i am trying to watch every session because getting comments from the involved players in retrospective is one of the most effective learning tools i have ever seen.

Glad it's going so well
As you know, all this will end up on Nikos Sarantakos' "Vugraph Project" - http://www.sarantako...ge/vugraph.html
We're hoping to get it as accurate as possible, but there may be a problem on Segment Five, Boards 65-80. According to Eric Kokish's book of the event, Hamman sat North for that set in the Closed, and Woolf was South. Several kibs thought they had sat the other way round. Certainly, Hamman was South when the pair were NS in other sets.
Does anyone have the definitive answer?
Thanks. Roger

There will be some serious action in today's segment 7 with the first of two acrimonious appeal hands from the final coming up.

About Roger's query re Segment 5.
I checked the Bridge World issues; that segment is reported
in 4/1996 issue (a report jointly written by Edgar Kaplan and Jeff
Rubens, presumably because EK was the npc of the US team).
It turns out that the report of the Bridge World corroborates
the spectators, i.e. it seems that the official report, on which
our data are based, is wrong: Hamman was South and Wolff
was North in that segment, so we must change the data
when they'll be posted at my Vugraph site. While we are at it,
we'll also change Wolff's spelling (not Woolf).
Note that this inversion concerns only that pair and that
segment, at least as far as I checked.

Now that the virtually live Vugraph transmission is over, all the data together
are posted at my Vugraph site:
http://www.sarantako...95/1995-bb.html
along with pbn format.
I would like to thank all those who participated in it!
I guess everyone will agree that this was an excellent collaborative experiment
and I am sure that the spectators loved it. It remains to be seen whether
the experiment can be repeated and if yes what would be a suitable candidate
event.
