這次是波蘭隊上訴. 這些不服Tournament Director判決的對手上訴之後, 下場
一個比一個慘. 大快人心. :-) Appeal Committee 包括好幾位在世界橋壇是重量級
人物的美國人. 他們給波蘭隊一記當頭棒喝: 自己笨, 主打失誤, 就別來亂煩我們
上訴委員會. :-)
準決賽的最後階段與掃把因的敘述有些出入. 不過不能怪他, 他是從 OKbridge
道聽途說來的. :-) 雖然出現一些致命失誤, 可以看得出來中華臺北隊的大國手們
在準決賽仍然努力奮戰到比賽結束, 也還沒累到一口氣丟掉 50 IMPs.
另一場丹麥隊和印尼隊的準決賽, 丹麥隊所叫到反勝為敗的滿貫其實並不算差,
並非有兩張Ａ在敵方手上的兩Ａ不對位. 如果丹麥隊停在五黑桃, 或是北家的單張
換成10或Ｑ, 就要由丹麥隊與法國隊爭冠軍. 在水準這麼高的橋牌比賽裡, 有時候
勝與負的差別其實是沒有理由的, 只能聽天由命.

FRANCE LEADS INDONESIA;

-----------------------------------------------------------
Open Olympiad
Yesterday was one of the most exciting days in the history
of bridge. At the conclusion of the semifinals, Denmark
whooped and hollered because they had just beaten Indonesia
and had earned a berth in the Open Olympiad final. France
had staved off a tremendous comeback on the part of Chinese
Taipei to keep their chances for a repeat victory in the
Open competition.
And then it happened -- the Indonesians compared scores and
they discovered the match was a dead tie. When the Danish
fans heard this, they found it hard to believe -- why, the
Vugraph plainly showed that they had won by 5.
And that was the problem -- one of the early boards had
been incorrectly reported to the Vugraph room, and Denmark
had been credited with 5 more IMPs than they were entitled
to. The official scorecards of both teams showed the same
result --a 217-217 tie. That meant an eight boards playoff.
Going into the final board of the playoff, more drama!
Denmark apparently had the match won, but the Danish
adherents suddenly became apprehensive. It appeared that
Dennis Koch-Palmund and Jens Auken were probing for slam --
and the Vugraph screen indicated that the slam would NOT
make. Sure enough, Denmark got to the slam while Indonesia
stopped in game. The swing was enough to make Indonesia the
winner, 230-226.
In the other semifinal, France made a huge gain on Board 93
-- bidding a grand slam that made while Chinese Taipei
stopped in 3NT. That put the match just about out of reach
of the Far East team, and France went on to win, 209-190.
Nevertheless, it was a fine showing by a spirited Chinese
Taipei team. (Incidentally Denmark made the same 16-IMP
gain against Indonesia on Board 93 -- Denmark making the
grand slam at one table and Indonesia stopping in 3NT at
the other.)
Of course the final between France and Indonesia was late
in starting. France came roaring out of the starting gate,
taking a 59-10 lead after 16 deals. They picked up another
2 IMPs in the second segment, so they will begin today's 64
boards with a lead of 96-45. This is a 128-board match --
the final 32 boards will be played tomorrow.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bronze medal playoffs
Chinese Taipei and Denmark decided to play only 32 boards
to determine third place and the bronze medal in the Open
competition. Denmark was the victor, 84-71.

TD's statement of facts:
TD was called to the table at the end of the play. South
claimed there had been different explanations on either
side of the table as to the double of 2D. East had
explained to North: "Penalty". West to South: "Probably
take-out - has not been discussed". North claimed that if
his partner had had the same info as he was given by East,
he would go only one down. The play went: CJ to the CK and
CA. CQ (heart discard from West) and C2 to the DQ (another
heart discard from West). South then played the S6 to the
SA, another spade to the SK and South's last spade, ruffed
with the D5. The HK was played and East won the HA leaving
this position:

Now followed the C6 from East. South ruffed with the DJ.
West pitched his last heart, and the contract had to go two
down, the defense winning two club tricks, four diamond
tricks and one heart trick.
-----------------------------------------------------------
TD's ruling:
The TD believed the wrong explanation not to be of
consequence to the bad score. The result stands.
North/South appealed.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The parties involved:
South maintained that he thought that West had 5-5 or 5-4
in the major suits and therefore misplayed the hand. He
knew that East was likely not to hold more than three
diamonds, as West turned out to hold only a single club.
E/W stated that they thought South had misplayed the hand
at trick eight (diagram). If South simply discards a heart
on East's C6, West will have to ruff, and Declarer will
have one more trick.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Committee:
The Committee believed E/W when they said that they had no
agreement as to the double of 2D. This is confirmed by the
fact that East did not pull out in spite of his poor
diamond holding. In addition,West had told South that he
was in doubt himself. West had made a bid which was clear-
cut to him, and it didn't matter how his partner would
perceive it, as he also held both the majors. The committee
agreed with the TD that South's claim of damage was not the
cause of the bad score. South misplayed the hand at trick
eight.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The final result:
The Committee upheld the TD's decision. If you misplay your
hand, you should never try the double shot of a replay by
the Appeals Committee.
The deposit was therefore forfeited.

