Before our session began at 8 we had time in the afternoon to kibitz some of the "star" teams playing in the open division that started its first session at 1 P.M. Andrew and I sat down to watch Meckstroth and Rodwell and it just so happened they were playing a 6 board match against District 14's own Bill Kent, Monte Evans, Vernon Evans, and Peggy Kaplan.
We were impressed that Monte and Vernon playing against the famous Meckwell seemed very cool and collected. They fought hard and beat the former world champions by like 12 imps. Way to go District 14!
We also watched Meckwell's teamates. Larry Cohen and David Berkowitz, for one 6 board round. I thought it was interesting that Cohen, the law of total tricks guru, bid only 2H holding Jxx, 8752, xx, KQxx after his partner opened 1H. The auction went 1h p 2h dbl p 2s all pass and Joe Grue made 2s. A 3h Bergen raise seems an ok option to me. It has good chances to make and blocks the opponents out a bit, but I'm not a world champion!
