Bridge Match 3 - Board 4

Board 4 - Dealer West - All Vul

Opponents convention card: Majeure cinquième
Opponents playing strength: Excellent

My hand: ♠ A J 8 5 ♥ K Q J 4 ♦ K 8 5 ♣ 6 5

East opens 1 club in 3rd seat. I double. West bids 2 clubs, partner passes, and East goes to 3NT. I guess that's that.

I lead the K of hearts.

WEST ♠ T ♥ T 8 6 ♦ Q 7 6 3 ♣ Q T 7 3 2

K-6-2-A. East runs a bunch of clubs but then rather than playing the last club he leads a diamond to his A and then plays a heart to me. I cash 3 hearts, the K of diamonds, and the A of spades. Partner ends up also taking the K of spades. Down 2.

	NORTH ♠ K 4 3 2 ♥ 5 3 2 ♦ J T 9 2 ♣ 9 8
WEST ♠ T ♥ T 8 6 ♦ Q 7 6 3 ♣ Q T 7 3 2		EAST ♠ Q 9 7 6 ♥ A 9 7 ♦ A 4 ♣ A K J 4
	SOUTH ♠ A J 8 5 ♥ K Q J 4 ♦ K 8 5 ♣ 6 5

EW played every hand and got 7 different results. 3NT made, and it went down 1, and it went down 2 twice. 3 clubs made and it went up 1. 4 clubs went down 1. 1 spade somehow was played and went down 2. We tie for a top board as a result and get 12 MPs.


Captain Jack gets bitter at me for signalling incorrectly on the club. Fine, whatever.

Ranking after board 4/60: 8/16 with 53.57%