OPEN SEMIFINAL - THE FINAL SET
After an excellent morning set, Chinese Taipei went into
the last 16 boards of their semifinal match against
defending champions, France, with a useful but hardly
impregnable lead of 21 IMPs. Meanwhile, Indonesia's lead
over Denmark had shrunk to just 12 IMPs.
-----------------------------------------------------------
FRANCE v CHINESE TAIPEI
France picked up an overtrick IMP on the first board. Then,
after two pushes, came something a little more substantial.

In the Closed Room, Lin opened a Precision 1D as dealer and
Christian Mari overcalled 1S. Shen bid 2H and competed to
3H over Marc Bompis' raise to 2S. Bompis led a spade and
Mari won, cashed a second spade and switched to his
singleton club. Three rounds of clubs meant one down; -100.
In the Open Room, Herve Mouiel did not open the West hand
and now his side had a free run to 3H. With no spade bid
from partner, there was no reason for Patrick Huang to lead
the suit and 3H came home with an overtrick; +170 and 7
IMPs to France, trailing now by only 13 IMPs.

Disaster for Chinese Taipei! After eight rounds of bidding
in a strong club auction, 6H was bid as a grand slam try in
spades and was passed! That was five down. In the other
room, Bompis opened a strong no trump out of turn and
nobody noticed. He bid 2NT over Mari's Stayman enquiry,
showing both majors. Mari bid 4D now, a transfer to 4S, and
then he raised to 6S. He hoped that by giving West a blind
lead the slam would make sometimes even when it was a bad
one. Lin led his club and Bompis won, drew trumps, gave up
a club and ruffed them out for +1430 and 18 huge IMPs to
France, who were now in the lead.

The natural auction in the Open Room didn't get the job
done. Auken used the fourth suit but then just jumped to
game when Koch-Palmund showed no extra distributional
feature. I always thought that this fourth suit then jump
to game sequence showed a hand too good for 4S on the
previous round but without a diamond control. Obviously not
in Denmark.
Sacul had to open a Precision 1D so clubs became the fourth
suit and he raised to show length in the suit. He was happy
to cuebid when Karwur agreed spades and now a jump to 5S
asked for good trumps, making it automatic for Sacul to bid
the slam. There were no problems in the play, of course, so
that was 13 IMPs to Indonesia.

In the Open Room, Herve Mouiel's 1S overcall simplified the
auction as Che-Hung Kuo was happy to play no trump now that
his spades appeared to be well placed. But 3NT was swiftly
beaten. A spade to the ace and a spade back to the jack and
queen and the suit was cleared. A losing diamond finesse
let West in to cash his spades, though at least the D10 was
an entry to hand after unblocking the clubs so Kuo was only
one down; -100.
Lin did not overcall in the Closed Room, and I confess to
finding the French auction a little puzzling. What is Mari
doing bidding 3S, presumably asking, when he has a good
stopper in the suit and could just bid 3NT? Perhaps Mari
was right, but certainly Bompis was not on the same wave-
length. He bid 4C and Mari raised himself to five. With two
nicely placed kings, a sure spade trick and evidence of a
bad trump break, Lin doubled 5C. A spade to the ace and a
spade back gave Mari a problem. He took the king then
finessed in diamonds but that lost and a third spade forced
him to ruff with dummy's ace. That left him with three
trump losers; -800 and 12 IMPs to Chinese Taipei, who were
back in the lead.
In our other match, Indonesia played 4H -2 and Denmark 3NT-
1 for 3 IMPs to Denmark.

