A gutsy play to get rid of his chance to make it, but a good one!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-0ad5b65\" data-block-id=\"0ad5b65\"><style>.stk-0ad5b65 {height:10px !important;}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-1c608af\" data-block-id=\"1c608af\"><style>.stk-1c608af .stk--block-align-1c608af{align-items:center !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk--block-align-1c608af stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-1c608af-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-638352d\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"638352d\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-638352d {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 66.7% !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-638352d-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-638352d-inner-blocks\">\n<p>The third match was difficult for both Funbridge teams :<strong> the Pink team<\/strong> were defeated by 57 imp and<strong> the Blue team <\/strong>by 21 when they played <strong>the team of Thomas Bessis and Cedric Lorenzini<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the last match of the first day, it\u2019s <strong>a victory for the Pink : <\/strong>15 imp against Bridgescanner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Blue<\/strong> lost by 7 against France Green, the team with two open pairs : <strong>Baptiste Combescure, Pierre Franceschetti, L\u00e9o with J\u00e9r\u00f4me Rombaut and Nao Tabata, Maxence Fragola <\/strong>who are part of the U26 France team.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-66a6bed\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"66a6bed\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-66a6bed {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 33.3% !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-66a6bed-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-66a6bed-inner-blocks\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20240415-WA0006-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Olivia and Margaux\" class=\"wp-image-90984\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-21cd520\" data-block-id=\"21cd520\"><style>.stk-21cd520 .stk--block-align-21cd520{align-items:center !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk--block-align-21cd520 stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-21cd520-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-cd557ef\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"cd557ef\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-cd557ef {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 33.3% !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-cd557ef-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-cd557ef-inner-blocks\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Design_sans_titre__1_-removebg-preview-1.png\" alt=\"Thams\" class=\"wp-image-90988\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Girls dinner with J\u00e9r\u00f4me\u2019s dog, Thams !<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-a36ce08\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"a36ce08\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-a36ce08 {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 66.7% !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-a36ce08-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-a36ce08-inner-blocks\">\n<p>We come back in the cottage to have dinner with the Funbridge members.

So, I lost one spade trick and I count one heart loser as well as one club trick since I am missing the Ace in the suit. But the lead of the Ace of Spades can allow me to take a ruffing finesse against the King. If I play the Queen from my hand and he doesn\u2019t play the King, I discard my heart.

Everyone follows suit. If the opponents\u2019 Diamonds are 2-2, no problem: Ace of Diamonds, a diamond to my Jack and a ruffing finesse in Spades. I have all the necessary entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if Diamonds are 3-1, I must not draw three rounds of trumps: by ending up in my hand in South, I will then take the ruffing finesse in Spades (Queen covered by the King and ruffed in dummy) and my only entry to my master Jack is in Trumps, so I will have no more trump left and the Ace of Clubs (with all the winning hearts!) will be out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I return a diamond to my Jack to see what the cards look like. I see that West is singleton in the suit and that there are three trumps on my right. My only option is to hope that Christian bid 3S with only six cards: then I can take my ruffing finesse without risking being ruffed (if ever Christian plays small on my Queen) and go get the Jack by drawing the last trump if Christian covers!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chistian had only six cards in Spades indeed and I have been able to make 5D.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-2a50dc7\" data-block-id=\"2a50dc7\"><style>.stk-2a50dc7 {height:10px !important;}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The full deal:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagramme-TF-2-EN-1024x971.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91070\" style=\"width:400px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Team Funbridge Blue<\/strong> won the match with +8.

The top 16 of the 47 teams qualify to the knockouts. Team Funbridge Blue started the day in 14th, and Team Funbridge Pink had some more work to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funbridge Blue started the day against Team Black, a pro team from England and Sweden. They won a toughly fought match by 6 IMPs. Funbridge Pink had an unfortunate set against Team IMP Machine from England, and lost big.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pressure stayed on for Funbridge Blue, who were now in 14th with 3 matches to go. With no room for a bad match, they faced Team K3A, a strong American team. A few vulnerable game swings helped the team win by 13, moving the team up to 10th. Funbridge Pink dominated the second match against Team HKAB, winning by 36 IMPs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funbridge Blue now faced another challenge in the star studded Team Scorway from Scotland, Norway, and England. Another close match ended in Funbridge Blue\u2019s favour, and the team won by 5 IMPs. This brought the team up to 9th, a good spot to be in, but the fight to qualify was not over \u2013 the difference between 9th and 17th was less than 6 victory points! Funbridge Pink had a tough match against Team Apex Club, and lost by 13 IMPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the last match, Funbridge Blue faced Team Jinshou from China. The boards were extremely swingy, and many IMPs were available for both sides. The team managed to take an 11 IMP win, ending the day in 8th. Funbridge Pink ended the day with a 26 IMP win against Team Vicuna, a pro team. A nice end to the day for both squads!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomorrow, Funbridge Blue will play Team Black (Andrew Black, David Gold, Simon Hult, Peter Berthau, Peter Fredin, and Andrew Macintosh). Spirits are high, and the team is feeling confident. Team Pink will play the Board-A-Match, and is excited to welcome a new member: Romaric Guth. It was a good day, except Nicolai is quite sad about Manchester City&#8217;s loss in the Champions League. We are hoping to cheer him up with a win tomorrow!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1158\" height=\"1098\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/day3-1-en.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91199\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/day3-1-en.png 1158w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/day3-1-en-300x284.png 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/day3-1-en-1024x971.png 1024w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/day3-1-en-768x728.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1158px) 100vw, 1158px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Margaux played 5 Diamonds in South.

