We agreed with Sabine Auken and Roy Welland a few years ago that we should play a tournament together, and we are happy that we chose vanderbilt  this year :) . Dennis has played the U.S. nationals before, but Morten made his first apperents.

celebrate the victory in one of the world's most prestigious tournaments.We played 64 boards per match. In round of 16, Dennis finally got to play against his favourite bridge player, Geir Helgemo, and Tor Helness. It was a very exciting match, were we had to catch up 56 imps on the last 16 boards. 

All teams in Vanderbilt played very well, and it was impressive how they changed bidding style based on the intermediate result. But they are probably used to be in similar situations. Our team mate, Roy Welland is very good at creating imps when we need them, especially against sponsors.
