Dear friends, As you well know, on Wednesday, 26 of April, Kampala was knocked-out of the ICL competition by the team of Manchester. The margin was very thin, only 4 IMPs; however, I think that, somehow, we did it to ourselves. I will save precious time by just mentioning the deals that, I think, madeContinue reading “Farewell, ICL Spring Edition 2023”

Dear team mates, This Wednesday, 26 of April, we are facing the team of Manchester. These guys are a very strong team. We faced them a couple of seasons ago, in the KO phase, and lost. In the past two matches in their group, they faced the teams of Bucharest Seniors (former winner of theContinue reading “Our KO match on Wednesday with the team of Manchester”

Dear friends, The last matches of the round robin with the team of Sibiu Seniors ended in defeat for our team. While the start of the first match was promising, with their team doubling a makeable (and made) contract, the rest of this match was rather disastrous, apart form the last board. To cut aContinue reading “End of the round robin”

Dear friends. Last night’s match was a clear win of our team over the team of Poznan. While a couple of mistakes were made on our behalf, they had the lion’s share in that respect, both as regards bidding and playing. You may download the deals played on BBO of these two matches here andContinue reading “Win over Poznan”

Dear friends, Last night all of us played and eventually we beat our opponents by a thin margin of 9 IMPs. It was a nice evening, we made our mistakes, but their team made more than us. In the first half, I would like to stand on board 3 and on board 8. Board 3Continue reading “Win over the team of Słupsk-Ski “

Dear friends, On Wednesday we are playing against the team of Słupsk-Ski. These guys have, at the moment, the best score in our group. Last Wednesday they smashed the team of Topoľčany (we played with these folks in the first match) by a margin of 62 IMPs. They are, seemingly, a serious opponent. Their team,Continue reading “Our match on Wednesday with the team of Słupsk-Ski”

Dear friends, First of all, I would like to thank those of you that played yesterday. The team of Dubrovnik Smart was very well prepared, and managed to impose their pace and system (strong club). Of course, they capitalized on some of our mistakes: I think they are boards 2,3,6,14 and 15. However, all theseContinue reading “Alas : our match with the team of Dubrovnik Smart”

Dear friends, Today at 21:00 CET (22:00 Athens, 23:00 Ankara, 15:00 NYC) we are playing against the team of Topoľčany.
