Two very exciting tournaments drew to a close last week. The first was the Spingold, the main teams event in the Las Vegas Summer National, the final of which saw two top Norwegian pairs opposing each other. In the end the slight underdogs, Richard Schwartz’s team, prevailed over mighty Monaco.
Closer to home, there’s no stopping English bridge at the moment. After our fine results in the European Championships, the Chairman’s Cup, Sweden’s flagship teams tournament, was won by three Englishmen and a Welshman — David Kendrick, Michael Byrne, Mike Bell and Paul Lamford. Brilliant boys. Well done.

David was South, and received the lead of the ♠3 to the Jack and King.
