The first Swiss Pairs held as part of new Tuesday "Challenge" night was fortunate to have Derrick Browne as our guest expert. Derrick gave a great pre-session talk on "Carding combat: Fake news and alternative facts" exploring signalling tactics. You can check the hands and notes Derrick provided.
The battle for the Swiss chocolates was intense. The top five pairs finished within a 5 VP range. But someone had to win, and with a great last round, Catherine Whiddon and David Farmer pipped Suzanne Cole and Susan Jensen by 1 VP, with Derrick Browne and Michael Draper and Sandie Rooke and Alan Davies tying for third, just ahead of Anne Crothers and Anita Kite.
