[Bska] last Sunday's Duplikat Skat

[Nick Wedd]

The hand records from last Sunday are now available, thanks to Patrick 
Phair, at http://www.weddslist.com/skat/results/ma02/hands.xls

Patrick's achievement, in winning the event without losing a single 
match point, was not unique.  John Thorogood and Uwe Greiner have 
achieved this in earlier events.  But Patrick, in maintaining maximum 
MPs for four sessions each with four tables, has beaten previous 
records.

Patrick has pointed out
   "Hand 7 of session 4 is spectacular.  Despite Forehand's four
   jacks, thanks to the blockage in hearts, there is no way to
   stop Hinterhand making +144 in Grand Hand.  Of course he could
   lose 384 in the same contract if HA and H10 are swapped in the
   defenders' hands."
You can see this deal in the spreadsheet cited above.
