Razzle Dazzle Bridge Bids Sour Italians In 1986 US Italy Match
In the 1986 US Italy bridge match the American East West pair executed a dazzling sequence that altered two tables. Italy North South Belladonna Avarelli faced a two notrump result after a spade overcall and a controversial Roman Club method double. The four spade contract by the American North South at one table scored 430 points, while Italy at two notrump made only 180 points. The dispute over doubled spade sequences and system signals highlighted tensions between players. London reports that Lundy Island was sold to Britain’s National Trust for 360 000, a separate note on offshore sovereignty. The Chronicle-Telegram promises more details.
