Nowadays in the tournament game most doubles are for takeout, showing the values to bid something with no clear idea what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here I had a balanced 17 points, but the strong five-card suit made my hand a lot too good for a 1 NT opening. I opened 1 &#x2660; after two passes, West made a reasonable overcall of 2 &#x2665;, and when this was passed back to me I doubled for takeout. My robot partner had an awkward choice \u2013 its good hearts suggested a pass, but my double did not have to be based on high-card strength and it did have a suit to show. It decided to bid 3 &#x2666; and the East robot expressed a firm opinion about that contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We weren\u2019t going to make it, but luckily the West robot was of the modern school. Thinking that East had made a takeout double West repeated its hearts. My partner might have doubled that, but perhaps it was afraid that I would think this was yet another takeout double, so it passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I won the spade lead and played my low trump \u2013 maybe I should have played my high one, because West won with &#x2665; A and continued with &#x2665; 4. If I had been forced to win that with &#x2665; 10 I would have been endplayed, but North was alive (if a robot can be alive) to the position and made the Crocodile Coup of winning with &#x2665; J to play another spade. We continued to defend accurately to take 3&#x2665; down four, a 95% board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deal 10<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"noborder\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding-top: 6px;

After the normal start to the auction \u2013 1 &#x2663; from me, double by West with its opening bid and both majors, natural bids of 1 &#x2660; by North and 2 &#x2666; by East \u2013 my robot partner had to make a reopening decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course it could have passed, but I like its desire to compete \u2013 you don\u2019t get rich in a matchpoint event letting opponents play in a comfortable two diamonds. And you could see what it was thinking \u2013 if it doubled and I bid 2 &#x2665; it could bid 2 &#x2660; and imply its actual shape. It couldn\u2019t just have spades, since it would bid them instead of doubling, so it must have clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe that\u2019s what should have happened. But I was greedy \u2013 envisaging partner with &#x2660; A and some other values I hoped for a couple of club tricks, a couple of major-suit winners, a couple of spade ruffs\u2026 in my dreams they were going for 300 against nothing our way. So I passed for penalty and led a high club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sight of dummy dashed my hopes of early spade ruffs, but my partner encouraged in clubs so I happily cashed the king and led another for him to ruff\u2026 except that I didn\u2019t get that far. The East robot ruffed instead, played a diamond to the jack, cashed &#x2666; A and led a heart to the ten. There was nothing we could do to stop ten tricks for minus 380. I thought this would be worth next to no match points, but as with everything else about this deal I was wrong \u2013 some pairs had doubled 3 &#x2666; , while others had somehow lost 500 penalties, so I emerged with a 31% board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deal 9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"noborder\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding-top: 6px;

The West robot led &#x2666; K which I ducked, but it wasn\u2019t falling for that. It shifted accurately to a spade, and I didn\u2019t see how I was going to come to more than about seven tricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For want of anything better to do I played &#x2663; A and another round of the suit. West won with &#x2663; Q and had only to play s spade to East for a diamond through and I would have no chance. But East had played &#x2660; 2 on the first round of spades \u2013 maybe it thought it was giving count, but West clearly thought its partner was discouraging spades (remember that I had bid the suit).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading the distribution accurately West shifted to &#x2665; Q, which would have been a good move if my singleton had been a low card. As it was, I could win with dummy\u2019s &#x2665; A, cash &#x2665; K dropping West\u2019s &#x2665; 8, and continue with dummy\u2019s &#x2665; 9 to force out West\u2019s &#x2665; 10. Still the robot could have played a spade to its partner\u2019s &#x2660; K for a diamond through, but that \u201cdiscouraging\u201d &#x2660; 2 on the first round of the suit weighed too heavily on its circuits. It played a diamond, which I won in hand to play a third round of clubs \u2013 specifically the &#x2663; 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This left dummy\u2019s &#x2663; 9 as an entry to the hearts, so I made a spade trick, four hearts, two diamonds and two clubs for a 98% board. But it\u2019s going to be tougher next month \u2013 they\u2019ve reprogrammed the East robot to signal attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Named ACBL player of the year many times,world champion and member of the Hall of Fame, Zia Mahmood gives you a hard time every month during Funbridge Points Tournament!
