mb|2D|nt|vugraphzew: hi all )|pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: good morning all:)|pg||
mb|p|nt|chick: The hands are deliberately dealt to create unusual or extreme distributions.|pg||
nt|chick: As a result, bidding systems are minimal, and the trick is to find a fit quickly (if you have one, which you often don't) :)|pg||
nt|cicus: first 5 boards of the 10 board final|pg||
nt|sybarra: canape into @H maybe |pg||
nt|sybarra: if S lets them |pg||
nt|sybarra: a brutal hand nothing makes  |pg||
mb|p|nt|chick: When you do have a fit, the trumps are often split 5-0 :)|pg||
nt|cicus: I have had 7-6 4 times in my life but none of them was as powerful as this|pg||
nt|vugraphzew: hi all )|pg||
nt|cicus: this is played in goulash, which means the distributions will be wild|pg||
mb|d|nt|cicus: hi Aida|pg||
nt|cicus: don't be surprised to see 10-card suits and 8-5 distributions|pg||
mb|p|nt|chick: It makes for an exciting game, if not very technical :)|pg||
mb|p|mb|p|nt|cicus: cautious 1@S opening, expecting high level competition|pg||
pc|cQ|nt|aida_mk_nl: The tournament is being held on "goulash" deals, prepared on the basis of a special algorithm. |pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: on a @D lead is down thou|pg||
nt|cicus: E should have X-ed for the lead|pg||
pc|c2|nt|aida_mk_nl: good morning Gabor :)|pg||

nt|Walddk10: Hello Aida and Gábor|pg||

pc|cJ|nt|aida_mk_nl: good lead from W|pg||
nt|vugraphzew: 2@c was Ask for Aces|pg||
pc|cA|nt|chick: This Goulash tournament is fairly new, BBO has been broadcasting it for about 3 years now.|pg||
nt|chick: The hands are deliberately dealt to create unusual or extreme distributions.|pg||
nt|Walddk10: Hello Cornelia and Jaap|pg||
nt|chick: As a result, bidding systems are minimal, and the trick is to find a fit quickly (if you have one, which you often don't) :)|pg||

nt|chick: It makes for an exciting game, if not very technical :)|pg||
nt|Walddk10: But as usual, partner has rubbish|pg||
nt|cicus: S may feel disappointed (no one X-ed)|pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: yes :)|pg||
pc|c8|pg||
pc|d2|nt|jaapfr: DD can make 7@C|pg||
pc|dQ|nt|aida_mk_nl: and good contract |pg||
nt|cicus: of course, E has 2 trump tricks|pg||
pc|dA|nt|chick: although of course 7@C fails, W can't think that with the bidding|pg||
nt|jaapfr: if played by N|pg||
nt|chick: ah, you are right, because no clubs to lead in E|pg||
pc|d6|pg||
pc|h2|nt|cicus: and dia,monds also unfriendly so it looks like 2 down |pg||
nt|vugraphzew: (dobrin)|pg||
pc|h8|pc|h4|nt|jaapfr: ok -1|pg||
nt|chick: It's also quite a challenge in the play of the hand and defense|pg||
nt|sybarra: now "gin"|pg||
pc|hQ|pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: 2 down not dbld , not the end of the world :)|pg||
pc|cK|nt|chick: Knowing that suits are breaking badly gives lots of room for creative play|pg||
pc|d3|nt|cicus: well if you were in 6@H you'd feel it might come in|pg||

