We won the fourth set 52-9. At the two-thirds mark we lead by 37. Doug and I will be out the fifth set.

We're down by 5 at half time. As Dan Morse used to tell me "It's better to be down early than down late."

Doug and I sat out the second set. Our teammates did well. One third of the way through our match we lead by 28, 94-66.

We're playing Lapt Chan's team in the Round of "16", which has 10 teams. After the first of six 15-board sets we lead by 6, 39-33.

I'm in Chicago for the US Bridge Championships, playing on the Robinson team. We're the five seed, and we're defending. www.usbf.org.
