as ‘world class’. In the second round we played a pair designated as ‘expert’. We were completely annihilated in the second round and Kim Morrison kindly remarked that it was ‘good practice’ for us.
I spent a while wondering if I could make 4H on this board (after going 1 off).
N led a diamond and I won the ace and led a H. I should have led a spade immediately. Then what does N do? This was Board 8 in round 1 and some made 4H – quite a few with the AS lead!
If anyone has Bridge Baron, you can download a .ppl file to play it from here.