nt|cicus: 3NT seems best here for NS|pg||
nt|cicus: they are of course aware of the nature of the deals|pg||
nt|sybarra: you are always a little hesitant to X in goulash, but the other room was not |pg||
mb|p|nt|jaapfr: but here 7@C will be made due to normal @HA lead|pg||
nt|cicus: so they try to adjust their bidding to the circumstances|pg||
mb|1H|nt|jaapfr: best  play @SA and ensure as S down 1|pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: good save in other room|pg||
nt|cicus: weird bidding is also not unexpected|pg||
mb|p|nt|chick: most doubles in goulash are penalty :)|pg||
nt|cicus: sometimes the players create extra twists to the wild deals|pg||
mb|2H|nt|jaapfr: you perfectly rite about the 5-0:)|pg||
nt|cicus: N and S have only 9-card suits here|pg||
mb|2S|nt|aida_mk_nl: when i played goulash 1st time, my partner experianced goulash player says: bud always one level less ":)|pg||
nt|sybarra: I find the canape opening interesting dont you?|pg||
mb|4H|nt|cicus: excellent stop|pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: *bid|pg||
nt|cicus: luckily , spades are 2-0|pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: i have no opinion :)|pg||
mb|4S|nt|chick: probably a good agreement to have that ALL doubles are penalty :)|pg||
nt|cicus: N can't ruff @HA|pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: yes lucky |pg||
nt|cicus: N wisely leaves this alone|pg||
nt|cicus: well done|pg||
mb|p|nt|jaapfr: finally a normal 4@H C|pg||
mb|p|nt|aida_mk_nl: will Ershov try?|pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: nope|pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: would have been a good try |pg||
nt|cicus: I think he had to|pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: yes|pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: seeing all @H in dummy|pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: i prefer strong @C openings, or polish @C|pg||
mb|p|nt|cicus: everyone is expecting his trumps to be 6-0 by the opponents|pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: I just love to watch goulash , not to play IT :)|pg||
pc|hA|nt|chick: but a 2-0 split :)|pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: right !|pg||
nt|cicus: this is the normal distribution of the heart suit at goulsh|pg||
pc|h8|nt|sybarra: not sure a club system is best in goulash |pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: usually there are special systems for goulash|pg||
pc|h2|nt|sybarra: and opening the shorter suit first probably has some merit sometime |pg||
nt|sybarra: agree Aida  usually special systems |pg||
pc|h7|pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: in a -4-9 fit bid 3nt |pg||
nt|cicus: and we usually treat AKQ 7th as a solid suit ...|pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: :)|pg||
nt|vugraphzew: Just AKQ is a NOT solid suit! :)|pg||
pc|hK|pc|hT|pc|h9|pc|s2|pg||
nt|vugraphzew: Not always )|pg||
nt|cicus: anyway, club tricks can't run away, so he played for nothing|pg||
pc|c5|nt|chick: As here, entries can be a terrible problem in goulash, too|pg||
nt|jaapfr: but S missed 5@C made|pg||
pc|c7|nt|cicus: S will be surprised to see his diamonds breaking |pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: i think N pass was friendly |pg||
pc|cK|nt|aida_mk_nl: he could afford to bid 2@C|pg||
nt|sybarra: but maybe if he knows its canape, he didnt want e/w finding a better spt |pg||
nt|sybarra: *spot |pg||
nt|sybarra: I think he was sure pard (S) had @H |pg||
pc|c2|pg||

nt|aida_mk_nl: and home|pg||

mb|p|nt|chick: EW needs to find their clubs|pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: do they play strong pass? :)|pg||

mb|4H|nt|chick: NS need to find their hearts|pg||

mb|p|nt|chick: so far neither side is bidding their best fit :)|pg||

mb|p|nt|aida_mk_nl: 5@D too|pg||
mb|p|nt|aida_mk_nl: no|pg||

pc|h2|nt|jaapfr: not with @S lead though|pg||

mb|2C|nt|jaapfr: 5@D|pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: yes but depends on agreement|pg||

mb|p|nt|chick: probably any balanced hand :)|pg||
nt|chick: they are rare :)|pg||
nt|jaapfr: i sympathize in goulash to show 1NT if possible|pg||
nt|sybarra: my pc got hung up on the start up  |pg||
nt|cicus: mmm, quite a hand, but spades were only 8-card long|pg||
nt|sybarra: and another 6 @S out the window |pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: yes , not a REALLY solid suit :)|pg||
mb|p|nt|aida_mk_nl: and this is 7@S on K@C drop :)|pg||
nt|cicus: goulash system|pg||
nt|cicus: this can be set if E does not touch diamonds|pg||
nt|cicus: this is just making|pg||
nt|sybarra: or maybe only 5 if no club lead |pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: 6@S i think is not makable|pg||
nt|aida_mk_nl: only on a @H lead|pg||
nt|cicus: good lead, makes on a club or heart|pg||
nt|sybarra: agree,  2 ht losers  |pg||
mb|4H|nt|cicus: phantom save|pg||
mb|d|mb|p|nt|aida_mk_nl: we were talking about solid suits before? :)|pg||
nt|cicus: 10 to AKQ usually suffices...|pg||
nt|cicus: he did|pg||
mb|p|nt|bobh1: i would think the multi 2d overcall would be particularly bad at goulash|pg||
nt|jaapfr: i said 4 not 6:)|pg||
nt|chick: another example of entry problem in goulash, no way to take the diamond finesse|pg||
nt|vugraphzew: we will continue tomorrow - SF and FINAL of tournament|pg||

