Italy, Poland, Norway, The Netherlands and Iceland. Five Bermuda Bowl winners in the first six joined by second placed Hungary.

In the Women's Pairs, the top qualifiers were Ferda Zorlu and Nilgun Kotan of Turkey. They had a slender lead over Simonetta Paoluzi and Irene Baroni of Italy, with Martine Rossard and Anne-Laure Huberschwiller of France in third place. Fifteen countries are represented in the 24-pair final that starts today (69 boards over two days) with only Norway contributing more than two pairs (four in fact).

In contrast, the Senior Pairs' final has a strong selection of Polish pairs (six), including the two of the top three qualifiers, Marek Szymanowski and Piotr Bizon, and Marek Witek and Wojciech Soltysik. Second placed, Pierre-Yves Guillaumin and Pierre Schmidt head the five-strong French delegation in the final. A total of 10 countries are represented in this final.

BULGARIA vs RUSSIABULGARIA vs RUSS

In Round 2, a confrontation between two strong teams from Eastern Europe was scheduled. Both teams are regular qualifiers for the Bermuda Bowl, so every reason to have a look at this particular match on early Wednesday afternoon.

After a routine 3NT on the opening board, there was a swing on the next one, no. 18. It was a small swing of just 1 IMP but one would rarely see a more spectacular 1-IMP swing.

Board 18. Dealer East. NS Vul. [ A Q 10 9 4 ] A J 4 { A 10 6 } A K[ J 2 [ 7 6 5] Q 9 3 ] 10 8 6 5{ 7 4 2 { Q J 9} J 6 4 3 2 } Q 8 5 [ K 8 3 ] K 7 2 { K 8 5 3 } 10 9 7

In the Closed Room, the Russians had an undisturbed Polish Club - style auction, so they got to the slam quite easily.

In the Open Room, Matushko’s 3} opening bid set the table on fire. When South passed the double, Matushko started looking for a better place to stay only to find out that he had thrown away the IMPs gained by his initial action. Down six for a 1-IMP gain instead of down five for an 8-IMP gain to Bulgaria…

A few boards later, we had another slam:

Taking into account that 2NT shows a balanced 18-20 HCP, the Bulgarian auction after North’s super-acceptance was a little over-enthusiastic, I feel. Had North’s }J been the }Q, however, the grand would have had a better play than the remote chance of a black suit squeeze against four spades and the two top clubs.

One down, Russia +100

54th European Team Championships


Ostend, Belgium • 6 - 16 June 2018

With the heart fit established at the level of 2NT which showed a 5-3-3-2 after the Polish-style 1} and the 2} relay, 3} already was RKCB in North’s view, 3NT thus showing two aces and the trump queen. South was not quite on the same wavelength, we gathered, so the only thing we know for sure is that 5[ was another forward move as South definitely did not want to stop below the six-level. South proved right when the [Q was a useful 12th trick. Russia +1430 and 17 IMPs to them.

On board 23, Bulgaria scored 9 IMPs when the Russians missed a vulnerable game after one player miscounted his HCP but the swing on board 26 was a matter of bridge again:

Board 26. Dealer East. All Vul. [ K 10 9 5 3 ] A Q J { 9 3 } Q 8 4[ 8 [ A 2] 10 5 4 3 ] 9 8 7 6{ A K 6 5 4 2 { J 8 7} 5 2 } K J 6 3 [ Q J 7 6 4 ] K 2 { Q 10 } A 10 9 7

As the diamonds were 2-2, East’s very aggressive double would have paid off had West passed it. When West instead showed two places to play with his 4NT bid, E/W were bound for a minus score. Even though Matushko got the clubs right in the end, he still was down two, +500 to Bulgaria.

Closed RoomWest North East South Draganov Rudakov Donev Orlov Pass 1[Pass 2} Pass 2[Pass 4[ All Pass

2} already was GF so North’s 4[ simply showed a minimum. With a certain club loser, Rudakov had to go one down for another +100 and 12 IMPs to Bulgaria.

Declarer might have made his contract but when he followed an unlucky line, he has set up a little defensive cross-ruff. North led two top clubs, dummy ruffing. Next came two top diamonds but when declarer then tried to ruff another club in dummy, South could overruff and give his partner a diamond ruff. With three trump tricks still to lose, declarer thus had managed to go one down. Bulgaria +100.


