These are the 2016 new Pairs champions:
| Open | Ladies | Mixted |
| Barcellos-Machado | Jaramillo-Ulrich | Gamio-Reygadas |
These year 153 pairs played the South American Bridge Pairs Chaompionships, in the beautiful Medellin, Colombia.
These were some of the boards:
Board 9
Doble dummy, you can see that E/W have 9 tricks playing NT and with a normal defense they dont have 10 tricks in 4 spades.
But how many pairs managed to forget the 5-3 spade fit to play 3NT?
Only four pairs, chose to play 3NT and all of them scored +600. The rest played 4 spades and Chagas-Villas Boas was the only partnership that made 10 tricks for a TOP_TOP.
Board 10
E/W with 25 HP have a cold spade slam…How many partnerships arrived to the slam?
As you can read below only Minutti-Pellegrini arrived to the precious slam for a total TOP.
Board 11
After North opening bid, how many E/W pairs arrived to 5 diamonds?
Where E/W were Caracci-Robles (CHI), after two pass, North opened 1 spade and Robles cometed with 2NT showing minors, y¡these led the partnership to the diamond game.
Only 5 pairs arrived to the diamond game, and one of then didnt arrived to trick 11…All the rest was down playing spade contracts.
Board 14
8 tables played 4 spades…the defense should not be distracted …
At Diego Brenner table he was the declarer of a 4 spades contract. West led a diamond, East won the trick with his ace and returned a heart, Brenner played low, and West played this king and switched to a small club.
Brenner didnt miss the opportunity, he played small from dummy, won the trick with his valet and continued with a club to the ace, king to pitch his diamond loser.
