Here is another exciting board that went in favor to Norway. With 7-4 in two suits Signe Buus Thomsen decided to preempt with 3 clubs. When Grude raised 5 diamonds to six there was hard for Jepsen not to bid 7 clubs. Ellingsen in closed passed after the 1 D opening and that gave him the chance to lead his stiff spade and ruff the next one against 6 diamond. 8 goldworthy imps to Norway. 

  todays first match in the vugraph was played between Norway U-25 and Norway U-20. The first big swing appeared in board 2.

Eide decided to bid 6 NT after Ellingsens 3 diamond. Looks like there was a misunderstanding with the 3 diamond bid. 6 NT was unmakeable and Norway U-20 took the lead by by 14 IMPs when Skjetne-grude played 4 hearts doubled 4 down. 

Board 13

Board 13 was an interesting board in the vugraph match between Sweden U25 and Denmark U25.

Daniel Gullberg in south had a real bidding problem over 3 hearts. He solved this problem with a conventional 3NT showing 4 diamonds and 6(+)clubs, and his partner Johan Karlsson ended the bidding competition with 5 diamonds. Karlsson had a fast play for 12 tricks. At the other table Peter Jepsen opened with 2 diamonds, Cecilia Rimstedt in east bid 2 hearts and Majka Bilde in soth ended the auction with 5 diamonds, making 12 tricks and a flat board.

The Norwegian U20 team bid and made 6 diamonds after this bidding competition

(2 diamonds showed weak with 5 or 6 diamonds, 2NT forcing with diamond support, 3NT showing 6 diamonds, 4NT 0314 blackwood, 5 hearts 2 aces)
