Music to my ears.
Yesterday in the Mixed Pairs I played against Petr Bahnik and Eva Bohnikova from The Czech Republic. He told me he enjoys my blog! How delightful, often times I wonder if anybody even read it. It warms my heart to know it is read in far away places.
They played well and are in the final, I wish them the best of luck.
Round 8 of the Mixed Pairs, Anja Alberti (Germany) and Nikolas Bausback (Luxembourg) conducted a beautiful auction to the top spot.
Board 12. Dealer West. N-S vulnerable.
Nikolas (North) and Anja (South) held these hands.
This was their auction :
4NT = takeout for the minors. 5♦ = far sighted bid. 6♦ = we have arrived.
Anja made the great bid of five diamonds, chosen the 4-4 fit as trumps as she recognized that the longer club suit can be used to park a spade loser.
The full deal :
Made 12 tricks for +1370 and 99.96%. Oh and don’t ask me what happened to the .04%.
Bridge players are notorious for NOT leaving comments, and comments are the only way a writer knows if players are reading your material.
Dave you are correct of cause, still is nice to get feed backs from time to time.
