Day
2, Strike 2. Marietta Kalman and I finished dead last in the morning session at
the Main-Transit Fire Hall. At 38.63%, we were the only pair out of 24 in
either direction to break below 40%. Marietta was finding it hard to forgive me
for a sacrifice bid that went down 5 doubled.
Florence
Boyd forgave me a revoke during the afternoon session, and a terrible revoke it
was. I trumped a Club with the Ace of Spades while still holding a Club in my
hand. Instead of setting a 4 Spade contract, Canadian opponents Andrew Russell and Arno Hobart made
an overtrick. Despite that, we had a slightly better round than my morning
effort – 43.03%, eighth out of 10 East-Wests in our section.
Most
amazing performance of the day came from another pair of Canadians – Rashid
Khan and Vera Carpenter, who have dropped in at the Airport Bridge Club a
couple times recently. They were overall winners in the morning session with
67.89%, earning 7.79 points, then turned in a 72.31% effort in the afternoon,
garnering another 6.88 points.