2} 2] DbleAll Pass

The auction seems logical enough after South's highly aggressive negative double following North’s precision-style 2} opening, East picked North’s second suit for his overcall. After the }J lead and a club, declarer simply ruffed and led the ]K, continuing a low trump when it was allowed to hold. From there, he could no longer be defeated.

Bulgaria another +670 and 13 IMPs to them.The Bulgarian lead stood at 53-26 when the last

The Landy overcall of 1NT paved the way for a good sacrifice. Both tables got the chance but only one took full advantage.

When East bid 3NT, which is cold with the spades 4-4, South guessed well to go for the sacrifice. Down just two, Russia +300.

At the other table, East was by no means as sure of the spade situation as his Russian counterpart, so he simply showed his suit in transfer mode.


1NT 2} 2[ 3[Dble Pass 3NT All Pass

When West could double 3[, East had a winning choice of games available as either minor suit game would produce 11 tricks as well. Bulgaria another +600 and 7 IMPs to win the match 60-26 or 17.31 – 2.69 VP.

FRANCE vs SWEDENFRANCE vs SWEDE

Clash of Titans, or Battle of the Best? It is hard to name this match, but one thing is for sure: these teams came here to win! Remember, these two squads were the 1-2 in Budapest 2 years ago, so everyone expected this to be a great match, and it did not disappoint.

France has changed their winning six due to health issues: Quantin-Combescure were replaced by then-NPC Lionel Sabanne and his partner, Paul Seguineau. Sweden also has a new pair, Sylvan-Wrang has been replaced by two Simons, Hult and Ekenberg of junior European Champion fame, along with their young friends, the Rimstedt brothers, of course.

Both teams were already among the top teams after 2 rounds, both winning twice.

After a few quiet boards, both teams gaining small swings, Sweden led 7-6 when this hand flashed on the screen:

Board 7. Dealer South. All Vul. [ A 10 3 ] K 4 { K 8 7 } A 10 9 7 3 [ 9 6 5 4 [ Q J 8 7 2 ] 10 8 5 3 ] 7 6 2 { A 10 9 6 { Q 4 3 } 4 } 6 2 [ K ] A Q J 9 { J 5 2 } K Q J 8 5

This is a great slam to be in, from the North side. Sadly, both these pairs had to open the South hand one club, therefore the slam was vulnerable to a diamond lead, but neither West player found the (potentially) winning low lead, so slam was made everywhere it was bid (but it caused a lot of swings at many other matches, N/S stopping in 3NT).

The key to this naturalish bidding was probably Volcker’s 3{ fragment bid, which showed Bessis that despite having only 14HCP, all his cards were working, and slam would be a very good proposition. A few cue-bids followed, and slam was reached.

Upmark-Nystrom’s relays went much more artificially, but ended up at the same nice spot, the club slam. Well bid, for a push.

A couple more exciting, yet low scoring hands followed, eg. Would you bid to game by yourself if your opponents bid and raise hearts, with this: AK109xx, xx, AKJ98, -? I would – if partner has a Yarborough with two small doubletons in your suits, game will have play. Partner had exactly that, and with trumps 3-2, and diamonds 3-3, game rolled home at both tables.

Then came Ola Rimstedt’s time to shine as declarer:

Open RoomClosed Room West North East South O. Rimstedt T. Bessis M. Rimstedt Volcker

Lorenzini Upmark Rombaut Nystrom

1} Pass 1] 1[ Dble Pass3NT All Pass

The bidding and lead was identical, North leading his fourth best spade, going to the 9-10-jack. The 10 of clubs went to the king, South returning partner’s suit happily. Both Norths realised they were already endplayed, and played two more rounds of the suit, still leaving declarer one trick short. Alas, an alert declarer can realise his opponent squirming in his seat on the run of the high clubs (dummy entered via the heart finesse)...

[ 2 ] K 10 { K 10 } — [ — [ — ] J 8 ] A 7 { A Q J { 8 } — } J 7 [ — ] 9 { 9 6 } 8 5

When the jack of clubs is played, declarer shedding the jack of diamonds, North can choose his way of death: if he discards a heart, the jack will be high. If he discards his last spade, he can get thrown in by either red suit to lead into the other tenace. If he discards a diamond, his king will drop. Sadly, the operators at our match were not up to the task here, so we cannot tell which one it was, but Ola made his contract, whereas at the other table probably the singleton diamond king took a trick, along with another spade and maybe even a heart, as Lorenzini was down 2, giving 13 huge IMPs to Sweden, leading 20-7, with only 6 more boards to play.

