Well Day 1= 33 Day 2 = 66 The only real pity is that Day 3 can't = 99. So it is with a great deal of increased optimisim and expectation that we arrive at the venue for day 3. An important day in terms of building on the solid base that we have established. Canada, India and Poland is on the menu and as always I never take any teams for granted.
The line-up for the first match is Bruce-Jedi with Murray-Andrew. This was in part the result of my wanting to play Warren-Pauline against India and not having them play two Polish pairs in one day - Oh I should mention that the Canadian Team is substantially composed of Polish Players.
You may have wondered just how dangerous Bridge is as a sport. Well the team is carrying an injured Andrew Peake with a badly sprained and swollen ankle following a tumble down the steps at the very poorly lit VuGraph Theatre. As I have heard of two other people doing the same thing I have made the appropriate suggestion. Anyway Andrew is OK when seated but finding it difficult to walk. A doctor mnay be in order in the future as we observe the patient.
One interesting hand

(sorry but this is the easiest way to show the hand)
Sitting West Richard opened
1S (P) 1NT (P)
2H (3D) X
The opponents paid out 1100 for their intervention when Bruce held QJT754 in both suits - exactly the same pips......hmm maybe the computer was stuttering.
What's interesting? The opponents can make 5S - Richard's first bid suit, they can make 4H his second bid suit and even 3NT.
Anyway I have to rush off to the VG theatre to do some commentary
Best
