4th January 2020

A few EDBC members played in the recent EBU End-of-Year Conference and enjoyed mixed success.

  • Suren and Anojan secured a commendable mid-table position in the strongest event of the congress, the Open Pairs.
  • In Monday's Swiss Teams event, Graham Pollack's team scored 77/140. 
  • Also, in the Swiss Teams event, Joanna, Mike, Steve and Marc started off strongly, winning their first match 20-0 and taking a decent 62% score into Round 5.  Sadly, the wheels then fell off and only two more victory points were secured in the final three sessions.  There were many challenging boards and one is featured in our December Hand of the Month.
