From john at pagat.com Fri Oct 3 08:42:25 2008 From: john at pagat.com (John McLeod) Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2008 13:42:25 +0100 Subject: [Bska] Skat tournament in London on Sunday 26th October Message-ID: Dear Skat player I hope you will be able to join us on Sunday 26th October for our second Skat tournament at the Marlborough Arms pub, 36 Torrington Place, London WC1E 7HJ. It's just off the Tottenham Court Road - the nearest station is Goodge Street (Northern Line) but Warren Street (Victoria Line) and Euston Square (Circle Line) and Tottenham Court Road (Central Line) are not far away. Players of all abilities and levels of experience are welcome. We shall follow our usual format with four sessions of duplicate (Synchron) Skat. Play starts at 11:30 and there is a lunch break after the first session, the whole event finishing at around 7pm. Those who can't be there all day are welcome to play in just some of the sessions, but you would need to play all four to have a good chance of winning a prize. The entry fee is ?8.50 per player. Registration is between 11:00am and 11:15 and players should arrive not later than 11:15 to be included in the draw for the first session. If you are delayed and will arrive after 11:15 please call or text me on 07736 518738 to let me know what time you expect to be there. Players who do not appear or send a message by 11:15 are not guaranteed a place in the first session. I would be grateful if you could also let me know in advance, if possible by Thursday 23rd October, whether you intend to play. Having a good idea of the likely number of players helps with the organisation of the event, and determines what prizes we can afford. Looking forward to seeing you on 26th October. -- John McLeod For information on card games visit john at pagat.com http://www.pagat.com/ From clive.aveyard at basf.com Mon Oct 6 05:37:10 2008 From: clive.aveyard at basf.com (clive.aveyard at basf.com) Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2008 10:37:10 +0100 Subject: [Bska] Skat tournament in London on Sunday 26th October In-Reply-To: Message-ID: hello John, I intend to participate.

John Thorogood and Uwe Greiner have achieved this in earlier events. But Patrick, in maintaining maximum MPs for four sessions each with four tables, has beaten previous records. Patrick has pointed out "Hand 7 of session 4 is spectacular.? Despite Forehand's four jacks, thanks to the blockage in hearts, there is no way to stop Hinterhand making +144 in Grand Hand.? Of course he could lose 384 in the same contract if HA and H10 are swapped in the defenders' hands." You can see this deal in the spreadsheet cited above.