One would think this nice play would lift up the Swedes’ spirits, and allow them to go on to win the match, but it seemed like they were the ones who were bothered more by this brilliancy.

First, Nystrom, at the other table, made a reasonable, yet somewhat unlucky decision.

1} Pass 1{ 3{ 3NT All Pass

He opened a strong club, got partner’s negative, and Rombaut intervened. 3NT seemed plausible: he looked to hold eight sure tricks if hearts roll in, and would only need one from his partner, while bidding 3] could well push them over the last makeable contract. His partner could not be sure how balanced this 3NT is, so he did not pull to his junky-looking spade suit. After the obvious (diamond) lead, there was no chance, the spade queen did not drop, so he only had 8 tricks, with Rombaut having the club ace as an entry to his long diamonds; 10 quick IMPs back to France (the other table making 4[ when Volcker opened 2NT with the South hand), now only trailing 20-17.

On the very next board, it looked like an easy 3NT or 5}, but somehow, Ola went down in the minor game, while Upmark obviously underled his AKQ in hearts when he heard declarer had 4 of them via Stayman, but that was his ninth trick, with other ways to make 9 on a different lead; 10 more points, and suddenly, France was in the lead, 27-20!

A nice 1NT defense by Lorenzini is also worth mentioning:

Board 13. Dealer North. All Vul. [ K 7 3 2 ] A 3 2 { Q 8 2 } Q J 8 [ J 10 6 [ A 9 5 ] K 10 8 6 ] J 5 4 { A K 6 { 7 4 } A 4 3 } 10 9 7 6 2 [ Q 8 4 ] Q 9 7 { J 10 9 5 3 } K 5


1{ Pass 1NT All Pass

Upmark’s 1{ was of a nebulous type, so it was perfectly normal to reply 1NT. Lorenzini led his lowest heart, which went to the jack and queenn. He won the second, and found the killing play: the spade jack, removing the entry prematurely from the South hand! Nystrom won, and continued diamonds, but could never get back into his hand to enjoy them, and had only 6 tricks. It is important to notice that it did not matter who had the spade 9 – as long as declarer did not have both the 9 AND the 8, this play could not cost, as eventually dummy will be endplayed in clubs to lead away from the spade king anyway. Well done!

Open Room West North East South O. Rimstedt T. Bessis M. Rimstedt Volcker

1} Pass 1NT All Pass

Ola did not expect Volcker to hold five diamonds probably, as he hastily won the first and the second round of the suit, so Fredric had an easy run for his contract after the identical heart lead; 5 more IMPs to France, who gained on almost every board after the fateful #10, going 37-0 from there on and winning the match handily, 44-20, which translates to 15,74-4-26 VP.

MISPLAY THIS HAND WITH MEMISPLAY THIS HAND WI

In a major team championship one hopes, especially when playing on VuGraph, that the hands will not be too testing. On the opening day I find myself looking at this collection:

[ K J 8 3 ] J 8 6 4 { A Q J 5 } 10

With both sides vulnerable my partner is the dealer and opens 1}. Rightly or wrongly I decide to ignore my diamonds and respond 1]. When West overcalls 1[ my partner doubles, which we play as promising three-card heart support. East has nothing to say and my 3NT leaves us with this auction:

West North East South — 1} Pass 1] 1[ Dble Pass 3NT All Pass

West leads the [5 and this is what I can see:

[ 9 4 ] A Q 7 { 8 3 2 } A Q J 7 6

[ K J 8 3 ] J 8 6 4 { A Q J 5 } 10

There are only three top tricks, but I have chances in every suit. I would like to be in dummy to take a diamond finesse, so I try dummy's [9, but East produces the [10 so I win with the jack and run the }10. East wins with the king and returns a spade and West plays three rounds of the suit, East pitching a club and a diamond as I part with two of dummy's diamonds. Having won the fourth round of spades I play a heart to the queen and when it holds I cash dummy's clubs. North discards a heart and then the seven and ten of diamonds while I pitch a heart and two diamonds.

These cards remain:

[ — ] A 7 { 8 } 7

[ — ] J 8 { A Q } —

I have taken six tricks and if East has the {K I have an easy route to nine. Before making a decision I must attempt to construct the defenders hands. I know East started with six clubs and two spades and he has followed to one round of hearts and pitched a diamond. West is known to have started with five spades and one club and has played two hearts and two diamonds. I also know West has the ]K and he still has a spade, so if he gains the lead I will go down. It is clear that if West started with both red kings by now one of them is falling. Looking for further information I cash dummy's ace of hearts, East following with the nine and West the ten. Postponing my decision I exit with a club and East wins as I pitch the ]J and West throws the [2.

