from the south african finals
Maybe it was the only game in town this morning, but I like to think I’d have logged in and watched the South African Teams Finals anyway. You will, of course, remember the thrilling South Africa - Italy quarterfinal match last October in Shanghai. I’m a big fan of these guys. I watched a perfectly flat board which I’d guessed would be anything but. What do you think:
Nobody vul, Alon Apteker held:
-
63
AQJ86
AJT932
His partner passed in first position Right Hand Opponent opened the bidding 1
so Apteker bid 1
and Lefty bid 1
. After another pass from partner and 2
from Righty, what’s right? What’s your plan? What would you open if there were two passes in front of you?

Too much playing strength, IMHO, to remain silent. I’m a 3C bidder…
