Totally Unauthorized

The good news about losing in the morning KO’s is that you don’t have to get up early in the morning.  So I slept in a bit today, but had to get up to play the Fast Open Pairs at 10.  Gail decided to catch the evening flight home, so  I dug out the green shamrock suspenders, we played two quick sessions (one very good, one very bad) and off she went.

The league claims that the number of boards played in regional events is an option of the local committee, but somehow the fast pairs is inevitably only 24 boards–I want to play fast, that doesn’t mean I want to play less.  Sure wish there was some way to get the league to listen to the players occasionally.

So on to Tuesday’s winners:

EVENT WINNER: Hedy Wee, Frank Concepcion, David Silberman and Frank Dubois won the C strat of the side Swiss.

Randy Corr, Pat Krock, Lynne and John White took 2nd in the morning KO’s bracket IV, as was the mysterious Wayne Rechnitz in bracket II.

Jack Fulcher and Lisa Evans were 2nd in a 30 table side game.

I’ve played enough cards for one day–tonight I’m going to kibitz the Vanderbilt and see what I can learn.  Watching the pros play a hand is fascinating, amazing, astounding, amusing, intriguing and just plain fun.  It’s a great way to improve your game.  Next week I’m going to be a much better player.
