That board 7 was spectacular. I'd love to see a whole video showing how you visualized the different squeezes available and determined the right line of play. Also, these videos where you go through your thought process are the absolute best.
Very good analysis. I played this in one hour and got only 52%, I played some sets before for 2 hours and got around 60%. I do find thinking more helps a lot and that’s what you are doing here 😊
Yeah, that's the difference between a professional and an amateur. If I'm allocating 12 hours to bridge over a weekend, it's going to be face-to-face. But I'm also really bored with the format. Every year it is the same, I get sectional awards almost every session, never overall awards. If they changed anything at all in the last 7 years, I would be more interested in playing. It could be the format (why not IMP pairs?), the scoring (fewer sectional awards, more overall awards), or just improving the bot play (effectively unchanged since before the pandemic. It's fine, I'll spend my money elsewhere.
Rob says "we have to play faster" then rambles on about everything. He must be the most irritating opponent - agonizing over whether to play the 2 or the 3!! He's a grand life master at the Sominex coup
Pin of shame lol. If you think he thinks this much at the table, you’d be wrong. If you think he takes the time to explain his thought process, you’d be wrong
Watched the whole thing, really great video. Thanks!

What a round, Rob!
