The big question, though, is how well are we going to fare
against Selina, who’s playing North-South with Sandra Felton. We get to them in
the last round.
Not well on Board 7. I go down one on a 3 Spade
contract. I've got six of them. Rod's got one. Hand analysis says we should let
them play it in Hearts or No Trump and let them go down. This way, they get 5.5
match points, we get 2.5.
Can we make it up on Board 8? I hold 5 Hearts, 6 Clubs and a void in Diamonds. I make an overtrick and it feels good, but 4 Hearts always makes an overtrick. It’s just average. Both sides get 4 match points.
One
more chance. Board 9. A wimpy 1 Spade contract. Sandra makes it. Hand analysis
says East-West could make 2 Hearts, we don’t bid it and North-South have the
better cards anyway. Drat! Average again. Meanwhile, Selina and Sandra come in
first North-South.
