A tug of war, won by Emi

The lead changed hands 6 times — nobody got comfortable at the top.

Emi wins by 35 clear. That's not whist any more, it's a parade with a brass band.

Bot led for 8 hands but finished second, 35 points behind. Bot left the robot at the wheel most of the evening and still came out respectable. Teamwork with the server.

Mihai completed the podium with 59 points. Mihai left the robot at the wheel most of the evening and still came out respectable. Teamwork with the server.

Last place, with dignity: Nico, with 45 points. Somebody had to do it. In the first of the middle eights: Nico said 2, scooped 6, and Bot and Mihai were left counting the pieces. 2 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Nico didn't — but insisted, with dignity.

Congratulations to all — see you at the next table!
