No excuses this week. At the moment I'm only at 42.2% which is pretty ordinary. Here is the South hand for Board 1. Good luck.

Ending with 44.91% and only 278 entrants. Congrats to the winner fachiru (current rank 25) with 74.32%. Where did all the regular contributors go? Nowhere to be seen.
Not cool.

I felt the choice between 1 club, 1NT was very close. The advantage of a club bid is that it is easy to show both suits, the advantage of the 1NT was that it gave an accurate point count, and did not give anything away if the final contract was the (probable) 3NT. Narrowly chose 1NT

What happens with a diamond lead?

Of course, you can play anything you like, but your partner is playing GIB 2/1. I have my doubts about the North robot. He once failed to take a trick and set the contract in 5♣dbld. Ever since then I've suspected his commitment to the game.
