Yes, my objective, as always when I participate in a knockout tournament, was to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-palette-color-1-color\">What was the most memorable or decisive moment for you during this competition?<\/mark><\/strong><span style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: medium; white-space: normal;\"><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Surprisingly, it was in the earlier rounds, where my qualification was decided by very narrow margins. It sometimes required bold bidding choices and scoring IMP by IMP to make a comeback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-palette-color-1-color\">How did you prepare for your matches, especially this final against Laurent D?<\/mark><\/strong><span style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: medium; white-space: normal;\"><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For the final, Laurent and I agreed to play at the same time. I do think it\u2019s an advantage to play the boards after your opponent has finished. You can adjust your bidding and sometimes your card play based on the score and your opponent\u2019s skill level. The only risk is ending up with a tie\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-palette-color-1-color\">Can you share your journey in the bridge world?<\/mark><\/strong><span style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: medium; white-space: normal;\"><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a long story. I started playing bridge while studying engineering in 1991. In my second year, we were runners-up in the French Promotion Pairs Championship with Pascal Chalibert, which led to the best year of my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After earning my engineering degree, I had the opportunity, thanks to Mike Dennery, to be hired as a GO bridge instructor. I found myself on a Club Med cruise ship in the Caribbean. Every day, we discovered extraordinary islands, with the pinnacle being the Venezuelan islands of Los Roques and La Tortuga. We all agreed upon seeing them that it was paradise&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My professional and family commitments led me to step away from competitive bridge, but I resumed three years ago. Even during that period, I maintained my bridge skills by playing on Funbridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-palette-color-1-color\">How did you discover Funbridge, and what are your favorite game modes?<\/mark><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Actually, I know J\u00e9r\u00f4me Rombaut, although it\u2019s been a long time since I last saw him. We started playing bridge at the same time and both played in the Yvelines region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, when he created Funbridge, I subscribed. I\u2019ve always loved TPP, which, in my opinion, is the most challenging and enjoyable form of bridge. I especially enjoy playing the daily MP tournament, which keeps me focused and allows me to measure my performance against other enthusiasts. Online pairs tournaments also bring back memories of my early competitions, where every decision mattered for the final score.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Follow the news of the Bridge Cup tournament of November 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":168916,"featured_media":102060,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14927,14893,14925],"tags":[14547,14560,14481],"access":[],"class_list":["post-102237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bridge-points-circuit","category-funbridge-news","category-online-bridge-tournaments","tag-bridge-cup","tag-bridge-points-6","tag-bridge-news"],"blocksy_meta":{"styles_descriptor":{"styles":{"desktop":"","tablet":"","mobile":""},"google_fonts":[],"version":5}},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Bridge Cup Final: The Ultimate Duel for Victory !
