nt|mariner1: this is the Semi Finals - 16 boards per session|pg||
nt|mariner1: Hi Lea|pg||
nt|latwy: many polish people|pg||
mb|1C|nt|mariner1: Lea Robert is our super Operator|pg||
mb|1S|nt|joefri: finally|pg||
mb|3S!|an|!c and short !s|nt|salokin: Hi All|pg||
mb|4S|nt|fabsayc: 3 sessions today (beijing time) and 3 tomorrow|pg||
nt|mariner1: nice 4@s push coming I think|pg||
nt|vugraph109: And Ron our super commentator !!|pg||
nt|vugraph109: :)|pg||
mb|5C|nt|thegarve: I expect to see plenty of (over)bidding|pg||
nt|joefri: and underbidding as well. German doctors seldom try to hit par|pg||
nt|brolucius: 3@S was bid at both table, a pre-emptive raise dictated by the Law of total trumps - nine trumps = bid to the nine-trick level.|pg||
nt|salokin: yep Smirnov is origine from russia (St. Petersburg if I'm right)|pg||
nt|xenya: E passed in CR, then bid 3N over W's second double|pg||
mb|p|nt|brolucius: The present England North-South will not be complaining that Germany has imported a player.|pg||
mb|p|nt|salokin: Piekarek is from Poland originally|pg||
nt|salokin: they both live in the nothern part of germany running separate Bidgeclubs in hamburg (Piekarek) and Lübeck (Smirnov)|pg||
nt|brolucius: It was a gamble for East to bid 3NT on a 14-count when his partner might have held only 6 points or so.|pg||
nt|xenya: here, E bids 3N directly, which might result in an overtrick or 2 |pg||
nt|brolucius: West may be tempted to move on, placing Easy with a good hand.|pg||
nt|brolucius: He is obviously thinking about it.|pg||
nt|xenya: but will W believe partner is relatively weak?|pg||
nt|blueclub2: cd E hand also be the strong NT variety?|pg||
nt|salokin: A @S lead would make it Easy as after getting a @C trick decl. can switch to @D for 9 Tricks|pg||
nt|brolucius: When I first played bridge, a good few decades ago, East could deter a slam by folding up his cards...|pg||
mb|p|pc|h5|nt|fabsayc: clubs are frozen, else this would be down|pg||
nt|mariner1: the Running Scores are not working yet... hopefully will be soon|pg||
nt|athene: my copy of the E-W convention card says "transfers after 1Major-1NT"|pg||
pc|h2|pc|hJ|nt|joefri: instead they try to collect IMPs ..... and sometimes give of course :)|pg||
nt|mariner1: http://tinyurl.com/3vhf3k  for convention cards in all categories|pg||
pc|hQ|pg||
nt|joefri: Looks like a normal 4@S which will not make after the singleton lead|pg||
nt|thegarve: some will be in 4@H|pg||
nt|thegarve: might have doubled 1C|pg||
nt|joefri: well, but his hand wasn't strong enough to bid @S, if partner bids @D. Modern style more and more bids the suit first and then perhaps x later|pg||
nt|joefri: he could have introduced his @H after partners raise, but why tell opponents too much about your hand?|pg||
nt|thegarve: modern modern style doubles and plays equal level conversion|pg||
nt|joefri: so will match the result of cloesd room here for no swing|pg||
nt|athene: perhaps west thought 2@C was a transfer to diamonds?|pg||
nt|salokin: with out a @S lead it might  be more easyly :)|pg||
pc|c5|nt|brolucius: 4NT a sign-off.|pg||
nt|brolucius: 5@C might have failed on a diamond ruff. |pg||
pc|cK|pc|cA|nt|athene: even if so, they soon put aside any silly ideas of playing anywhere but spades :)|pg||
nt|fabsayc: i think 3@D was a fit jump|pg||
nt|mariner1: I think they use 2@c as a catch-all asking bid here|pg||
nt|Walddk3: Good morning to David Burn|pg||
nt|mariner1: meaning they can't play 2@c ever|pg||
nt|xenya: looks like it is 10 tricks on any lead|pg||
pc|c8|pg||
nt|mariner1: hi David |pg||
nt|athene: hi David|pg||
pc|cQ|nt|salokin: now he has to pik the right suit at 1st I think|pg||
nt|xenya: would be interesting to see how the English declarer made just 9|pg||
nt|brolucius: Declarer must play clubs before diamonds.|pg||
nt|xenya: yes, but that looks pretty natural?|pg||
nt|salokin: probaly he switched back to @D after 1 @C trick for safety reasons|pg||
nt|xenya: ah yes|pg||
nt|salokin: why If you need a @D trick anyway you could tra it right now ...|pg||
nt|salokin: try|pg||
nt|blueclub2: that wd be ok in 3nt but in 4?|pg||
pc|cT|pc|c9|nt|thegarve: oh oh thinking|pg||
nt|thegarve: an early swing to the leaders|pg||
nt|salokin: so I said|pg||
pc|s2|pg||
pc|h6|nt|brolucius: It seems to be a 50-50 guess on which ace North holds. Ah. he has guessed it right.|pg||
nt|xenya: you need to knock out the "right" ace first, and it happens to be the @CA|pg||
pc|hA|nt|dburn: Good morning|pg||
nt|athene: well, almost no 2@C bids are natural these days|pg||
nt|mariner1: Norway lost 11 imps here as they were in 3N off while Italy was in 4@s making|pg||
nt|brolucius: Now he knows that South has the club ace, since North would obviously have won and returned a spade.|pg||
nt|salokin: now @H back and another @C|pg||
pc|hT|nt|joefri: so first Blood to Wladow ... Matthias was right :)|pg||
nt|dburn: no doubt Norway played 2@c as natural|pg||

