It was clear entering the last round of the Swiss that the first 4 teams would have no fears about survival. So the leaders (Mahaffey) Brogeland, Lindquist, Meckstroth, Mahmood, followed by Zimmermann, de Botton and K1 earned the right to choose their opponent for the round of 16.Behind the leaders, a group of 6 teams were well over our predicted barrier of 170 VP and remain in the running to-day. It was a close thing for the remaining teams, joined by strong finishing squads, Ward-Platt and Bernal.The most unfortunate was Era, a five star team, who lost the last match against Zimmermann 40-1 to finish in the worst position (17th) a mere 1.5 VP behind qualification.A special mention goes to the Dutch Juniors whose qualification in such a strong field deserves the highest praise.You can read inside a special page on Indonesian bridge, the Men Red team proves they were right to come to Europe for some high level experience.We were asked which match to follow in the round of 16. The answer is easy : ANY they are all most promising. Stay connected.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!Today it is the birthday of Luc Tijssen (Netherlands)and Bernard Cabanes (France).They will be celebrated with a special cadeau from the FMB.

COLDEA LAVAZZA

BEST NAME FOR A TEAMNaming is not always easy, some teams had no

problem.Playing under a country, Denmark, Russia or Monaco,

a town as Seoul or the captain’s name: Willans, Mahaffey, Ward-Platt for instance.

Other had more imagination: Expert Cooking (only one lady in the team), None blonde (though Scandinavian ladies) with the answer of: Blondes are more fun.

One team gives you advice: Never claim, probably a bad souvenir. One announces: club enthusiast (fiori or home club?). We are sorry for the team: les bras cassés (broken arms, did they go down and fall heavily?).

Finally 4 teams come from Turkey under « no name » red, mask, or black with the same NPC Sedat Dinc for 3 of them and PC in the fourth, just no name what else?

WHAT SORT OF GAME ARE THEY PLAYING?

This member of a Belgium team gives you a clear answer. But what are all the others doing?

LUCKIEST AMONG LUCKY ONESReading every day the first page of the Daily Bulletin you

understand that if you had the luck to be born on a date during the EWG -17th to 24th February, you were entitled to get a small gift from the FMB. For that you must be lucky, only 8 chances out 365…

Marc Bompis is more lucky than that, he just received a gift though born on the 21st of April !!!! His date of birth was wrong on the EBL database. He was allowed to retain his birthday present though received much in advance.

EUROPEAN WINTER GAMES EDITION 3We got insider information: EWG third edition could

be played 8th to 16th of February 2020 in Monaco. Why would it last 2 more days that this year? For a very good reason, at the end of the team event, on Saturday and Sunday, an open pairs tournament might be added , also with high money prizes at stake. Will it be an official EBL event or not ? This question has no answer yet!

ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY’S BIDDING PROBLEM

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

IMPs. Dealer East. None Vul. You are sitting East. What is your opening bid and why?

Andrey Gromov1{. I don’t like to open 1NT with a 5-4 hand: sometimes it’s good, but many times it isn’t.

Dano De Falco1{. I don’t open 1NT when I have spades. I would open 1NT with 5{4]

(because after my 1{ opening and partner’s 1] I have a good rebid).

Agustin MadalaI think 90% of the players opens 1NT. Every time I can bid 1NT... I just go with it.

Franck Multon1{, because I have four cards in spades. But this is a 50-50% guess.

Dennis Bilde1{. My cards are very strong if partner has some fit.

Like Saturday’s problem this one comes from the Camrose Trophy (so unless you hail from the UK or Ireland you could not claim to have recognised it!).

2{ Inverted raise3] Cue bid4} Cue bid

One Diamond promised at least four, so West had to choose between 2} and the inverted raise. After 2{ East had the option of rebidding 2NT to show 15-19 balanced.

If West had bid 4[ over 4{ no doubt East would have driven to at least 6{. If diamonds are 2-2 (or clubs 3-3) you can make 7{.

Recommended auction: If East starts with 1{ then it should not be too difficult to reach a slam. In the match between Scotland and Wales Punch and Peterkin bid 1{-3[*-4}*-5}*-6{ which was worth 11 IMPs when Rees and Salisbury stopped in game after 1{-(1[)-2[*-(Dble)-Rdbl-3}-3[*-5{. Moran and Boland also got home via 1{-3[*-4}*-4{-4NT*-5]*-5NT*-6{ for a big swing against Goodman and Coyne’s 1NT-2}*-2[-3}-3NT.

Starting with a splinter or 2{ can’t be bad, but the other possibility is to respond 2}. That might lead to this sequence: 1{-2}-2[-4{-4]*-4[*-5}*-5{-5[*-6{. East could ask for keycards over 4[, but I think the first auction gives you a better chance of reaching a good grand slam.

