We made the last-minute addition of Jakub Patreuha, a superstar Polish player and we were ready to start strong. In the first round, we had a very good start to lead 36-7 IMPs before the last board. I was dealt &#x2660;86 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span>A97 <span style=\"color: #fe0000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span>QT987 &#x2663;T52. The auction goes 1&#x2663; 1NT 2<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span> to me. My normal-looking options are trying to sign off in 3<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span> or pass and try to defend with my A97 of Hearts. A third option that I largely considered is bidding 3NT. I only had 6 points, but this contract looked like one we could expect to play well. Alas, I tried to sign off in Diamonds and I bid 2NT. Pass &#8211; 3<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span> and 3<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span> on my right. I passed and we defended there. I led my doubleton spade, my partner won and returned a trump, they played the Jack and I ducked (which was a mistake) and now they played a second heart, which I won with my Ace (also a mistake) to smash my partner\u2019s King. Alas, we played 3 more spades and my 9 was promoted to beat the contract, but we only beat it by 1 trick and lost 8 IMPs against 3NT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-7239590\" data-block-id=\"7239590\"><style>.stk-7239590{align-items:center !important;max-width:500px !important;margin-right:auto !important;margin-left:auto !important;display:flex !important}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-96096\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Donne-30-4.png\" width=\"2412\" height=\"2196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Donne-30-4.png 2412w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Donne-30-4-300x273.png 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Donne-30-4-1024x932.png 1024w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Donne-30-4-768x699.png 768w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Donne-30-4-1536x1398.png 1536w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Donne-30-4-2048x1865.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2412px) 100vw, 2412px\" \/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Then we played against Tim and Oscar, a Dutch pair who is one of the strongest in the event, so we needed to be tough. On the second board, my partner Jakub held &#x2660;J7 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span>T82 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span>AKQJ63 &#x2663;J2.

The lead was the <span style=\"color: #fe0000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span>K and he could see that he was in trouble. He played a diamond to the Jack to make it look like a finesse and played a club to the King (guessing clubs and playing them like he needs them to lie mostly). Now he played a heart and the defence had to take the club tricks now to beat him, which is very tricky. They continued with a heart and another one, so 3NT scored up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-5542103\" data-block-id=\"5542103\"><style>.stk-5542103{align-items:center !important;max-width:500px !important;margin-right:auto !important;margin-left:auto !important;display:flex !important}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-96097\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Donne-02.png\" width=\"2412\" height=\"2196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Donne-02.png 2412w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Donne-02-300x273.png 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Donne-02-1024x932.png 1024w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Donne-02-768x699.png 768w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Donne-02-1536x1398.png 1536w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Donne-02-2048x1865.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2412px) 100vw, 2412px\" \/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After four wins and one big loss, we ended the day in 3rd place with some work to do to stay in a qualifying position for the final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-5ac5db8\" data-block-id=\"5ac5db8\"><style>.stk-5ac5db8{height:40px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rankings before the last match; it is very very close:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-512a7f0\" data-block-id=\"512a7f0\"><style>.stk-512a7f0{align-items:center !important;max-width:350px !important;margin-right:auto !important;margin-left:auto !important;display:flex !important}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-96087\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Classement-Ranking.png\" width=\"795\" height=\"1723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Classement-Ranking.png 795w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Classement-Ranking-138x300.png 138w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Classement-Ranking-472x1024.png 472w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Classement-Ranking-768x1664.png 768w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Classement-Ranking-709x1536.png 709w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Team Funbridge Blue qualifies for the final!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-05cae23\" data-block-id=\"05cae23\"><style>.stk-05cae23{align-items:center !important;max-width:350px !important;margin-right:auto !important;margin-left:auto !important;display:flex !important}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-96088\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Classement-Ranking-2.png\" width=\"873\" height=\"1893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Classement-Ranking-2.png 873w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Classement-Ranking-2-138x300.png 138w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Classement-Ranking-2-472x1024.png 472w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Classement-Ranking-2-768x1665.png 768w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Classement-Ranking-2-708x1536.png 708w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 873px) 100vw, 873px\" \/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-a982272\" data-block-id=\"a982272\"><style>.stk-a982272{height:40px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-divider stk-block-divider stk-block stk-b3049b5\" data-block-id=\"b3049b5\"><style>.stk-b3049b5 hr.stk-block-divider__hr{width:20% !important}<\/style><hr class=\"stk-block-divider__hr\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"Sofie\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>Day 2 \u2013 Summary by <strong>Sofie Gr\u00e6sholt Sj\u00f8dal (Team Funbridge Pink)<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Team Pink needed a very good second day of the qualifying to be in the top four because they had changed the format.

The second day started with some loss, so we were no longer able to qualify, but we still wanted to have some goals, and thus aimed at finishing in the top 8 and also above average.

Then Klara played AK of Clubs and saw the bad break, realising that the contract was a bit tougher than expected, but the good news was that 7C was not making. With the clubs 4-1, there were several possibilities for squeezes and maybe endplays. So, Klara played another high club, on which North pitched a heart. She therefore assumed that the Hearts broke 5-2 because we played against good opponents. Now she needed to get the tempo, so she played another club, giving away a trick, and the opponent played another diamond to the Ace. Now she cashed all her tricks and North was squeezed in the red suits.

