Indonesia continues its losing streak<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): The Indonesian team again failed to win in the
\nsecond session after its 1-25 VP defeat by the Australian team in
\nthe 5th World Junior Bridge Team Championships in Kuta, Bali, on
\nSunday.<\/p>\n
In the first session the host team also suffered a 1-25 VP
\ntotal defeat by the Danish team, Antara reported from Bali
\nyesterday.<\/p>\n
In facing Australia in the second session, Indonesia will
\npresent the pairs Ananta Dapu\/Jhon Tumwu and Agus Kus
\nTriyanto\/Taufik Nasution for the first 16 boards (half session).
\nIn the second half session Ananta and Jhon will be dropped and
\nreplaced by Djems Polii and Jemmy Boyoh.<\/p>\n
In the first session on Sunday, the Indonesian team lost to
\nthe Australian team with a score of 2-64 IMP, then in the next
\nhalf session, also with 16 boards, it surrendered with 10-68, or
\na 1-25 VP defeat.<\/p>\n
The defeat of the young Indonesians was mainly caused by the
\nblunder of Taufik Nasution and Agus Kus Triyanto on board two
\nwhen they tried to play a small slam of six Spade contract. It
\nwent one down and had fatal consequences because the Australians
\nreached a four Spade bid and won the game.<\/p>\n
According to Indonesia's non-playing captain Edison Muntu, a
\nsimilar error occurred with board 10. Australia played 3 NT and
\nreached the game. The Indonesian players played 4 Spade and went
\ndown by one trick.<\/p>\n
Indonesia will play host to the US-1 team on Monday morning in
\nthe third session.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the World Bridge Federation (WBF) will for the
\nfirst time in August 1995 hold an open world championship for
\npairs in Belgium, for which 150 pairs have already registered.<\/p>\n
Roy E. Tirtadji of the Indonesian Bridge Association says
\nIndonesia will send at least one pair to the championship.<\/p>\n
WBF President Emiritus Jamie Ortiz-Patino said that South
\nAfrica has been chosen to organize the 1997 Bermuda Bowl team
\nchampionships. The 1999 championships will be held in Bermuda to
\ncommemorate to 50th anniversary of the Bermuda Bowl. Ortiz-Patino
\nhas suggested that the Indonesian Bridge Association proposes to
\nhost the 2001 Bermuda Bowl to WBF after the current junior world
\nchampionship in Bali.<\/p>\n
