[Bska] Hand records from our January Duplikat event

[Nick Wedd]

The hand records from our January event are now available at
http://www.weddslist.com/skat/results/yc16/hands.xls thanks to Patrick 
Phair.

I see that, for 15 of the 84 deals, the result was identical at all 
three tables.  This is higher than I have noticed in the past; maybe 
players are getting better.

But one hand struck me as odd.  Vorhand, holding
   J   C H
   C   K Q
   S   K
   H   K 9
   D   9 8 7
became declarer, and unsurprisingly, failed in his contract.  Why would 
anyone bid on that?  I can only guess that someone else said "18", and 
he responded "yes" before looking at his hand.
