Bridge | 13 June 2013

Last week I was glued to BBO, watching the US trials to select the two teams who will represent America in the Bermuda Bowl in Bali later this year. All the best players were competing and it was fascinating to see the extraordinary events unfold. USA 1, and outright winners, is the relatively unknown Kranyak team, average age around 30, who stormed their way to victory on a four-man team, crushing the mighty Nickell, Fleisher and Diamond teams along the way.