Mari did well to bid 4NT, two places to play, over Bompis'
value showing double. Bompis chose diamonds, of course, and
Shen thought his defense merited a double. He led a heart
and switched to a spade to Mari's king. Mari led the D10
and ran it then a second diamond to Shen's ace. Mari ruffed
the heart continuation, cashed the DK and played a club to
hand. Knowing that East was short in the black suits, Mari
cashed the other top club and ran the trumps, squeezing
West; +550.
In the other room, Kuo passed Huang's double but they could
not find the difficult defense to beat 4H so that was
another 590 to France and 15 IMPs, again we had a new
leader.
---------------------------------------------------------
INDONESIA v DENMARK
Denmark declared the same two games as had France, but only
5D was doubled. In the Closed Room, Blakset opened 2S, weak
with spades and a minor, and raised Christiansen's forcing
3H response to game. Franky Karwur led CJ, ducked, and he
switched to a trump. Christiansen won and played a club to
the queen and king and Denny Sacul switched to his low
spade to put Karwur in for another trump lead. But Karwur
didn't read the position and tried to cash a second spade
instead, now Christiansen was home; +420.
The Open Room saw the more popular start to the auction of
1D from North, 4H from East. Jens Auken now made the
intelligent bid of 4S, rather than double. His passed hand
status meant that he could not really have more than five
spades so there was an implication that he had tolerance
for some alternative strain. Dennis Koch-Palmund bid 4NT
for the minors over Manoppo's penalty double of 4S and
Henky Lasut doubled both that and the run out to 5D. It is
all very well to double 5D, but it is another thing to beat
it. No problem to Lasut. He led his singleton spade and
Koch-Palmund won in hand to run the D9. But Lasut won the
next diamond and underled his heart honors to put Manoppo
in to give him his spade ruff; one down for -100 but still
8 IMPs to Denmark.

The weak jump overcall made life difficult for the French
pair as the diamond suit, the crucial source of tricks,
could never be shown. Mari/Bompis had had a reasonable set
up to now with the exception of the -800 in 5C doubled, but
it was nothing spectacular and it was clear that they were
worried that they had missed an important chance. They need
not have been concerned as +1460 proved to be worth +13
IMPs to France. In the other room, Kuo opened a strong no
trump and, with East remaining silent, Huang just used
Stayman then raised the 2S response to game. No slam was
under consideration, let alone the grand.
As it turned out, that was the last swing of any note in
the match and France had turned it around, winning the set
by 63-23 IMPs and taking the match by 19 IMPs overall. The
reigning champions had made it back to the final once more.
INDONESIA v DENMARK
Sacul also opened a strong no trump with the North hand.
Here, Christiansen did intervene with 3H and Karwur, who
presumably did not have a takeout double available, made a
fairly surprising bid of 3NT. There were 13 tricks, of
course, but +720 looked rather inadequate.
And so it proved to be. Koch-Palmund opened 1S and Lasut
did not intervene, or at least not immediately. Auken
made a forcing raise via 2NT and Koch-Palmund now bid 3C,
denying any shortage but also saying that he was not
minimum. Now Lasut wandered in with 3H and Auken bid an
encouraging 3S, showing a singleton club. Koch-Palmund
asked with 4H, getting 4NT showing first-round heart
control and one ace in total. Next, Koch-Palmund asked with
5D and heard 5NT, second-round diamond control plus the
trump queen.
Finally, Koch-Palmund asked for a further heart control,
but Auken could see the potential of his diamond suit.
Since he knew the partnership held all the controls, he
jumped to 7S. An excellent effort to bid the cold grand and
it earned the Danes 16 IMPs. The scores were tied with
three boards to go!

In the Open Room, Lasut did not open the East hand and
Manoppo opened a Precision 1D in third seat. Lasut respond-
ed 2NT, showing diamonds, and Manoppo passed. Auken led a
spade, ducked to the king, and back came a club. When Auken
won that with the ten, the suit was blocked. Lasut could
duck the next club then go about his business and he
eventually established eight tricks; +120. In the other
room, Christiansen did open the East hand, with a weak no
trump. Blakset used Stayman and that gave Sacul a chance to
double for the lead. They subsided in 2NT but that was too
high as Karwur obediently led the CK. Christiansen was two
down and Indonesia had a 6 IMP swing and a 6 IMP lead. Two
boards to go.

Karwur passed as dealer and Blakset opened 1C. The Danes
had a free run to 3NT by Christiansen and that made exactly
when the DK obligingly fell under the ace; +400. Auken
opened the South hand with 2D, showing a weak hand with at
least 4-4 in the majors. Manoppo overcalled 2H, takeout
with better clubs than diamonds, and Koch-Palmund preempted
with 4H. Lasut tried 5D and that ended the auction. Auken
led a heart and Lasut led the DQ at trick two, trying to
pin a bare jack offside. That was not a success, but with a
loser in each side suit, it only meant an extra undertrick;
-100 and 11 IMPs to Denmark and a 5-IMP lead.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The final board was a dull 3NT+1 for East/West at both
tables; no swing. So Denmark were in the final! Or were
they? As the crowds were streaming out of the Vugraph
theater congratulating the Danes, the unhappy Indonesians
got together and scored up. According to their calcula-
tions, the match was an exact tie! It transpired that a
wrong score had been transmitted to the Vugraph technicians
and an early board had come in as 1NT+1 instead of 1NT-1.
That made a 5-IMP difference. Sure enough, the scores
really were tied.
You can imagine how the two teams felt. A great reprieve
for Indonesia and a sudden crash down to earth for the
Danes. The conditions of contest stated that in the event
of a tie the two teams would play a further eight boards.
Meanwhile, it was decided to put back the start of the
finals to allow time for the teams to have a break between
the extra eight boards and the start of the finals.
-----------------------------------------------------------
THE LAST EIGHT
The Vugraph crew were hurriedly put back on duty and the
first board appeared on the screen. To allow comparisons
throughout, the Closed Room began with Board 8. At the
time, we could never have imagined how perfectly that was
going to work out.

