发帖数: 14569 | 1 Yesterday at BBO, I saw cozofu & cucu gave Irina and Mrs. Stansby a hard time.
Just my opinion: in this board, I feel wimpb, arrowhits and cozofu are among
top tiers. I am wondering: If you guys compete in events like Spingold, what
position will you get? (Assume you have a team of same level)
And, how far a distance is China from a Bermuda Bowl team? I remember in 90s
(95?), Bermuda Bowl was hosted in Beijing, China was top seed in preliminary,
looked very promising. But then was knocked out by | c****u
发帖数: 3277 | 2 we got some luck yesterday. cucu is Hu Linlin. Hu plays for Chinese junior
team and is the best among them. Irina is also a world champion in chess...

I think chinese woman team is pretty good, among top 6 in the world? Man's
team seems not so good, simply because their rival are too strong.
North european team are very good. I think one reason is that they do have
this tradition. There are many clubs and they have really wide QIN2 ZHONG4 JI1

is cozofu studying in Conell and from tsinghua too? if yes, then I saw him

发帖数: 623 | 7 It all depends on what seed number we got in Spingold or Vanderbilt. I think
there's a good chance for us to take any seed after 16. But sometimes there
are some really good teams that are underseeded in 16-32. There are some
chances for seed 9-16, but I have a rather pessimistic view against the top 8
seeds. As you can see, I'm not quite modest :-)
Chinese open team has fallen behind significantly in the past few years. I'm
not sure why. After all China has adopted a team trial approach lately

发帖数: 14569 | 9 Hmm, I think that explaination makes sense -- in general, I feel China is
still a semi-self-enclosed country, not just in bridge. There are more and
more communications to outside world, but far from enough.
If they can send good pairs to North American and compete in Spingold,
Vanderbilt, ... perhaps they will improve faster :)
I got your point of the story. Another interesting aspect is: balancing
yourself is also very important in competition. I remember a story about
Forquet, in his early ye

发帖数: 623 | 10 They used to send the national team to nationals here, some were sponsored by
Kathie-Wei. I remember in 1999 fall national in Boston, the chinese women's
team was there... Wang Wenfei was still young and pp then... :-)
They played in the women's BAM, and they didn't seem to understand the event
at the beginning, but they recovered well later, placing in top 10 (but not
top 5). Which is not bad, considering US can field many women teams that are
good enough for world level -- btw even though the | f*****x

发帖数: 623 | 14 I have not been back to China for 7 years :-) do you suppose I can get away by
playing bridge for a week (well the games in China are always long) when I get
back? In addition, this would also be much easier if we have a
multi-millionare sponsor...
Actually we used to think about this idea. My ex-pd was a good friend of the
Chinese women's team coach and we were quite curious on trying those marlboro
open (or invitational?) but as time goes by, I've completely given up :-)
