Elena takes the table

An evening with a bit of everything, except contracts kept: 36 slips at the table and scores from 112 down to 60.

Elena won at a stroll, with 112 points and 29 clear of the rest. At one stretch, 9 good hands in a row.

Mihai took second with 83 points — a fine evening, but the gods of whist were busy elsewhere. Mihai left the robot at the wheel most of the evening and still came out respectable. Teamwork with the server.

Third, on the podium: Sebi, up there with eyes on the top step. Sebi got past Bot at the very last hand.

Last place: Bot, with 60 points. Top of the table after the three-card hand on the way down, then straight to the bottom. The plan at home didn't match the one at the table. Bot was ahead of Sebi right up to the last hand.

Well played everyone — and especially Elena!
