Asian Game_ Supermixed Final_ China vs Hongkong, China: A disaster for natural system

This deal happened in the first segment of Asian Games Finals, China vs Hong Kong, China.

I'm a big fan of Wang wenfei, to be exact, I hope my team could win them one day. 5 battles, 4 lose, 1 tie. So this time I kibitzed by South only, imagining if I was her opponent, what would I do.

Board 2
Dealer: East
Vul: N-S
South

♠ JT8

♡ AKQ862

♢ 3

♣ 953

1. East open 1NT(15-17, bal)
2. East open 1♣(Precision)

Will you overcall?
Wang used Precision System. Whatever Natural system or Precision, I thought I would not bid at the first round, especially Natural system. I just hold 10 points and vul is harmful. It is quite hard for me to go game or rob a part contract. The optimal situation is opponent's reaching 3NT and I could win 6 tricks directly. If I have one more A, I would bid for sure. If opponent use Precision System, you may have chance to bid on the second round. Or they might reach 3NT and the I could laugh in beard.

The full deal
Board 2
Dealer: East
Vul: N-S

Without overcall, E-W will be easy to reach 3NT(1NT-3NT) under Natural system. For Precision, E-W might reach 5♢. So it will be a natural disaster for Natural system.
However in both tables, China and Hong Kong, China overcall together. Normally, both tables will find 5♢, but Hong Kong, China who use Natural system still reach 3NT. Quite unimaginable.

The processes are as followings... In terms of results, it is still a disaster for Natural system, but not a natural disaster, it's an artificial disaster. Hahaha...

The Premier League Final China 2018: Get professional! How a declarer became a defender

Saturday Training: Leading analysis

This deal happened in termly Saturday training. Card distribution analysis was always a commonplace in my blog. Now, it was still worth to be mentioned again. Board 3 Vul :N-S Dealer: South South North 1NT 3♡* 3NT AP 3♡: 4 cards ♠, choosing contract Lead: ♣7 (2nd/4th) West thought for a while and lead ♣7. East followed ♣J. It's your show time. Please start. It was ridiculous. Totally 27 points, only 6 tricks. Even if you get 4♠ and you create a winner in ♡, still 8 tricks. There was an easy way that finessing ♡K directly or hope 3-3 in ♣. How to find the best way to try all the chance became a serious problem. What comes first? For West, 3 cases, ♣97x, ♣7x or ♣97xx. Due to the period of his thinking and table sense, he hardly hold 4 cards ♣. In first two cases, why didn't he lead his 4 cards suit. That was to say, his longest suit was ♠. If he was 4-3-3-3, why didn't he le...

Online training: Please remember to detect the honors beforehand !!!

This deal happened in our weekly online training last Monday. I couldn't concentrate my attention due to the lack of card sense online. Rookie mistake should be mentioned here. Board 13 Vul: Both Dealer: North East West 1NT 2♣ 2♡ 4♡ Lead: ♠7 South led ♠7 while North followed ♠J. And I won with the ♠Q. Now what's your plan? ♠7 seemed to be doubleton. Firstly, you couldn't avoid to lose 1♠, 1♢ and 1♣ at least. In other word, you must make a right guess in who had ♡Q. For me, due to the leading, I had supposed South hold long ♡ and he hadn't led trump, so I just played casually, cashing ♡K, then ♡J->♡2->♡5->♡Q... Oops... Doing some detection first to find more clues might be a better choose. Sending out ♢ first and whatever who won, he had no choice but to return ♢ or ♠. I could win in hand. Crossing to table with ♣K. And now the distribution was clear. If one A for each, now it was your guess time, n...