Jens Auken was West on Vugraph and he opened 2S, weak.
Henky Lasut made one of the most miserable 3D overcalls I
have seen and Dennis Koch-Palmund competed with 3S. Eddy
Manoppo had a go at 3NT and that was that. Manoppo won the
low spade lead in hand and took the diamond finesse. When
that lost the defense took five spade tricks; two down for
-100.
Giovanni Watulingas opened 2D, multi, and Soren Chris-
tiansen doubled, either 13-16 balanced or some big hand.
Sance Panelewen bid 2S, showing interest in hearts, and
Lars Blakset bid a natural 2NT. When that got round to
Panelewen, he competed with 3H. Watulingas gave that a bit
of a dirty look, after all, his partner had shown interest
in hearts and not spades on the previous round. He
eventually got it right and converted to 3S, ending the
auction. Blakset led a diamond to the ace and Christiansen
switched to a heart to the king and ace. Back came a club
for the ace then a second heart. Panelewen won and played a
spade to the ace, unblocked the CK and played a second
spade; +140 and first blood to Indonesia, albeit only 1
IMP. Board 1 was flat then the respective West's had a
bidding problem. At favorable vulnerability, you pick up:
S K876543, H 3, D 8, C K865
Partner opens 1H and you respond a spade. Over 2D from
partner you bid 2S and now Panelewen bid 2NT and Koch-
Palmund 3D. What do you fancy in each case?
Opposite the 2NT bid, Watulingas jumped to 4S, while facing
the 3D bid Auken bid only 3S. Partner was 0-5-5-3 and there
were two aces and three spade tricks to be lost; 2 IMPs to
Denmark, ahead by 1 IMP.

In the Open Room, it rather sounded as though North/South
were saving against 4H, so Koch-Palmund doubled. A heart
was led and Manoppo won, drew one round of trumps, and
played SQ to the king. Koch-Palmund cashed his other top
spade then switched to the singleton club and got his ruff;
two down and 300 to Denmark.
In the Closed Room, it sounded as though Blakset was
bidding to make - he was. Nobody saw fit to double 5D and
Watulingas also led a heart. Blakset led his low club at
trick two and Watulingas rose with the ace in case it was a
singleton. It was not easy to give the club ruff now and
Blakset must have felt a surge of hope when a second heart
hit the table. He ruffed, drew two rounds of trumps, and
cashed the CQ. The 4-1 break meant he could not establish
the clubs so he led a spade and was one down. But that was
worth 6 IMPs to Denmark who led by 7 IMPs at the half-way
point in the set.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Denmark picked up an overtrick IMP on the next board to
lead by 8 IMPs, then came a flat game and a flat partscore.
That left one last chance for Indonesia.

What a final deal! Both Wests began with 1D and their
partners doubled the 2C overcall. Both cuebid 3C. Panelewen
bid the obvious 3S and Watulingas had to decide how to try
for slam. He bid 4D and Panelewen cuebid 4H. Even the five
level is dangerous for East/West and Watulingas must have
been sorely tempted, but he bid a quiet 4S, leaving any
further move to his partner because of his worrisome club
situation. Panelewen passed 4S and Blakset led a club. That
held the contract to ten tricks; +620.
In the other room, Koch-Palmund responded 3D to the cuebid.
So far as I am aware, that was just a very good bid, rather
than systemic, in that it allowed Auken to bid his major,
if he had one, and right-side the final contract. Sure
enough, Auken bid 3S and Koch-Palmund raised to 4S. Auken
thought how best to proceed then and (I think) decided to
bid 4NT and assume that a one key card response would be
the HA rather than the CA. Sure enough, Koch-Palmund bid
5C, consistent with one key card. Now Auken bid 5D to ask
for the trump queen. Had Koch-Palmund denied the trump
queen, Auken would have settled for 5S and Denmark would
have been in the final, but Koch-Palmund had only promised
four spades so far and judged that the fifth trump made it
correct to claim possession of the queen. He bid 6S and the
Vugraph audience erupted.
Lasut led ace and another club and Auken had no reason to
do other than lay down the ace of trumps.
Indonesia had gained 12 IMPs on the final board (shown on
Vugraph) of the extra eight to win by 4 IMPs. In a match

would go through to their first ever final. They would take
on France, the defending champions, over 128 boards for the
title of World Team Olympiad Open Champions.
