♠ ♥ ♦ ♣    THIS WEEK

Thanks to everyone for bearing with the maiden flight of our new computer!

However, even more thanks to Will for sourcing and configuring this new computer with dedicated time and trouble and achieving a set of results on its first outing. 

A modest turnout was possibly beneficial and saw Chris and Ian triumph minimally over Keith and Steve and Jenny and Vince.

Five potential slam boards but only two bid.  On board 20 Ian and Chris made the correct sacrifice, as with last week, but once again no other pairs bid the slam so achieved another bottom.  Then on board 24 mayhem where 13 tricks were cold. Only Terry and Pat bid and made 6NT plus one, Laszlo and Howard had a bidding misunderstanding, and Keith and Steve were psyched out of their slam.  Obviously allowable at rubber bridge but dubious at duplicate.  Unfortunately, the evenings movement was incomplete and the relevant board not played by the winners.
