Thursday Open Game 17 July 2025

We had a very nice RED HOT CHALLENGE 10 table Mitchell game today where the winners should earn 25% RED points.  We were very happy to see Alan Carpenter here for the first time playing with Ken Gminski.  The ranking was settled in the last round when Yuni/John played Ed/Jim at Table 1 and they each came in first place!  Other C strat players who finished in the money include Nancy/Linda, Alan/Ken and Pat/Gordon.

What do you think of board 21  where there were 10 spades in one direction and they could make 4S and their opponents had 11 diamonds in the opposite direction and one partnership made 5D?  That is really a lesson in the LAW of Total Tricks!

Thanks so much to Nancy Bates for bringing in the yummy brownies and also to whomever brought in the dippable spreads.  It was a very nice day.