nt|aida_mk_nl: but after 5@C will you bid 6@S or 7?|pg||
pc|dK|nt|sybarra: to hold to 5,  this will require some great signally from n/s|pg||

nt|vugraphzew: 10 boards - 2 segments per 5 boards|pg||
nt|cicus: we are 3 of those 9|pg||
nt|cicus: or 4|pg||
nt|jaapfr: in other room against 7@C was a @S lead:)|pg||

nt|chick: hehe, just getting some lunch in the break :)|pg||
nt|jaapfr: i invited you to dance:(|pg||
nt|chick: I don't think I've ever seen 21 IMPs on a single board before|pg||
nt|chick: that hand probably decided the match|pg||
nt|jaapfr: the @S lead|pg||
nt|chick: yes, and the difficulty of judging the right level to stop and double the opps in goulash :)|pg||
nt|chick: Jaap, I would love to dance with you, I'll check into airline tickets to The Netherlands, are you free next weekend?|pg||
nt|jaapfr: i am in INdonesia though:(|pg||
nt|bobh1: slightly longer trip|pg||

nt|chick: always welcome @H@H|pg||
nt|chick: our Nationals starts in a week or so, we could play bridge in the afternoons and dance our way through the evenings :)|pg||
nt|jaapfr: i am above 6 feet and almost 200 pouns|pg||
nt|chick: but can you dance?  :)|pg||
nt|cicus: no problem if you only use your own legs|pg||
nt|bobh1: i'll bet you really stand out against those Indonesians Jaap|pg||
nt|jaapfr: better bridge than dance to be truthful|pg||
nt|chick: well, I already know you are good at bridge :)|pg||
nt|cicus: same for me|pg||
nt|cicus: I can't dance at all|pg||
nt|chick: not me, I'm equally bad at both |pg||
nt|jaapfr: and very happily married since 36 years|pg||
nt|chick: but I never let that stop me from trying :)|pg||
nt|chick: ah, well, then I must wait for a better offer :)|pg||
nt|jaapfr: only during the breaks i am available:)|pg||
nt|chick: To the kibs, we are on a break, should resume fairly soon|pg||
nt|chick: I think the flight to Indonesia is longer than 20 minutes, sorry :)|pg||
nt|bobh1: yes we have accumulated many more kibs|pg||
nt|bobh1: must be the repartee attracting them|pg||
nt|jaapfr: with sensational bridge|pg||
nt|jaapfr: or they want to dance?|pg||
nt|bobh1: i used to fly to Jakarta from time to time--about 20 hours including layovers|pg||
nt|bobh1: from NYC|pg||
nt|chick: To the kibs:  Jaap is a very fine dancer and is looking for a dance partner during bridge breaks, volunteer directly to him :)|pg||
nt|jaapfr: :):)|pg||
nt|jaapfr: adam-jakarta 16 h|pg||
nt|chick: Bob, the flight to Binghamton is much shorter :)|pg||
nt|bobh1: this is a longer break than anticipated|pg||
nt|bobh1: must be rubber time, right Jaap?|pg||
nt|jaapfr: they are all dancing there|pg||
nt|jaapfr: indeed almost midnite|pg||
nt|chick: For the kibs, This Goulash tournament is fairly new, BBO has been broadcasting it for about 3 years now.|pg||
nt|chick: The hands are deliberately dealt to create unusual or extreme distributions.|pg||
nt|chick: As a result, bidding systems are minimal, and the trick is to find a fit quickly (if you have one, which you often don't) :)|pg||
nt|chick: When you do have a fit, the trumps are often split 5-0 :)|pg||
nt|chick: It makes for an exciting game, if not very technical :)|pg||
nt|chick: Hopefully we will resume from the break soon now|pg||
nt|bobh1: i think the term "goulash" originated among train commuters from NYC to the suburbs|pg||
nt|chick: lol|pg||
nt|bobh1: they didn't have time to properly shuffle the cards|pg||
nt|bobh1: or to deal them card by card|pg||
nt|bobh1: so they would just cut the deck a few times and then deal them in clumps |pg||
nt|bobh1: i wonder how they generate the hands in this tournament?|pg||
nt|chick: Goulash actually appeared in the middle of the last century, and originally meant an obligation to NOT take a specific number of tricks|pg||
nt|bobh1: sounds like "nolo" bridge|pg||
nt|chick: There is some interesting history here:  http://www.nncup.org/page_01_e.htm|pg||
nt|cicus: sry, have to go, I wish you have some boards, the fun is already there :)|pg||