Giorgio Duboin1NT. In theory with diamonds and spades the best bid is 1{, but because my two

doubletons are honour-one...



CAROUSELby Mark Horton

Carousel is the second musical by the team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. The 1945 work was adapted from Ferenc Molnár’s 1909 play Liliom, transplanting its Budapest setting to the Maine coastline. The story revolves around carousel barker Billy Bigelow, whose romance with millworker Julie Jordan comes at the price of both their jobs. The show includes the well-known songs If I Loved You, June Is Bustin’ Out All Over and You’ll Never Walk Alone, the latter being adopted as an anthem by the supporters of Liverpool FC in the early 1960’s. In 1999, Time magazine named Carousel the best musical of the 20th century.

If I Loved You contains the line I’d let my golden chances pass me by! and when Lavazza faced Coldea in Round 9 it proved to be a match where one of the teams missed a number of opportunities.

For my money at this vulnerability its enough to bid 4} over 3[ - if partner has a decent hand they can decide if it is a good idea to go on.

North led the king of diamonds and South overtook it and returned the jack, declarer ruffing, crossing to the ace of clubs and playing a heart. Do you blame South for putting up the ace? It cost a defensive trick as all South could do now was cash the ace of spades, -200.

West led the king of hearts and South won and cashed the ace of spades - the appearance of the king resulting in twelve tricks, +230 and an IMP.

Imagine you were in 4[?Now you must choose between cashing the ace of

spades a la Rabbi, or taking two rounds of diamonds ending in dummy and then playing East for a doubleton king of spades.

It was Coldea who took the lion’s share of the VPs winning 36-14.



MEET THE CHAIRMAN OF THE INDONESIAN BRIDGE FEDERATIONby Jean-Paul Meyer

Most impressively, not less than 6 teams Indonesian teams came here for the second European Winter Games in Monaco. We wished to know more about it and for that M. Michael Bambang Hartow, chairman of the IBF was kind enough to answer our questions.

You came here with 6 teams, we are most delighted to welcome you and your players. Bridge must be important in Indonesia.

We are not a very big federation - with 8000 members, but we get big support from our Government. In our country, Bridge is considered as a sport, we are rather proud of that and try to get the best results for our national teams.

A big event is organized this year in Indonesia. Could you explain?

Yes, bridge has been invited to take part in the most important sporting event on our continent -the Asian Games 18th August to 2nd September. We hope this is the first step towards Bridge being invited to the Olympic games.

In this event, only Asian people can participate. Each country can send one team in each category, Open Teams, Ladies Teams, Mixed Teams, Super Mixed teams, plus two Pairs tournaments.

Super Mixed Teams, that’s something we do not know.

Teams are 2 men and 2 ladies but men play as partners and ladies face the men of the opposite side.

What do you hope for Indonesia in this competition?

2 gold medals out of 6 would be a very fair result. We came here as a training exercise and are very glad to be playing in Monaco, bringing 2 teams in each category, men, women, and mixed. Of course it is tough as the level is very high.

Apart from this participation to the Winter Games, do you have other sorts of preparation?

Four coaches work with our teams but most importantly, Krystof Martens came to Djakarta for 12 days which was highly appreciated.

Thank you Mr President.



A MAN FOR ALL SEASONSby Mark Horton

A Man For All Seasons is a play by Robert Bolt based on the life of Sir Thomas More. It was first performed in London opening at the Globe Theatre on 1 July 1960. It later found its way to Broadway, enjoying a critically and commercially successful run of over a year. It was subsequently made into a multi-Academy Award-winning 1966 feature film.

The plot is based on the true story of Sir Thomas More, the 16th-century Chancellor of England, who refused to endorse King Henry VIII’s wish to divorce his wife Catherine of Aragon, who did not bear him a son, so that he could marry Anne Boleyn, the sister of his former mistress. The play portrays More as a man of principle, envied by rivals such as Thomas Cromwell and loved by the common people and by his family.

In Round 10 we were treated to a deal on which one of the best known and most popular players of modern times was given an opportunity to demonstrate his skills. We start with an excerpt from the match between Netherlands Juniors and NoName.

Once again West led the jack of diamonds. Time stood still as declarer calculated - eventually he put up dummy’s ace of diamonds (!) and played a club. East found the fine play of ducking, but to no avail. Declarer won, ruffed a club with the queen of spades, ruffed a diamond, ruffed a club with the nine of spades, ruffed a diamond and ruffed a club, West pitching the eight of hearts. Declarer ruffed another diamond and played the king of spades. He could not be prevented from making an overtrick, +690.

