Bridge: Up for a challenge?

Lose to AA 7-2. Reissued

Correction, per BBO I won, by minus 5, since he only played 9 boards. Maybe I should have just reported it as a win, without mentioning the margin of victory or the score.

Sorry. Coming up for air after this weekend.

Lose to procrastinator by 9; win vs NN by 9. Both reissued

oirg wins the regular challenge with +9.50, by 7.25. I win the declare-only with 62.50%, by 6.25%.

Because I’m going to be busy in the next two weeks, I’ll only reissue one challenge per day. Regular challenge reissued.

Win by 31 vs AA. To be reissued tomorrow. Declare-only reissued.

Win by 4 vs procrastinator, with a push on a board where we both bid a slam off two aces after using Blackwood (partner’s 5S response showing 2 key cards and the trump queen took us beyond the 5H we could make). Lose to NN by 7. Vs AA reissued.

(All to be reissued in sequence, but only issuing one per day, probably until June 9.)

NN wins the regular challenge with +20.50, by 15.75. :swear: I was last, possibly would have been last even without board 11, but CHO deserves a ton of blame on board 11 for letting the opponents play 3C undoubled after I opened 2C.

Vs procrastinator issued.

procrastinator wins a very tight declare-only, contested by only 3 participants, with 51.56%, by 1.56%.

I won the regular challenge with +39.75, by 37.50.

I don’t plan to report scores except the group ones, nor specify reissued challenges. As least for a while, I’ll just be reissuing one per day since I don’t expect to have time to play more than one match per day.

Another good candidate for worst bot call ever. The board

So we’re in a game forcing auction, West showed both majors, he has 3 small spades, I haven’t shown spades, and he leaves me in 2S???

Board played 89 times. 15 times in 2S (on the auction shown). Made 6 times [including by me, down 1 7 times, down 2 or down 3 once each

Played twice in 3S (my hand jumped to 3S over 2H. Maybe not outrageous: system notes give exactly the same meaning for 2S and 3S. Bot passed). Made once, down 1 once.

The kinz wins the regular challenge by 19. Looks like you may not have started, because the scores roughly equal 0.

Fair chance I didn’t. I know I didn’t finish. I went to play last night and it was over. It must have started and ended earlier in the day than usual.

Not that it matters, but you could (if you cared; I don’t need to know) find out how much I might have played by going to your result. Going to individual boards, and choosing “show other tables”. If you do that on board 1 and I played board 1, you’ll see results for everyone who played board 1.

Then if I played board 1, you could even find out how many I played by repeating the process on other boards, in whatever size steps you wanted. E.g., you could find out if I played board 5 without knowing whether I played 2,3 or 4 (and if I did, then obviously I played 2,3, and 4).

Scores roughly totaling 0 just mean that if I played at all, my scores totaled roughly 0, easily possible in an imp contest.

Only 4 played board 1.