In the two-card ending East exits with the {9.Tossing a mental coin into the air I decide to finesse.

West produces the king and cashes the ]K so I am two down. This was the full deal:

Dealer South. All Vul. [ 9 4 ] A Q 7 { 8 3 2 } A Q J 7 6 [ A Q 7 5 2 [ 10 6 ] K 10 5 2 ] 9 3 { K 10 7 { 9 6 4 } 9 } K 8 5 4 3 2 [ K J 8 3 ] J 8 6 4 { A Q J 5 } 10

Post mortemHaving examined my conscience I cannot see that

there was any indication that West was more likely to hold the {K.

The operation was a success but the patient died.In the other room the play ran along similar lines but

declarer kept the {AQJ and, having cashed the ]A he played a diamond to the ace felling the blank king and scoring an overtrick.

ENGLAND vs IRELANDENGLAND vs IRELA

I had volunteered to report on all of Bye’s matches since with favourable results he/she could finish in eighth spot and thus qualify for the Bermuda Bowl. This offer was declined so I am reporting from ‘la profonde France’ on two of the home nations. Neither of them started well. England lost its first match poorly to Spain but won the subsequent two matches against Romania and Hungary to give them just above average VPs and a place in the top half of the standings. Ireland suffered a worse fate in that they lost their first three matches to Bulgaria, Netherlands and Ukraine. England needed to win to propel them towards a qualifying spot and Ireland badly required a confidence boosting victory against the old enemy.

Malinowski and Bakhshi use Polish Club whilst Allerton and Jagger use Acol with weak twos in the majors. In the Irish camp Carroll and Garvey employ a system based on five-card majors and a 14-16 no-trump and Hanlon and McGann also have the same basis but with many adornments.

A standard but not very pretty 3NT. West commenced hostilities with the queen of clubs, ducked by South. West persevered with a small club to East’s king, taken by declarer’s ace. With the benefit of being able to look at all four hands it is obvious how to make the contract. Declarer, not having the gift of second sight, successfully took the heart finesse. He then led a spade towards hand and finessed against the queen. Alas, West took the trick and cashed two clubs and led a diamond to East’s ace. When East returned a heart declarer had to lose another trick, since he could not untangle his winners. Declarer’s play of the spade suit gave him the best chance of five tricks as not only would queen three times in the East hand suffice but also queen doubleton. Note that queen doubleton in the West hand will not provide four tricks. Good technique – bad luck.

2{ Pass Pass Dble All Pass

Here East had a weak two in diamonds available to him but fortune was not with him when North balanced with a double and struck gold when his partner could pass. The defence had only to mind its work to collect eight tricks and 800. This was 14 IMPs out.

After West’s weak two in spades East made an enquiry with 2NT. The response did not show a good hand. I cannot be sure of the exact meaning of the Three Diamonds bid but I assume it was some kind of ask, whereupon West closed proceedings by bidding the spade game. On the lead of the queen of clubs declarer was not hard pressed to record twelve tricks.

West’s Two Spades was a weak two with another suit promised. Again East made an enquiry and Three Clubs showed a hand in the lower range but not very bad. The opinion on BBO was that Four Clubs was the start of a keycard enquiry where West eventually showed the queen of trumps but no king. East went for the jackpot and when North did not lead his ace the slam came home along with 11 IMPs.

The opening bid guaranteed at least four diamonds and the Two Clubs response was natural and forcing. The convention card does not give a meaning to East’s bid of Three Spades. Did West treat it as natural and that East was bidding out his shape? If not then why did West raise to Four Spades and not give East

the welcome news about the heart control, either way insufficient information was exchanged to allow the cold slam to be bid. The Irish pair must have been expecting an 11 IMP swing out at the end of the board.


1{ Pass 2} Pass 3} Pass 3[ Pass 4[ Pass 5} All Pass

Having bid a slam on thin values the previous deal, surely it would be a piece of cake on this hand where the grand would make on a finesse. Though playing a different system the auction was identical. Again the opening bid was natural and the response also and forcing for one round. Yet again I do not understand the bid of Three Spades and the convention card does not cast any illumination on it either. I must confess to being dumbfounded that neither pair managed to bring the heart situation to light and that they were playing with a thirty point deck, whereupon the slam would have been straightforward to bid. Both pairs were fortunate not to lose points on this deal.

