Message from Adrian Darnell (EBU Chair) - 5th October 2023

Ian Payn: 

As we enter the final day of the congress, Nichola Cockerill-Smith, Catherine Thompson, Lesley Bridson and Stuart Davies are leading the Swiss Teams by 4VPs, so we are expecting a close-run thing, with the possibility of the lead changing several times during the afternoon’s four matches.

So the Swiss Teams has started now with all the players involved.

There was a definite theme to session 1 – on two hands 6H was cold, but it proved very difficult to bid. 

An extra blog today from the Venetian Congress, this time written by one of the Swiss Pairs winners, Irving Blakey (pictured, above left):

After the relaxing sightseeing on Wednesday, we got back to a full day of bridge on Thursday. The playing room at the Pace Park Hotel is well lit, spacious and comfortable, with responsive air conditioning.

The fire alarm only sounded for about 40 seconds this morning. Unfortunately, it was at 3:19am so we all had another disturbed night.
