nt|marlowepi: bill we should both be worried :)|pg||
nt|athene: but if he starts thinking it can't really work, can it?|pg||
nt|ahollan1: one spec asking   what if Robson ruffs|pg||
pc|c4|nt|marlowepi: with the 9 :)|pg||
pc|h2|pc|hK|pg||
nt|athene: someone suggests he can ruff and play a diamond so declarer doesn't need the club ruff - but that is just a grosvenor|pg||
nt|jesperdall:  Great play to lead a heart from South - but what does he make of the non-ruff?|pg||
nt|athene: if you wanted to protect your partner's trump length you would force with a club|pg||
nt|ahollan1: grosvenor coup would be wonderful  in front of thousands of viewers|pg||
nt|marlowepi: E doesnt know much about the S spade length, and S knows he doesnt know, and E knows S knows|pg||
nt|ahollan1: grosvenor coup   basically  you give player an option that he wouldn't have on his own|pg||
nt|ahollan1: so basically you always ignore the new chance|pg||
nt|athene: this is a bit like "representing" a hand in poker - you have to keep track of about five things|pg||
nt|athene: what your opponent has - what you have - what he thinks you have - and what you want him to think you have|pg||
nt|ahollan1: ruff @H and lead @D might qualify as double grosvenor|pg||
nt|athene: probably what they are really thinking about is where to go for dinner|pg||
nt|marlowepi: that is the indicated strategy in a context of sufficient information so that you know that opponents know a lot. that isnt the case here|pg||
pc|dJ|nt|jesperdall:  Well, it's only the entire Championship being decided on this board, so...|pg||
nt|ahollan1: sweden & bulgaria have both finished play   Bulgaria takes 6th and final qualification to 2015 Bermuda Bowl|pg||
nt|marlowepi: good choice, ostensibly tilting the odds a bit away from winning spade choice|pg||
pc|dQ|pc|d5|pc|c8|pg||
nt|marlowepi: but maybe not|pg||

pc|dA|pc|d4|pc|c9|pc|d6|pg||
nt|ahollan1: david bird giving a much more colourful explanation of grosvenor coup|pg||
nt|ahollan1: some call it the   'was he really that stupid  coup'|pg||
nt|athene: i guess you lead the jack first|pg||
nt|athene: then you can, in theory, pick up @SQ9xx and @SQxxx onside, although you have a guess later maybe|pg||
nt|athene: but that really would be a self-grosvenor|pg||
nt|jesperdall:  Man, this is a great almost-final board!|pg||
