I usually play fast, 2 minutes per deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I won, so of course I like it very much&nbsp;\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is your background with bridge?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I have played bridge for about 55 years. I started when I was 14. My parents were players too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have played in some clubs through the years, but nowadays I almost only play on Funbridge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How did you come across Funbridge? Since when have you been a member?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I discovered Funbridge by searching on the internet. I have been a member since March 2008. After that, I introduced the platform to my bridge friends, maybe I brought you 50 new players!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What do you particularly enjoy about Funbridge? What are your favourite game modes?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I play a lot of different types of games, but I think that the team tournaments are the most interesting. Then I like to challenge friends and Argine! The best thing about Funbridge is that it is always available and Argine is a very good player!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Would you like to share a brief analysis of one of the hands from this tournament that you found particularly interesting?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I had a tough game against my compatriot in the quarter-final. The score was 0-0 before the 5th and last deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was the full deal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"744\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bids-EN-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bids-EN-3.png 1000w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bids-EN-3-300x223.png 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bids-EN-3-768x571.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"971\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagram-EN-2-1024x971.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagram-EN-2-1024x971.png 1024w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagram-EN-2-300x284.png 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagram-EN-2-768x728.png 768w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagram-EN-2.png 1158w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We both played in 3NT. Lead: King of Hearts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My analysis was that West had the rest of the big cards, so I took the Ace of Hearts and played 7 of Clubs to the King, 2 of Diamonds to the Queen, Ace of Diamonds and one more Diamond. West was stuck and had to help me. He returned a low club and I won with the 10 of Clubs. I took my big cards and finished with the Ace of Spades and a spade to the Jack for +2. My opponent played 3NT just made. 2 IMPs for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tense matches and crazy play onboard<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>And the Palme of the most tense match goes to&#8230; B\u00e9ru 99 and PM2792 in the round of 16, with a final score of 0-0. &#x1f610;&nbsp;<strong>Same contracts, same leads and same results on<\/strong> <strong>all deals<\/strong>. But 66 seconds ahead, PM2792 advanced to the next round. That was cruel for B\u00e9ru 99 but rules are rules.&nbsp;&#x1f913;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first time, a <strong>Funbridge staff member<\/strong> finished ahead of our ambassadors. &#x1f680; The excitement reached its climax at the office where everyone was following his remarkable journey. But within&nbsp;touching distance of a&nbsp;place in&nbsp;the&nbsp;semi-finals, <strong>Vincent <em>&#8220;<\/em>Galesh&#8221; Gallais<\/strong> got eliminated. Those who know him won&#8217;t be astonished by his desperate attempt to reverse the situation on the last deal with an unlikely overcall which eventually cost him the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, his bold strategy had paid off in his <strong>round of 64 match against R.R<\/strong>. Back to the wall, Vincent had opened game-forcing 2&#x2663;&#xfe0f; <strong>with 12 points only in his hand<\/strong>, hoping to then pass his partner&#8217;s 2&#x2666;&#xfe0f; relay as he held 6 cards in the suit. Scared, East-West stopped in 2&#x2660;&#xfe0f; whereas the 4&#x2660;&#xfe0f; contract was a lay-down. Diabolical! Since Partner had passed initially, no game was possible! &#x1f9e0;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"913\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Galeshade-EN-1024x913.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84592\" style=\"width:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Galeshade-EN-1024x913.png 1024w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Galeshade-EN-300x268.png 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Galeshade-EN-768x685.png 768w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Galeshade-EN-1536x1370.png 1536w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Galeshade-EN-2048x1826.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(*) Game-forcing 2&#x2663;&#xfe0f;<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who was The Controller?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>The Controller was&#8230; <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/en\/author\/jerome-rombaut\/\">J\u00e9rome Rombaut<\/a>!<\/strong> A clever controller knows how to cover his tracks.