nt|athene: 1@C is natural or a weak NT or any strong hand|pg||
mb|p|nt|mariner1: so its more England did something right at this table than Germany did something wrong|pg||
mb|2N|nt|brolucius: N-S have two running suits and two suits controlled, by an ace and a singleton. Can they diagnose it?|pg||

nt|dburn: well, it may or may not have been "right" to bid 4@h|pg||
nt|fabsayc: and 12 likely with heart lead for a push|pg||
nt|athene: north has a pretty good hand...but "pretty good hand" + "weak nt" doesn't add up to any more than game|pg||
nt|mariner1: right David however that was at the other table :)|pg||
nt|fabsayc: indeed if you put cards in south hand, slam possible only if south has a spade ruffing value|pg||
mb|p|nt|joefri: cards won't stop the doctors to come in, but perhaps vulnerability :)|pg||
nt|cuan: e questa non è buona|pg||
nt|dburn: indeed - I was suggesting only that Germany did something "wrong" at the other table|pg||
nt|fabsayc: furthermore on actual hand 5@D is not safe|pg||
nt|athene: 2@D was just forcing to game (not a strong jump shift) because 1@D would have been a negative...so North feels he has some values in reserve still|pg||

pc|hK|nt|blueclub2: well 1NT shd show 18-20 bal|pg||
pc|h5|nt|mariner1: W warned about lead now|pg||
nt|athene: depends whether 3@H is showing a concentration of strength, or just specifically the @HA|pg||
nt|fabsayc: north sniffing at slam, perhaps you take attitude to hold overtricks|pg||
nt|mariner1: my thinking too Martin|pg||
nt|blueclub2: 2@s presumably transfer to clubs, 2nt accept, 3@h short|pg||
nt|brolucius: Not a good start, since South needs to know of the diamonds.|pg||
pc|h4|nt|thegarve: Rob, the German commentators are outflanking your guys and we have nearly converted you to a total Brit, anyway|pg||
nt|fabsayc: because realistically is heart for the set, everything else is give up|pg||
nt|dburn: perhaps, but from West's point of view, how could you beat 3NT except by leading a heart?|pg||
pc|h9|pg||
pc|hJ|pc|hT|nt|brolucius: I am still looking for a bidding hand... (or will North come again?)|pg||
nt|brolucius: If South was showing a heart control by shortage, the North hand is enormous.|pg||
nt|brolucius: And that is likely after West's double, even if it was unclear at the time.|pg||
nt|blueclub2: not sure what the pass meant and if that influenced the 3nt bid |pg||
nt|brolucius: South does not want to go for 11 tricks anyway. It is North who has much more than he has said.|pg||

nt|blueclub2: keep looking for a hand:)|pg||

nt|salokin: slam was also not bnid in the NOR - ITA match|pg||
nt|blueclub2: after 3@h he knows that he is facing @cA otherwise S wd prob bid only 3@c|pg||
nt|salokin: some play that 4@C in auctions like this is a kind of conditional BW with 1st step No Intrest the N can reask if he want|pg||

