8 tables This was a four-way race almost all the way. Jevin lost the first round to Jorry and Stejr the second round to Jevin. Stejr had a strong third round to pull half a matchpoint ahead of Jevin and the two pairs had the same total for the second half with identical scores for the final round in opposite directions. Gel won the first five rounds to take a small lead but drew the last round against Haorge. Ritold went 4-2 with a good beginning and ending. No slams were bid and made (indeed Jevin dug themselves into a hole at the start by trying 6C on Board 1 and 6D on Board 2, alas making neither). There was an excellent slam on Board 17 that made, but nobody was able to find it on only 24 HCP combined and with apparent duplication of values in the club suit.

Hi Rick, Louise and I look fwd to playing in the 12/18 game at the church

10 tables Dallis had a strong beginning, lost only to Loubot and Ritold, then righted the ship in the last two rounds. Jevin lost every third round t Tam, Ritold and Glynneth. Ritold lost only to Terstal, drawing with Elott, Cineve and Lara. No slams were bid; only four auctions reached the five-level and two of those were sacrifices. The third round saw the same contract and declarer on both boards, a rare feat. We had one passout on Board 15. This was mainly a battle of games.

As we have enough interest for at least a small game, I've confirmed the 18th with the Lutheran church (600 Shepard Avenue, Hamden, for those who have forgotten) at 10:00 a.m. Please spread the word, as not everyone receives or reads these emails. Anyone who wants (or knows someone who wants) any tables or the portable air conditioner is welcome to take them afterwards; this will likely be my last open in-person game, as next year I'll just be online and at private clubs.

14 tables We would not normally have had a pair of Robots. Harold logged on late and I invited Ritold to fill the sitout; by the time they declined none of the usual subs accepted and we had to go with a pair; Nancy began with a Robot and then lost connection. Lernot went 7-2, losing to Ruise and Lark. Garbot took a clean sheet into the last round, then drew with the pair of Robots that had been half Nancy to post an undefeated 8-0-1. Marudy strung together a lot of small wins, their 8-1 record (losing only to Anbot) scoring under 55%, a rare combination. Board 2 was a superb textbook hand, with a choice between a shaky slam and a fine one that required the correct line of play. Board 4 had a claiming 7NT but nobody was able to find the grand slam; indeed there were only five small slams bid. Saranne were the only N-S pair to bid and make slam on Board 7. Five pairs bid the close E-W slam on Board 15, but there was no way to go down. N-S 1 larry3ps+Bluechip1 (Gernot-Larry) 65.81 1 1 1.40 Masterpoint Award pending.

The ACBL has reached its end of allowing clubs to keep their sanctions open in hopes of renewing FTF games, which means I shall have to give up the sanctions for those games and continue online only. If there is interest we could have a game on Wednesday 12/18 at 10:00 a.m. at the Lutheran church as a sort of farewell. Let me know.

Maybe an online game Wed. at 10 am would attract more players

Given the large number of players who have drifted away as the online game has drawn some high calibre players, and as those were often the players for whom I did the most good, especially back when I got to use all my own movements, I want to revise the Wednesday game next year (it has not built back up and we have occasional weeks without getting enough people), perhaps as a masterpoint-limited game and perhaps even moving the game from Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. to a different day or time. I have felt the loss of every regular quite deeply and would like at least to recreate the group we had on Wednesday mornings just before Covid with the lesson/game combination. We cannot have a lesson before the game but at least people can follow my analysis after. People who have drifted away, please let me know what you'd like and when; also maybe please spread this to others who used to play with us but might not see this.

6 tables Nobody won seven rounds; the common theme among the pairs with good resuts was that they were either front-runners or closers. This time the front-runners just held on. Elott were N-S for the first three rounds and did not have any score under 80%. Jevin won the first five rounds. Mahn lost the first two and almost caught up. Jamob had good luck with doubles to make up for a slow start and finish. The hands were relatively simple. Especially at the beginning, opening leads were of paramount importance. Board 13 was tragic, a claiming 7NT to bid to even a small slam, most due to players' not jumping as opener after a 2/1 response. 1 scott g+abbiejill (Elizabeth-Scott) 63.89 1 1.20 Masterpoint Award pending.

14 tables Interestingly almost all the players I don't know personally got seated E-W. Nobody won more than seven rounds; most of the leaders drew the fourth round and some drew the eighth. Jianica (7-1-1) and Larbot (6-1-2) were the two pairs to lose only one round. Lourene recovered well from an early misclick and Boric overcame a slow start as well. Only Jianica (as I was writing this Bill confirmed that he knows them, Angelica fairly well) reached the fine slam on Board 2 with an eleven-card trump fit and singletons in all the side suits between them. E-W had a close slam on Board 14 as well, reached six times. The side had 32 HCP but the honours were not efficiently arranged and the slam needed a finesse. There were five passouts on Board 13 followed by eleven on Board 15 (and an accidental one on Board 17 when East had 18 HCP). Every contract failed on Board 16 and here were 1400 penalties on Board 3 and Board 8. N-S 1 sandid+rademr (DeMartinos) 64.10 1 1.40 Masterpoint Award pending.

