There is nothing quite like a NABC<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Three times a year, cities in North America host a vast array of players, ranging from World Champions to those taking their first exciting steps into the world of tournament bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine being a golfer and finding yourself on the first tee with Tiger Woods, or perhaps a tennis player who discovers his first-round opponent is Roger Federer; at the Nationals, you have every chance of playing against the greatest champions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Biggest Little City in the World<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Reno,<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This year Reno, the Biggest Little City in the World<\/em>, was the venue of the Spring Nationals. It was probably the last North American Bridge Championship where the major events ran on the 13.00 and 19:30 schedule, as starting from the summer Nationals in Providence, all national and regional events will run on a daylight schedule, play starting at 10.00 and 15.00. Reno attracted an attendance of 6204 tables, almost 1000 more than the previous event, the 2021 Fall Nationals in Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\"Reno<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

With so many tables in play, the number and type of tournaments is incredible. Knockout Teams, Bracketed Knockout Teams, Compact Knockout Teams, Board-a-Match Teams, Swiss Teams, Flighted Pairs, Stratified Pairs, IMP Pairs & Speedball Pairs are just some of the contests on offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\"Reno<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The atmosphere at these major championships is terrific and socialising is the order of the day, especially when the evening sessions end. A top attraction was the Reno Axe Bar<\/em> where you could unwind and try your hand at this increasingly popular sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bob Hamman is back!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Players are kept up to date about results, upcoming events and everything bridge related by the Daily Bulletins. One of the early stories they reported featured the legendary Bob Hamman. After decades of successfully battling the best players across the globe \u2013 he is still the world\u2019s No.1-ranked player \u2013 Bob encountered his toughest opponent so far when he caught COVID-19 last summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Although he was double-vaccinated, he tested positive and when he began experiencing shortness of breath he was admitted to Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas. From there, he went to the hospital\u2019s intensive care unit and was placed on a ventilator. It was seventy days before he was taken off the ventilator in late October 2021. The protracted spell in hospital made him physically weak, and he lost around forty pounds in weight, causing him to comment \u2018I don\u2019t recommend doing it this way, however<\/em>.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Bob<\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bob required several weeks of nursing at Kindred Hospital in Dallas. As he continued to improve, he started physical therapy, continuing in rehab through mid-January, at which point he hired a personal trainer. Despite the physical challenges, Bob began returning to work after Thanksgiving in 2021, using a walker to help him get about. \u201cI wanted everybody at the office to know I was still around,\u201d<\/em> joked Hamman, the founder and boss at SCA Promotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bob did not attend the Fall NABC in Austin, as he was still on the mend. \u201cIt was the first Nationals I\u2019ve missed since 1963,\u201d<\/em> he said. Bob is pragmatic about his post-COVID health status. \u201cI do require significantly more sleep these days than I did pre-COVID. I can take breaks in team games, but I\u2019m a little concerned about pair games. I\u2019ll likely spend less time at the bar after the evening sessions,\u201d<\/em> he quipped, \u201cThis was a severe illness, no question about it. I feel fine now. I\u2019m not as good as before but turning in early each night helps. I came out of this pretty damn good, all things considered.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

To mark St.Patrick\u2019s Day on 17 March, the Daily Bulletin organised a limerick contest. They were not short of entries \u2013 here are two that made me smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although space is at a premium, the Bulletin manages to report several interesting deals. Owen Lien reported this one from the second semifinal session of the Platinum Pairs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The vagaries of the auction put East on lead, and Barbara made the normal choice of a low Spade to my Ace. I cashed the King of Hearts at trick two to clarify my holding with the hopes of getting partner back on lead for a Heart through, and then continued Spades. Cullin won trick three with the King of Spades and proceeded to play the hand as if he had X-ray vision. He led the 10 of Clubs at trick four, covered by East and won by dummy. He then proceeded to cash five rounds of Diamonds. The final Diamond forced East to discard in this five-card ending:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\"Reno<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

When the 2 of Diamonds was led, East had to keep all three Clubs to prevent Clubs from running, and had to retain the Queen of Spades, or else North\u2019s 10 would become a winner, so she discarded her small Spade. Cullin read the position perfectly, deducing why East had discarded as she had. Backing his judgment, he led the 8 of Clubs, finessing against East\u2019s 9. He then led the 10 of Spades to East\u2019s Queen at trick 11, and East was forced to yield the last two tricks to dummy\u2019s King-Jack of Clubs for making four. Plus 430 was worth 24 out of 25 matchpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thriller at the Vanderbilt Trophy contest<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The tournament always features competitions, seminars and events, many of them aimed at newcomers to the wonderful world of bridge. The American Bridge Teachers Association hosted a breakfast in Reno that attracted 50 teachers. The event was sponsored by a grant from the ACBL Educational Foundation and additional support from Master Point Press and Baron Barclay Bridge Supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\"Reno<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The main event in Reno was the Vanderbilt Trophy contest, a contest that started in 1928 when the inventor of Contract Bridge donated the cup that bears his name. Spectators were able to watch the action every day courtesy of BBO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Round of 32, the match between Rosenthal and Goodman was a thriller. With only 11 deals remaining, Goodman led 114-76, but by the time they came to the last board the score was 114-111. In some sports players would be superstitious about being on 111, but in a bridge match you only discover the scores at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South led the 3 of Clubs and declarer won with dummy\u2019s Ace and ran the Jack of Hearts, South winning with the Queen and switching to the Ace of Diamonds followed by the 6. Declarer ruffed, cashed the Ace of Hearts, the 10 of Clubs, played a Club to dummy and was one down, -50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South led the Ace of Diamonds and continued with the 6, declarer ruffing and playing the 3 of Hearts. South took the Queen and switched to the 6 of Spades. Declarer won with the Jack, played a Club to the Jack and ran the Jack of Hearts, claiming when South won with the King.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was worth 10 IMPs, and the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terrific auctions by the Rimstedt twins<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The second session of the match between Hill and Wolfson in the round of 16 featured two deals where the Rimstedt twins (World Pairs Champions in 2018) produced two terrific auctions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

With every suit controlled and being aware of the huge fit, East made the excellent decision to Splinter in Spades. When his partner cue bid in Diamonds, he could safely ask for key cards as there was no danger of getting too high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South led the King of Spades and declarer claimed, +920.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A deal to delight the theorists! What should West bid on the first round? One way to approach this type of problem is to ask yourself at what level you would like your opponent\u2019s to play (its long odds that NS have a Spade fit). When West opted for 5♥️ and North overcalled, East bid 6♥️. South\u2019s Pass was alerted (but not annotated) \u2013 there is a note on the convention card that a double in high level FP situations generally shows a desire to bid on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When North went on to 6♠️, East could have gambled that he had two Club tricks. But he knew that 7 Hearts had to be very cheap \u2013 and when North led the Ace of Spades, declarer claimed 12 tricks, -100, which was as cheap as inexpensive fried potatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BBO Commentator Al Hollander posted this: \u2018Dear ACBL \u2013 it really sucks that we will only see this board in one match\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interest in the event is such that Bridgewinners<\/em> set up a discussion thread where players can post comments about the championships. One of the best came from Sathya Bettadapura<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Playing in the Blue Ribbon Pairs a while ago, I ran into a friend of mine who was also playing in the event, at the concession stand in the middle of the second qualifying session. \u2018How is your game going I asked\u2019, to which he said \u2018we’re playing regional KOs tomorrow!\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
