Update from Day 1

AN INTERESTING UPDATE FROM MATCH 2

 

This was my original post from Day 1.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Match 2                           16:30     to            19:00

Boards of interest in this match:

Board 20

 

The contract to get to of course is 7. The key to getting there is finding the big fit and South having second round control and there are no losers. This is not always easy in a standard 2 strong opening from North. A strong system finds the 10 card fit early and gets there comfortably.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been told that the Australian Ladies found the answer in a Standard system.