3 tables After three rounds there were five pairs above average, with a three-way tie for the lead after the fourth. Maurie and Harob took a tie for the lead into the last round, with Harob pulling away while Heve , who had earlier dropped from first to fifth, rallied to second in the last round. Every pair in the game had either two or three rounds that scored at least 5-1. The hands featured some long suits but were relatively benign. 1 hmtax+bob0607 (Bob-Harold) 68.06 1 1 0.60 Masterpoint Award pending.

7 tables Jevin ran over the field and were the only N-S pair above average. We had nine rounds instead of six because just as I was making the change (we got the thirteenth pair rather late) another "Do you need a sub message?" popped up and while I dealt with that the game started. Jevin lost the second round to Marudy when they had two of their only three below average scores, but they avenged themselves in round nine. Curiously, all the above-average pairs lost the second round. The difference between second and bottom N-S was only four matchpoints on a six top. John and Kevin both made slams that could have been set on Boards 1 and 9. Karleta and Jevin had top boards defending doubled partials; there was one passout. The second and third rounds were all partials, but then we had only two more the rest of the way. N-S 1 hart4949+juh1 (Jeff-Kevin) 76.85 1 0.70 Masterpoint Award pending.

13 tables Pharah survived an early misclick that kept them out of a ten-card spade fit but directed Phyllis into the winning opening lead on Board 4. They were a little thrown in the next round but won all their other rounds. Jaz won seven rounds, Lark and Marbot six. Boards 14 and 15 both featured an opening pre-empt at most tables, Board 14 testing the discipline of partner with a good hand a misfit, then Board 15 seeing how a pair with a slam would cope with a pre-emptive opening by an opponent.

3 tables Ibot, Loubot and Harob swapped the lead off between them as the game went on. Harob went ahead in the fourth round, Loubot regained the lead in the fifth and won by half a matchpoint all because of the last board, on which Northbot gave preference to 2S instead of leaving Louise in 2H. Both contracts could be set but the defence against 2S was much more difficult, mainly because the 5-2 trumps were strong while the 4-3 hearts were weak. The last round saw all three E-W pairs bid and make 6NT on Board 16, though Irene got lucky when she played it from the unfortunate West side, which allowed a set had North led a heart. 1 luluwo+Robot (Loubot) 63.89 1 0.60 Masterpoint Award pending.

10 tables Nobody won seven rounds. Jamob and Marudy drew with each other in the last round, both finishing 6-2-1. Marune, Mahn, Karleta and Roseward all finished 6-3. Jamob lost the eighth round as well as drawing the last or they might well have had a 75% score. Jevin had the best second half - they lost the first five rounds but rallied for above average and a placement. Board 14 saw West with a huge hand, Q ---- AKJ1086 KQ10962, with South usually opening 3H. Board 18 had a slam, on which Kevin and Harold had to move as opener after the auction began 1H-4H and Cindy had to move as responder after Louise opened 2C.

BBO threw all the game times off by an hour because of Daylight Savings; the game is now set up to start on time.

11 tables We had one strange feature today. Pharah won with an 8-1 round record, losing only to Jerik, but then we had to go all the way down to twelfth to find a pair winning seven rounds. Leighry lost the first two rounds to Larbot and Keianne and then won out, winning multiple rounds 105-95 or 110-90 and just getting above average at the end. There were no slams even bid, though we did have an 1100 penalty that was not a top board on Board 4. Board 12 punished players who did not open AJ542 Q53 K974 J in second seat, Board 10 saw multiple different action after P-P-1S on A85 Q943 J10 AK32, and Board 18 gave East a choice of openings on 64 107 AJ1086532 2.

4 tables Maurie began strongly, winning the first three rounds and taking the lead from Heve. Then Heve won the last three rounds and pulled away. Jerik rallied from fifth place in the last round to second. Only one pair was never on the leaderboard, being twice half a point shy of it. Board 8, on which E-W have an excellent distributional lam with a combined 22 HCP, looked like the hand of the day when Maurie were pushed into 6C and made it for the top score. Board 13 was passed out three times when East held A108653 982 3 A86 in second seat. The first and last rounds both began with everyone producing the double dummy result in the play. 1 steve grod+hvoegeli (Hank-Steve) 61.11 1 1 1 0.80 Masterpoint Award pending.

8 tables Jamob and Ritold both lost only the fifth round to Jevin and Myrne after piling up long streaks of good boards (4-10 for Jamob, 1-8 for Ritold). Troward, Study and Marudy all had round records of 4-2 including losing the first round. There were numerous possible slams, all N-S. Troward bid and made three slams and were the only pair of the five to try slam on Board 9 missing two cashing aces to get away with that one. The best slam was on Board 16, when 6D survived a losing trump finesse but 6H would have been set by a 4-1 trump split. N-S 1 Hmtax+mhjh (Harold-Rita) 61.51 1 1 0.80 Masterpoint Award pending.
