nt|Walddk2: Comprehensively even when their Polish opponents conceded after 32 of 48 boards|pg||

mb|1H|nt|udo: 6@D ok for NS|pg||
nt|ritong: unclear which hand will be dummy, though|pg||
nt|vugraph37: but a careless lead would help|pg||
nt|udo: when he could get twice to dummy:)))|pg||
nt|vugraph37: 6@d will also score a beer card|pg||
mb|2H!|mb|4H|nt|vugraph37: nice aggressive bid by wang|pg||
nt|udo: rather strong for 4 @H:))))|pg||
mb|p|mb|p|nt|doctorone: E Could have bid 4@c, to help part decision in the competitive auction|pg||
nt|ritong: or 4@d if they have agreed on splintering style|pg||
nt|doctorone: yes|pg||
mb|4S|mb|5H|nt|udo: now 5 @C at least, would have been my bid|pg||
nt|ritong: tsk tsk...|pg||

nt|ritong: mine too, udo|pg||
nt|udo: both sides are making 5 in their contracts?|pg||
mb|p|mb|p|mb|5S|mb|p|mb|p|mb|p|nt|udo: or os this down1 with passive def|pg||
nt|ritong: i guess 5@h go down, anyway the non vul boss suit gets it|pg||
nt|doctorone: the fact that S passes all the way lets me think that North's minor suit is "unknown" to him..|pg||
nt|ritong: yup|pg||
nt|udo: what should north lead against 5 @H to beat it ?|pg||
nt|ritong: @c jack|pg||
pc|cT|nt|udo: yes, only lead|pg||
nt|vugraph37: wang trying to find an entry for a @D ruff|pg||
