The Top Bidders for February 2021
This month’s competition winner, with an excellent score of 77/80, is:
Kresten Sandager Kristensen (BBO; kesse)
from Copenhagen, Denmark
Kresten is 66 years old and has been playing for 38 years. He says that he once played just under the top level in Denmark but now plays for fun and amusement. He used to watch the big tournaments on BBO VuGraph and has started playing online since his local club closed due to corona.
Congratulations to Kresten who wins 50 BB$ and a 1 month subscription to Prime!