nt|ndemirev: you can't pull after pd meditates before bidding 3nt|pg||
nt|robinswr: if north bid 2nt and then bid 3nt south should pull with a singleton|pg||
nt|kit: nonsense -- if partner's sequence shows a doubt about notrump, you pull with a stiff -- and that's what his sequence shows|pg||

nt|joefri: 1 NT looks much more comfortable looking only at NS-cards|pg||

nt|dburn: I mean, if 2@h showed real hearts, 3@h might take quite a lot of space from the opponents|pg||
nt|blueclub2: a 4@c bid by S might have done the trick here|pg||
nt|brolucius: When West has 4 spades and 5 hearts, opposite 2NT, he can transfer to show the hearts and ten bid 3@S. Easy. |pg||

mb|p|nt|blueclub2: this overcall with such slender values might be all that N/S needs to guess clubs if they get to slam|pg||

pc|s8|pg||
pc|s6|nt|rhelle: i think this will play remarkably well - as West has no entries|pg||
pc|sQ|nt|athene: south has to have the @SK and @CQ, so you can strip-squeeze him if you duck a diamond and read his shape|pg||
pc|sK|nt|athene: he has to bare an honour or release his diamond exit card and you throw him in with one to lead away from the other|pg||

nt|xenya: and a wise one i think -- concealing his 2nd suit|pg||
nt|blueclub2: using DOPI this shd show two aces and @sQ|pg||

mb|p|nt|thegarve: looked like -3 but we'll see check please|pg||

mb|1N|nt|joefri: I counted only 6 tricks for S .... but I am far from table :)|pg||
nt|thegarve: gaps appearing to the favourites in the other 3 qf matches|pg||

mb|p|nt|figb_rama: saremo su Bbo anche nell'ultimo tempo dei quarti, alle 11.10 italiane|pg||
nt|athene: perhaps townsend should have bid 3@C over the double, to show a good spade raise right away, while he had the room?|pg||
nt|blueclub2: impossible to underlead @cK on this auction|pg||
nt|brolucius: A club lead was very dangerous from the West hand. I am not surprised that he did not find it.|pg||
nt|xenya: almost impossible|pg||
nt|xenya: would amount to peeking i think|pg||
nt|blueclub2: you wd look like a moron if declarer turned up with @cAQ and had also a loser in d|pg||

nt|salokin: Also A@D lead in CR|pg||
nt|xenya: precisely|pg||
nt|salokin: thsi was also apush in NOR vs. ITA in 6M making|pg||

nt|salokin: slam on finesse in @S here ?|pg||
mb|1S|nt|athene: is that a Raptor 1NT (4major 5minor) or just a very bent "natural" one?|pg||

nt|udo: @D + major|pg||
nt|athene: yes|pg||
nt|athene: 6-15 hcp, 4major 5@D, according to CC|pg||
nt|mariner1: LouLan SenLin (known as Roland Wald - Denmark) is the BBO vugraph co-ordinator and does super work in arranging the vugraphs and scheduling the commentators...... this is a job!|pg||
mb|p|nt|athene: hmmmmmm is south angling to get doubled in 2major?|pg||

mb|2C|nt|joefri: a weak 1@H by East shut NS totally out of the bidding in closed room|pg||
nt|figb_rama: scusa Antonio, ho visto ora quando mi hai chiesto di Giorgino e Toni|pg||
nt|fabsayc: if this is like woolsey double of 1nt|pg||
nt|fabsayc: 2c asks for the minor|pg||
nt|fabsayc: yes is not analgous if diamonds guaranteed|pg||
nt|athene: this might end up in 3nt|pg||
mb|p|mb|4S|nt|cuan: 2@C = 5@H limite o +|pg||
nt|figb_rama: secondo me stanno giocando davvero bene, ed è la prima volta che giocano in una competizione di questo livello|pg||

pc|hK|nt|blueclub2: well a kib tells me that the chinese ladies bid to the famous 7@c where sandqvist went one down and despite no opposition bidding the declarer guessed to finesse clubs|pg||
nt|xenya: i don't think they'll get to slam missing 2 keycards|pg||
pc|h4|nt|thegarve: unless Spanish when its Juan Off|pg||
nt|brolucius: No 'right or wrong' unfortunately, when it all depends on a king finesse. |pg||
