After six days of exciting bridge we look at the final of WHJI-2017 between Poland (gaining a rebirth in intermediate final B and beating Israel and England in de Quarter and Semifinal) against the Netherlands White that overcome the strong team of Sweden in the semifinal.
So today 3 sessions of fourteen boards for the Caroussel Cup
starting at BB at 11.00, 13.00 and 15.30
The remaining pairs will play a pairs tournament(27 boards); since the spring is beautiful in Amsterdam I expect (I even encourage this) many of them to give preference at sightseeing (and maybe visit a museum!?)
I want to thank you all for giving publicity to this junior event.
A request: if in your country there are written ariticles (website, magazin of federation, bridge magazins, journals), please cut them out and give these pieces to me in Slovakia during the European Junior Championships.
One thing is sure: we will all together carry on in promoting and organising bridge for the youth, the only way to keep this game alive and kicking!
Kindest regards, hope to meet you again
Kees

This popular convention is used after partner opens 1NT and your RHO overcalls a suit. If you bid 2NT in this position, it's Lebensohl, which asks opener to bid 3C.
As declarer, you should absolutely love it when the opponents tell you they play "jack denies a higher honor and 10 or 9 promises zero or two higher" as their opening lead convention.

An endplay (also throw-in), in bridge, is a tactical play where a defender is put on lead at a strategic moment, and then has to make a play that loses one or more tricks.
