The Reykjavik Bridge Festival is one of my favourites – two days pairs and two days teams. Brilliantly organised, friendly and a very high standard – what’s not to love?
I played with Artur Mali, and Thor Erik Hoffa found himself a new partner, 15-year-old Nicolai Heiberg-Evenstad, a Norwegian Junior of limitless talent, who lives, breathes and dreams bridge.
Today’s hand was played by me for 1 off. I should have heeded that old adage: when you have made a plan look for a better one.
My 2♠ was weak. 3NT would have been a breeze but, understandably, 4♠ was the contract in both rooms.
West led a high Heart. I won and ruffed a Heart in hand, drew two rounds of trumps and ruffed the last Heart.