Whilst a couple of the deals had some mild interest in the play of a part-score I did not wish to upset my fellow contributor Mr. Bird with such reports. At the end of a quiet match only two double digit swings were on the card. England just getting the better of the other deals to win by 23 – 18 or 11.48 – 8.52 VP to push them one place up the leader board.

FINLAND vs ITALYFINLAND vs ITALY

The second day started with Finland, a country of only 5.5 million people, facing high-flying Italy. Roland Wald and I were commentating in the Open Room, where Karhulahti and Nyberg faced Sementa and Bocchi. The first board was a somewhat untidy affair:

Board 1. Dealer North. Neither Vul. [ K Q J 6 ] Q 10 8 7 { K 6 } Q 10 3 [ A 2 [ 10 9 8 4 ] A K 9 6 3 ] 5 4 2 { 10 7 3 { 4 2 } A K 7 } J 9 8 4 [ 7 5 3 ] J { A Q J 9 8 5 } 6 5 2

Open Room West North East South Sementa Karhulahti Bocchi Nyberg

1} Pass 3{ 3] 3NT Pass Pass Dble All Pass

Nyberg’s 3{ was billed as non-forcing but invitational. Although Karhulahti held a respectable heart stopper alongside the king of partner’s suit, 3NT was somewhat ambitious with no aces in his hand. Sementa doubled and won the ]2 lead with the king. Where should he seek a second undertrick?

Since the opening lead might have been from ]10-x-x, a low heart return was possible. Sementa preferred to try the }7. Although West might not have doubled without five tricks in his hand, declarer called for the }10. This lost to East’s }J and he was 300 down.

Closed Room West North East South Fagerlund Bianchedi Koistinen Madala

Madala’s 1[ denied spades. Against 3{ Fagerlund led the ]A, switching to ace and a low club. Declarer called for the }10 and lost three club tricks, as at the other table. He was one down but Italy gained 6 IMPs.

Board 4. Dealer West. Both Vul. [ A Q 5 ] K 10 8 { J 8 6 } Q J 8 6 [ 10 9 3 [ K J 7 ] A J 3 2 ] Q 4 { Q 7 5 4 { A K 10 9 } A 3 } 9 7 4 2 [ 8 6 4 2 ] 9 7 6 5 { 3 2 } K 10 5


Pass 1} Pass 1{ Pass 1] Pass 2] All Pass

North-South were playing Polish Club, where 1] is the rebid on a weak no-trump type with three hearts. Nyberg’s raise stole the pot and Bocchi led the {A, switching to a club. Sementa won dummy’s }10 with the ace and returned a club to dummy’s king. When a third club was led, West declined to ruff. Declarer could then win with the }J and play the }Q to discard a diamond, reducing the penalty from 300 to 200.


Pass 1} 1{ Pass 2} Pass 2{ Pass 2] Pass 2NT Pass 3NT All Pass

On best defence a club lead will beat 3NT. Madala chose the [6 as his opening thrust, drawing the queen and king. Koistinen played another spade to the 9 and ace and won the spade return. For the record, a club shift now is too late, though it produces a variety of fascinating endings. South threw two hearts when the diamonds were played and declarer could then run the ]Q, claiming ten tricks for a gain of 10 IMPs.

The next double-figure swing came in rather surprising fashion:

Board 10. Dealer East. Both Vul. [ A K 7 5 ] 10 5 { A 7 6 } A K 9 8 [ Q J 6 4 [ 9 8 3 2 ] A 8 4 2 ] K 9 7 6 3 { Q 9 { 5 4 } Q J 4 } 7 6 [ 10 ] Q J { K J 10 8 3 2 } 10 5 3 2


Pass Pass 1} Dble Pass 2{ Pass 3} Pass 3NT All Pass

Nyberg reached 3NT, a contract with a glaring flaw. Sementa had no reason to lead a heart and presented the [4. Declarer won in the dummy and continued with the {A and… a diamond to the jack. Sementa won with the queen and immediately continued with the [6. A relieved Nyberg then claimed +600.

Kibitzers watching a video screen of proceedings

told us that East was somewhat less delighted with the passage of play. Should Sementa have found a heart switch, do you think?

If declarer held six diamonds, he could be counted for five diamond tricks and the two A-K combinations in dummy. In that case heart switch was the only chance for the defence. It was unclear whether East would give an accurate count signal in diamonds when declarer might have a guess in the suit. He had in fact played the {4 on the first round, a true signal under their ‘reverse count’ method. Perhaps Sementa simply assumed that declarer would not have finessed if he held six cards to the KJ10 with the opening bid on his left.