Unfortunately, Team Funbridge Pink did not make it, and they were playing BAM. The team was complemented with Romaric Guth, who will step in when Margaux has to leave. The first set started with lots of different scores. Of the first 18 boards, there was only one score that was the same at both tables. Luckily, there were more plus scores than minus, and Pink were second going to lunch.<a id=\"_msocom_1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"453\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/team-funbridge-alpe-dhuez-day4-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/team-funbridge-alpe-dhuez-day4-2.jpg 602w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/team-funbridge-alpe-dhuez-day4-2-300x226.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A good start was celebrated with crepes, but that took longer than expected and the team got an exercise running back to the playing area, sitting down exactly at starting time. The crepes were not as much help as we hoped, so the two last sessions were just below average, but with a good first set we are still one point above average. Tomorrow will be the second day of the qualification, where we have to be top 18 to qualify for the A semifinals, we are currently 14th, but might drop a few spots when the teams from the knockouts come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Team Funbridge Blue had an exciting day, playing the knockouts. They got 8th in the qualification, but because of few seeding points, they got Team Black, who finished 5th. However, they were still confident that they could win the match if they played well. After the first set Funbridge was 14 imps behind, and then they won by two imps. So they went to lunch with 12 imps to catch up. After lunch they had a good set, which they won with 30 imps, so they went into the last set with an 18-imp lead. The first two boards of the set were 13 each time to Funbridge, and they were suddenly 44 imps ahead. Unfortunately, bridge can turn around quickly, and Black had some good boards. With three boards to go Funbridge was 5 imps ahead. There was not a lot of action on the last three boards, but they lost 3, 4 and 4 imps. Leading to 143-149, a very close match, where they lost by only 6 imps. It is always difficult to lose a match so close, because everyone feels like they could have done something differently. The team played well, but it was not enough this time, so Team Funbridge Blue will also play the BAM tomorrow. Will we get a new match between Blue and Pink, and if so, who will win this time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"799\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/team-funbridge-alpe-dhuez-day4-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/team-funbridge-alpe-dhuez-day4-3.jpg 602w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/team-funbridge-alpe-dhuez-day4-3-226x300.jpg 226w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"799\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/team-funbridge-alpe-dhuez-day4-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/team-funbridge-alpe-dhuez-day4-4.jpg 602w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/team-funbridge-alpe-dhuez-day4-4-226x300.jpg 226w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-divider stk-block-divider stk-block stk-6753543\" data-block-id=\"6753543\"><hr class=\"stk-block-divider__hr\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"day-5\"><strong>Day 5: A little bit of luck<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>23 April by Team Funbridge<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-7a0ee00\" data-block-id=\"7a0ee00\"><style>.stk-7a0ee00 {height:21px !important;}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Today both teams played the BAM. Team Blue finished 16th, qualifying for the A semi-finals. Team Pink made it more exciting by ranking 19th, with 18 teams qualifying. Luckily for them, one of the teams from the quarter-finals did not want to play, so they also qualified. Both Funbridge teams thus qualified for the A semi-finals and will play against each other tomorrow. Team Pink will get a chance to take their revenge.

We were looking into the option of changing the teams around for fun, but landed on the fact that pink needed one more chance to beat the blue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pink started well and after the first round they were in the lead, and fighting for the nice prizes. After the first set pink were one point ahead of blue, with 16 and 15 points, out of a maximum of 30, so just average. However, it was still possible for both teams to climb to the podium. When pink started the second and last set of the tournament with a bye, blue saw their chance to climb ahead of pink. Blue stayed ahead, but with one board to go blue were only 0.4 points ahead. Would pink finally get their chance to beat blue? And could any of them get on the podium?<\/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=\"971\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/day8-alpe-en-1024x971.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91574\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/day8-alpe-en-1024x971.png 1024w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/day8-alpe-en-300x284.png 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/day8-alpe-en-768x728.png 768w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/day8-alpe-en.png 1158w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Pink needed a board with some action to catch up, and they got as they wished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blue started with a 1-1 with 500 in 1S doubled on both tables in their match. So pink could get ahead if they won the board on their table. Sofie also bid 1S in north, but the opponents decided not to double her, and Sofie and Romaric had -460 on their table. They finished first in their team and went upstairs to check the results. Top three was no longer possible, but the important fight against blue could still be won. However the score on the other table was +400 in 5D, so it was a lost board, and blue could claim the victory again. Blue was unfortunately just behind the podium, so there was no prize for any of the Funbridge teams this time, but we congratulate Team Funbridge Blue with victory over Team Funbridge Pink in all the competitions. Pink promise to come back stronger next time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the B final was only two sets, and most of the players were not leaving until the day after, they had some time to kill. Some of the players started with the board game Cluedo, but in French and with some pronunciations the French players in the team would not be proud of. However, that did not take much time, so after some suitcases were dropped down the staircase (on accident if you were wondering) and some cleaning, there were still hours before we were planning on going to bed. So what do bridge players do after a week of playing? Well we do some bridge challenges, both bidding and playing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was luckily no lost trains or planes on the way home, so everyone got home in one piece after a fun week with lots of interesting boards and tough competition.
