I had the privilege of being part of the Israeli Open team, together with my partner Gilad Altshuler. Many years ago we both represented Israel on the international scene, so for us the event also had a nostalgic side.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other two pairs of the team, the super-talented Birman-Padon and Zamir-Toledano, were the driving force of the team and earned us the 5th place.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gilad and me, although not in top form, did have some interesting moments. Here is one, where a funny bidding position occurred, from our match against Finland:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-3fc2a9e\" data-block-id=\"3fc2a9e\"><style>.stk-3fc2a9e{height:15px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Red vs green, I held the following powerful hand:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/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=\"488\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hand.1.uk_-1024x488.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-98446\" style=\"width:450px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hand.1.uk_-1024x488.png 1024w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hand.1.uk_-300x143.png 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hand.1.uk_-768x366.png 768w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hand.1.uk_.png 1300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-5250e63\" data-block-id=\"5250e63\"><style>.stk-5250e63{height:15px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who are not familiar with playing conditions at competitive events, note that we play with diagonal screens across the table, preventing a player from seeing his partner during the game. The bidding is done using tablets. Only after the bidding and the opening lead are made, a window is opened in the screen to play the cards.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, at this instance the tablet showed that my partner, the dealer, opened 2&#x2666;&#xfe0f;. We play this as simple &#8220;multi&#8221; showing a weak 2 bid in one of the majors. RHO (on my side of the screen) overcalled 2&#x2665;&#xfe0f; (natural).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-00586b4\" data-block-id=\"00586b4\"><style>.stk-00586b4 .stk--block-align-00586b4{align-items:center !important}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk--block-align-00586b4 stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-00586b4-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-e7e6998\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"e7e6998\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-e7e6998{flex:var(--stk-flex-grow,1) 1 33.3% !important}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-e7e6998-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-e7e6998-inner-blocks\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/goto-games\/image\/upload\/v1727439352\/Content%20marketing\/2024-10-07_MKT-the-operation-failed\/Illustration-n_1.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:auto;height:150px\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-8c68a02\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"8c68a02\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-8c68a02{flex:var(--stk-flex-grow,1) 1 66.7% !important}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-8c68a02-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-8c68a02-inner-blocks\">\n<p>The situation was already a bit awkward. RHO showed a heart suit, I had Spades and no idea whatsoever as to what Partner&#8217;s major suit was! Anyway, thinking to myself that my Diamonds could make a nice trump suit, no matter what Partner&#8217;s major was, for now I could easily ask. So, I bid 2NT, which is an asking bid. After a small pause, the tablet showed that LHO bid 3&#x2660;&#xfe0f;, and Partner passed.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Things just got a lot more awkward\u2026 Not only RHO bid Hearts, but now LHO bid Spades (which I hold as well). Partner was rapidly running out of majors\u2026 Of course, LHO might be just psyching around with that spade bid (many partnerships actually play other major bids after opponent&#8217;s multi as cue bids), but if Spades were Partner&#8217;s suit, why didn&#8217;t he double??&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking my time, I observed RHO who slowly raised his pen and started writing something on his scorepad. Then he raised it and I saw &#8220;undiscussed&#8221; written there. Still, I was thinking, if indeed LHO&#8217;s bid wasn&#8217;t natural and Partner&#8217;s suit was Spades, why didn&#8217;t he double?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-6dce3b5\" data-block-id=\"6dce3b5\"><style>.stk-6dce3b5 .stk--block-align-6dce3b5{align-items:center !important}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk--block-align-6dce3b5 stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-6dce3b5-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-ee20c66\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"ee20c66\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-ee20c66{flex:var(--stk-flex-grow,1) 1 66.7% !important}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-ee20c66-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-ee20c66-inner-blocks\">\n<p>Then it occurred to me. Suppose LHO (remember, he is on my partner&#8217;s side of the screen), who knew that his spade bid was not natural (showing heart support), accordingly alerted his 3&#x2660;&#xfe0f; bid to my partner. Now my partner &#8220;knew&#8221; that I knew that opponent&#8217;s suit was Hearts, and thus that his suit was Spades, and he didn&#8217;t have to double in order to just show Spades. He could pass to show relatively weak Spades. That, of course, coincided perfectly with my own spade holding, which didn&#8217;t leave much quality for Partner&#8217;s Spades.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-80e52f2\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"80e52f2\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-80e52f2{flex:var(--stk-flex-grow,1) 1 33.3% !important}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-80e52f2-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-80e52f2-inner-blocks\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/goto-games\/image\/upload\/v1727439352\/Content%20marketing\/2024-10-07_MKT-the-operation-failed\/Illustration-n_3.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:auto;height:200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>That, I decided, is the most logical explanation for what happened. So, my Partner&#8217;s suit<strong> is<\/strong> Spades and it just remains to see how many Aces he has. RHO inserted a bid of 4&#x2663;&#xfe0f;, which after everything didn&#8217;t surprise me. I bid 4NT, asking for Aces. The next bids on the tablet were 5&#x2665;&#xfe0f; by LHO (I guess, on that board, opponent&#8217;s pass buttons were disabled) and Pass by my partner. Playing DOPI, my partner\u2018s Pass showed one key card. As a matter of fact, LHO&#8217;s 5&#x2665;&#xfe0f; bid, by showing his real heart fit, actually helped clear the confusion. Trusting my previous analysis, I left behind any thought of playing in Diamonds and just bid 6&#x2660;&#xfe0f;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-69ee63f\" data-block-id=\"69ee63f\"><style>.stk-69ee63f{height:15px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Partner&#8217;s hand was:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/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=\"488\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hand.2.uk_-1024x488.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-98448\" style=\"width:450px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hand.2.uk_-1024x488.png 1024w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hand.2.uk_-300x143.png 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hand.2.uk_-768x366.png 768w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hand.2.uk_.png 1300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-a19f69f\" data-block-id=\"a19f69f\"><style>.stk-a19f69f{height:25px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Opponents led a club, won the trick, and I claimed the rest for +1430.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-3427341\" data-block-id=\"3427341\"><style>.stk-3427341{height:40px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The full hand and bidding:<\/strong>&nbsp;Board 16, Dealer W, E-W Vul.&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-87629a9\" data-block-id=\"87629a9\"><style>.stk-87629a9 .stk--block-align-87629a9{align-items:center !important}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk--block-align-87629a9 stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-87629a9-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-4409214\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"4409214\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-4409214-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-4409214-inner-blocks\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"932\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diag.1.uk_-2-1024x932.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-98449\" style=\"width:300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diag.1.uk_-2-1024x932.png 1024w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diag.1.uk_-2-300x273.png 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diag.1.uk_-2-768x699.png 768w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diag.1.uk_-2.png 1206w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-5ad1864\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"5ad1864\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-5ad1864-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-5ad1864-inner-blocks\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"932\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bids.1.uk_.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-98450\" style=\"width:300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bids.1.uk_.png 1000w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bids.1.uk_-300x280.png 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bids.1.uk_-768x716.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Discussing the hand after the match, it turned out that things weren&#8217;t that clear on the other side of the screen either.