Pass Pass 1} Dble 1] 2{ 2] Dble Pass 3] Pass 3[ Pass 4{ Pass 5{ All Pass

The heart weakness was identified and the Italians ended in 5{. Fagerlund led a low heart to the king and won the heart return, switching to a low spade. Madala won with dummy’s ace and played ace and another trump, finessing the jack. This was a surprising view to take, since if East held the {Q this would leave West with only 10 points for his opening bid. Declarer picked up the clubs later but was one down. Finland collected 12 IMPs.

This was the next board:

Board 11. Dealer South. Neither Vul. [ J 3 ] Q 6 { Q 10 9 7 6 4 } Q J 4 [ Q 8 4 2 [ A K 7 5 ] A J 8 ] 5 4 3 { A 8 { K 5 2 } 10 7 6 3 } A 8 5 [ 10 9 6 ] K 10 9 7 2 { J 3 } K 9 2


Pass Pass Pass 1} Pass 1] Pass 2[ Pass 4[ All Pass

West’s 1] was a transfer, the 2[ rebid showing four spades and a minimum hand. To beat the contract, the defenders must score two hearts to go with two clubs, before dummy’s 13th club is set up for a discard. Only a very unlikely lead of the ]10 can achieve this.

Bocchi won the trump lead with the ace and immediately ran the }8 to North’s }J. North could not attack hearts successfully from his side of the table. Declarer won the diamond switch with the ace, drew trumps and played ace and another club to set up a heart discard. He had his +420.

It is no good for South to rise with the }K on the first round of clubs. When he switches to the ]10, declarer can play any heart he likes from dummy, and the defenders will not then be able to score the tricks they need. North holds the two remaining clubs higher than dummy’s 10.


Pass Pass 3{ Dble Pass 3NT All Pass

Declarer won the }Q lead and played a second club to North’s jack. He ducked the ]Q switch, won the next heart with the jack and cleared the club suit for +630 and a flat board.

There was a choice of games available on the next deal, too:

Board 12. Dealer West. N-S Vul. [ A K 10 7 5 ] K 10 4 3 2 { } A 9 2 [ 6 [ Q 9 3 2 ] A Q 8 ] 9 6 { A 10 2 { K 7 6 5 4 } Q 10 7 5 4 3 } J 9 [ J 8 4 ] J 7 5 { Q J 9 8 3 } K 6


1} 2} Pass 2[ Pass 3[ Pass 4[ All Pass

Nyberg chose to respond in spades and ended in 4[. He won the trump lead with dummy’s ace and crossed to the }K. To make the game, he needs to play a heart now, leaving the club ruff until later. He chose to return to the }A and ruff a club with the [8. Only then did he play a heart. Sementa rose with the ace and switched to a low diamond, forcing dummy to ruff. When a second heart was led from dummy, West could win and force dummy again, leaving East with two trump tricks for one down.

(The BBO record states that East ruffed the second round of hearts, after which the contract would be easily made. The board was scored as one down, so this almost inconceivable defensive error cannot have occurred.)


1} 2} Pass 2] Pass 3] Pass 4] All Pass

Madala arrived in the heart game and West led his spade singleton, won in the dummy. After a club to the king, Madala played a trump to the king and took his club ruff. West won the next trump and played his remaining trump. Declarer was in control and could then set up and enjoy three more spade tricks. That was +620 and 12 IMPs to Italy, who eventually won by 45 IMPs to 34. That was 13.04 to 6.96 in VPs.

The Belgian pair of Steven De Donder and Steve De Roos will never win prizes for underbidding, and they bid happily up to the game level on this board.

Steve was not afraid to show the Majors on just 5-4, and Steven was not afraid to select hearts and raise to game on just a three card suit.

The {2 was led and Seguineau returned the ]8, taken on the table. Steven played a club to his queen and a spade to the queen and king. West tried the }K, and when Steven next played the ]A, the contract was made.

Only one other pair (Madala and Bianchedi playing for Italy) bid the game. They also made it.

The results of the six Belgian pairs in the two pairs' tournaments (Women and Seniors) were not that spectacular so we'll need to talk of small successes.

Paul Vercammen tried to push his opponents up a level this deal, and it worked in a different way...

Paul did not want them to stop at the three-level so he doubled. That worked a charm, because although he was not able to defeat the higher contract, he had persuaded them to stay out of the winning 3NT. -130 earned the Belgians 71%.
