Øyvind earned his nickname 'Saur Power' in Cardiff two years ago when he found some spectacular leads to beat what seemed like more or less waterproof contracts. His skills have not been too explicitly present here in Vienna, but in the VuGraph match against the Netherlands he made a forceful comeback. One of his efforts looked like this:

Board 9. Dealer North. EW Game ª A 9 6 4 2 © K 2 ¨ Q 9 5 § K Q 6 ª K 8 5 ª Q 3 © A 7 5 4 3 © Q 10 8 ¨ K J 10 4 ¨ A 8 7 2 § 9 § J 5 3 2 ª J 10 7 © J 9 6 ¨ 6 3 § A 10 8 7 4

The Dutch North played the normal contract of Two Spades, which is a favorite to make against most normal defences. At eight junior tables 2ª made 8 or 9 tricks. But when Øyvind lead the ¨7, North was deflected from a winning line, placing the ¨AK on his right. Boye won the king and returned the nine of clubs, which declarer won. At this point he could have exited with a diamond but imagining no danger simply played the ace and another spade. However Øyvind was merciless. In with the queen, he played the eight of hearts to his partner's ace, and the king of spades extracted dummy's last trump. To North's surprise the defence cashed two diamond tricks to put the contract one light. Beautiful!
