Hello. In the triangle match today, we lost to X-Men by 10IMPs but won D'rakes by 10IMPs. Here's a summary of the boards:
In the first 6boards, we did badly against X-men by losing 32-1. All 6 boards were game-makable boards so quite a few swings. Against Drakes, we trailed behind by 11IMPs.
In the second half, we caught up quite a bit. A few boards yielded quite a number of points. There was a 5Hx-5 which resulted in 1100, and a 7NT grandslam which was 6NT= at the other table. We earned more IMPs then both teams in the second quarter, but unfortunately we were unable to catch up 31IMPs against X-men.

A modified version of the above deal. Contract now is 6NT with 11 top tricks. How will you play?
Just for fun: Construct a 4-hand (NSEW) deal whereby grandslam is makable for both NS and EW. Any level 7 contract.