For the fourth time the lead was the {J. Declarer missed the winning line and having won with the king he played the queen of clubs from his hand. East won and switched to a third and fifth three of hearts, West winning with the queen. A spade switch now leaves declarer a trick short, but West tried to cash the ace of hearts and declarer could ruff two clubs in dummy for +420 so Zia’s brilliant play was worth only 7 IMPs.

Before we leave this deal it is worth making a further point. Suppose that having won the king of diamonds declarer plays a spade to the queen. East wins and must switch to a heart. West wins and might now play a second spade (a heart comes to the same thing). Declarer wins in dummy and plays a club. Now East must withhold the ace (we saw a similar situation in the previous round). It’s a well known defensive principal - but never easy to find at the table.

South took the ace and exited with a spade, but declarer had ten tricks, +630.

If South withholds the ace of hearts and declarer plays an honour he will then have to play the ten of diamonds to get home.

East led the ace of hearts, which looks like a good start for declarer, but the reality is that the defenders have an almost infinite way to take the contract six down. East switched to the jack of spades and West overtook it and now made a mistake, playing a second spade instead of going back to hearts or playing a diamond. Declarer ruffed and played a club to East’s king and won the heart return with dummy’s king. Best now is to exit with a heart, but declarer played a second club and West won and switched to a diamond, East winning with the jack, cashing the jack of hearts and exiting with a spade. Declarer still had two diamonds to lose, down 6, -1400.

ENDGAMEby Mark Horton

Endgame, by Samuel Beckett, is a one-act play with four characters. It was originally written in French (entitled Fin de partie); Beckett himself translated it into English. The play was first performed in a French-language production at the Royal Court Theatre in London, opening on 3 April 1957. It is commonly considered, along with such works as Waiting for Godot, to be among Beckett’s most important works.

Bridge players are all too familiar with the endgame - frequently one of the most important phases of the contest. Would it have a role to play in the Round 11 match between K1 and De Botton?

No doubt North was planning to do something when 2} was doubled, but we will never know what cunning plan he had in mind.

East led the ten of hearts which led the trick. If East now switches to a club West wins, cashes a top heart and plays a third heart for East to ruff. Another club allows West to draw trumps and now cashing two more clubs and the master heart sees declarer (still to discard) reduced to {AQ [KQ10. As you can see he is squeezed and will take only two tricks.

In practice East played a second heart and West won and played two more hearts, South ruffing, and playing the king of spades. When that held he cashed the ace of diamonds and exited with a diamond, West pitching the [J as East won with the king. A careless

spade exit endplayed West allowing declarer to score a trump trick, so only four down, -400.

With an awkward choice South opted for the eight of hearts and declarer won with the ten and played a club to the queen. When it held he continued with dummy’s jack of spades. South could win, but had no good move, declarer soon claiming +420.

Superficially it may appear that leading a top spade is better, but that is not the case. Say declarer wins and plays three rounds of hearts, ruffing and playing a club to the queen. After cashing the ace of clubs declarer plays the fourth heart pitching his last club and the defenders have no answer.

What is more, if declarer ducks the opening spade lead it is even possible to make an overtrick! I’ll leave you to work that one out!

In the other room EW played in 3} recording +130 to hold the loss to 7IMPs.

May SakrI love the professional organization. I also love the format. About improvements... I suggest free coffee all the time!

Tim VerbeekI am enjoying very much the weather! It is much warmer than in the Netherlands.

I would recommend changing the format to two days of qualifications, and 32 qualified teams.

Kay PreddyI love the quality of Bridge. I don’t see any possible improvement, it’s perfect!

Jacek KalitaThe place is great, the format is superb, the hotel is very nice and the organization is perfect.

What should be improved is the way we played!



L’ÉTOILEby Mark Horton

L’étoile is an opéra bouffe in three acts by Emmanuel Chabrier with a libretto by Eugène Leterrier and Albert Vanloo.

The opera has been performed with increasing frequency and further afield over recent years, including an Opera North production in 1991(which was the first time I saw it) and has subsequently been performed all around the world, the Royal Opera House in London giving several performances in early 2016.

Act 1King Ouf 1 roams his city, in disguise, searching

for a suitable subject to execute as a birthday treat. Hérisson de Porc-Epic, an ambassador, and his wife, Aloès, arrive, accompanied by his secretary, Tapioca, and Laoula, the daughter of a neighboring monarch. They are traveling incognito, and the princess is being passed off as Hérisson’s wife. Their mission, of which Laoula is unaware, is to marry her to Ouf. Complications arise when Laoula and a poor pedlar, Lazuli, fall in love at first sight. Scolded for flirting, Lazuli insults the disguised king and thus becomes a desired candidate for death by impalement. But Siroco, the king’s astrologer, reveals that the fates of the king and the pedlar are inextricably linked; the stars predict that they will die within 24 hours of each other. Fortunes change again, and Lazuli is escorted with honours into the palace.

