Not all readers may be aware, but John Koch of "Koch Corner" is a national champion. John won the Senior Knockout Teams at the fall nationals, along with teammates Tony Ames, Mary Egan and Rod Beery. If any of you are thinking, "Oh, piffle; seniors? Big deal!" - then think again. This team beat several groups of stellar, world champion class players to earn their title.
John played this week's hand against Neil Chambers and John Schermer, a most tough pair. Given that John won 12 IMPS for his team - and his team won the match by 2 IMPS - I would say that this deal clearly was most instrumental in their success!
Kudos to John and the rest of his team. Take a look below to see what inferences you can develop in top level bridge.