We finished in a very promising 8th place in the Open, which qualified us for the next World Championships; same in the Youth event. That was somewhat below our expectations but also qualified us for the Worlds next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was lucky enough to play the Transnational World Championships on Team Funbridge; this took place over 3 days at the same venue as the European Youth Championships, in Wroclaw, Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Team Funbridge Blue, comprising Finn, Christian, Nico, Andreas and me, qualified brilliantly for the final on the last day by finishing 4th. The format of the final would be very simple: it would consist of a mini-round robin with the 4 qualified teams and each team would meet each other team in a 16-deal match. The 4 teams that qualified for the final were the French, the Dutch, the Greeks and Team Funbridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We started off this final with a match which felt fratricidal to me. We were facing those who had been my teammates 3 days earlier: the French! This team was made up of Maxence Fragola, Nao Tabata, Luc Bellicaud and Romaric Guth. This first match started off rather well with a nice deal where our teammates\u2019 bidding led them to a 3NT contract, for 9 tricks and bringing in 10 IMPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-922d20b\" data-block-id=\"922d20b\"><style>.stk-922d20b{align-items:center !important;max-width:500px !important;margin-right:auto !important;margin-left:auto !important;display:flex !important}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-96187\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagramme-Leo-7.png\" width=\"2412\" height=\"2196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagramme-Leo-7.png 2412w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagramme-Leo-7-300x273.png 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagramme-Leo-7-1024x932.png 1024w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagramme-Leo-7-768x699.png 768w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagramme-Leo-7-1536x1398.png 1536w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagramme-Leo-7-2048x1865.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2412px) 100vw, 2412px\" \/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-89493a1\" data-block-id=\"89493a1\"><style>.stk-89493a1{align-items:center !important;max-width:396px !important;margin-right:auto !important;margin-left:auto !important;display:flex !important}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-96188\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bids-Leo-7.png\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bids-Leo-7.png 2000w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bids-Leo-7-300x184.png 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bids-Leo-7-1024x627.png 1024w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bids-Leo-7-768x470.png 768w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bids-Leo-7-1536x940.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Another deal brought in 13 more IMPs.

We won this match anyway but only slightly, by 2 IMPs (43-41).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andreas and I were sitting out for the second match, against the Dutch team. The deals were very swingy, as you can see on Nicolai and Christian\u2019s table: they played 7 out of 16 deals in doubled contracts. Nothing worked in our favour; but luckily, a nice win on the last deal won us 13 IMPs and meant we could limit the damage this time to only lose by 7 IMPs (36-43). Knowing that the 2 matches we hadn\u2019t played had also been very close, that left us in great suspense before the final match: any of the 4 teams could win or, equally, come 4th!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-2744fca\" data-block-id=\"2744fca\"><style>.stk-2744fca{align-items:center !important;max-width:396px !important;margin-right:auto !important;margin-left:auto !important;display:flex !important}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-96191\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Leo-5.jpg\" width=\"588\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Leo-5.jpg 588w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Leo-5-300x184.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" \/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We were very motivated before this final match and hoped to turn the situation around. I love these final sets, with a bit of stress and high stakes! Andreas had a migraine and therefore preferred not to play. I would therefore play this set with Jakub, our last-minute local recruit for this competition. He played very well, brought a good vibe and, especially, could advise us on the best places in Wroclaw. We got up to speed on the main conventions we would be playing and went on the attack!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this match did not go at all as expected. The Greeks were inspired and played very, very well throughout the match, which was not the case for us. Honestly, it would have been almost impossible to win this match. In the end, we had lost 48-5. But I can still show you a nice deal where we bid 7S, which was reproduced in the other room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-26773e5\" data-block-id=\"26773e5\"><style>.stk-26773e5{align-items:center !important;max-width:500px !important;margin-right:auto !important;margin-left:auto !important;display:flex !important}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-96193\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagramme-3-Leo.png\" width=\"2412\" height=\"2196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagramme-3-Leo.png 2412w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagramme-3-Leo-300x273.png 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagramme-3-Leo-1024x932.png 1024w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagramme-3-Leo-768x699.png 768w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagramme-3-Leo-1536x1398.png 1536w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagramme-3-Leo-2048x1865.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2412px) 100vw, 2412px\" \/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-b3a0724\" data-block-id=\"b3a0724\"><style>.stk-b3a0724{align-items:center !important;max-width:396px !important;margin-right:auto !important;margin-left:auto !important;display:flex !important}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-96194\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bids-Leo-Board-3.png\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bids-Leo-Board-3.png 2000w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bids-Leo-Board-3-298x300.png 298w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bids-Leo-Board-3-1018x1024.png 1018w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bids-Leo-Board-3-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bids-Leo-Board-3-768x773.png 768w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bids-Leo-Board-3-1527x1536.png 1527w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summary of the results\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that heavy defeat in the 3rd match, we therefore finished 4th; a very disappointing result knowing the day before that the worst possible result would be 4th place. But today, the step was too high. It should be acknowledged that the Greeks played very well and deserved their title. I am also happy for my French friends, who collected the bronze medal. And, of course, I thank Funbridge and my super teammates Christian, Nicolai, Andreas, Finn and Jakub for the 3 days of competing in a very nice atmosphere where we were not far off a nice result. I am sure that we\u2019ll come back stronger next time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for me, I am going back to Paris for 2 days, to rest before going to play the American Nationals in Toronto, Canada. I also hope that my friends on Team Funbridge win a medal in the World Pairs Championships that are taking place over 3 days, also in Wroclaw. Olivia and Sofie will be playing, while Christian and Nicolai will be out for revenge (I would bet a pretty penny on them for a medal).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you to everyone for following us and I\u2019ll be back soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-c8d0187\" data-block-id=\"c8d0187\"><style>.stk-c8d0187{height:40px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What did you think of this article ?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Share your view in the Comments section below!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New challenge for&nbsp;Team Funbridge&nbsp;after their first tournaments of the year in&nbsp;Alpe d\u2019Huez and the&nbsp;Marit Sveaas tournament in Bod\u00f8, Norway.