Act 2Lazuli, feted and well fed, grows bored with luxury

and longs for Laoula. Ouf, still unaware of the disguises, furthers the lovers’ hopes of marriage by imprisoning the supposed husband, Hérisson. The lovers depart but Hérisson escapes and orders the pedlar to be shot. Gunfire is heard, but although Laoula is brought in there is no sign of Lazuli. Ouf bemoans his impending death.

Act 3Lazuli, having escaped harm, overhears Ouf, Siroco

and Hérisson discussing the situation, and eventually reveals himself to Laoula. They plan a second elopement. The king and Siroco try to raise their spirits with a large glass of green chartreuse. Ouf, desperate to produce an heir to the throne, plans to marry Laoula, even if for an hour, but finds that

he has run out of time. However, when the clocks strike five and nothing happens, Ouf declares that the astrologer’s predictions must have been wrong. The Chief of Police then appears with Lazuli, who was caught on his way out of the country. The King blesses Lazuli and Laoula’s marriage.

Although the opera ends happily for everyone, that is not generally the case in a bridge match. When Zimmermann faced Russia in Round 12, whose star would be shining brightly when the curtain fell?

West led the two of clubs and declarer played low from dummy, allowing East’s queen to hold the trick. The nine of clubs went to dummy’s ace and declarer now elected to duck a diamond - a potentially losing idea. West won with the seven and switched to the four of hearts. When declarer played low from dummy, East won with the queen and now had to find the difficult defence of switching to a spade. Not unnaturally it was far too tempting to cash the ace of hearts and continue with the three and now declarer was in command, soon claiming the rest, +600.

What do you make of the play in the heart suit? If declarer did not have the ]J would he not have

taken his only shot by rising with dummy’s king? If that is right then perhaps the spade switch is not impossible to find?

On the other hand, if declarer had won the first round of diamonds and cashed the king of clubs he would always have taken nine tricks.

South led the eight of diamonds and declarer won with dummy’s ace and ran the ten of clubs. When it held he played a club to the eight and cleared the clubs, South returning the two of diamonds. Declarer won and exited with a diamond and North won and played the seven of spades. South won with the nine and could play any of remaining cards - he opted to cash the ace of hearts and continue the suit and declarer could not get beyond eight tricks, -100.

3NT appears to have little chance, but when North led the queen of diamonds declarer had a glimmer of hope. The first trick was completed by the six, two and three of diamonds. Imagining he had struck gold, North continued with the five of diamonds only to discover that his motherload was pyrites (fool’s gold) and declarer won with the ten and played the ten of clubs covered by the jack and king. Declarer played a club to the nine, cashed two diamonds pitching hearts and then went back to clubs. South won, cashed the ace of hearts and exited with a heart, declarer claiming +600.

Somewhat mystified by North’s overcall I asked Jean-Paul if he could offer an explanation. He suggested it might be a transfer - a French convention called Cachalot. That looked plausible, but when I checked the convention card it confirmed - as I suspected - that overcalls are natural.

I suggested that perhaps North had removed the wrong card from the bidding box and when Jean-Paul said we should ask I suggested that he would be the perfect man for the job.

He then reminded me of the classic comic sketch involving Peter Cook and Dudley Moore as an officer and a pilot, Perkins, during the war.

Officer: I want you to lay down your life, Perkins. We need a futile gesture at this stage. It will raise the whole tone of the war. Get up in a plane, Perkins, pop over to Bremen, take a shufti, don’t come back. Goodbye, Perkins. God, I wish I was going too.

Perkins: Goodbye, sir - or is it au revoir?Officer: No, Perkins. It’s goodbye.(Now substitue Jean-Paul for Perkins and you should

see the point.)Anyhow, on this layout declarer was not hard

pressed to make 1{. (I trust you will forgive me for not giving you a trick-by-trick account of this riveting contract).

I’m not sure if South’s double was conventional - perhaps showing four spades and a longer minor?

South led the ten of hearts and declarer was allowed to win with dummy’s jack. He played the queen of spades from dummy (unlucky, running the ten saves a trick) and North won and switched to the jack of clubs. That gave the defenders the next five tricks when declarer withheld dummy’s queen after which South’s heart exit ensured two down, -300 and 5 IMPs for Russia who went down 24-12.
