I guess our somewhat scientific bidding may have discouraged the double. Yes, 7 would be a grand slam. 6 is a small slam.

That's what happens when you're not only good but your oponent is also aware of it. Seems that playing the same cards isn't as 'same playing field' as it seems.

In the future, could you refer to the Ogust convention as the Ogust gambit? That sounds cooler. Sounds like you did pretty well, congrats.
