The game was almost over.  This was the time to call Grand Tichu.  And, unfortunately, it was not me.  Although I did force Mike to do it.  And apparaently, it was a risky call.  Adam was strong and would have gone out.  But Mike did have the right cards needed to go out!\n<\/p>\n<p>\nOn the next hand, we are now down 90 points.  In all probability, this is the last hand.  No Grand Tichu call was made.  So I called Tichu before the pass.  And if I were to make it, it would then be a battle over points.  Another problem is that during the play, a lot of points were given to Adam.  So now I need to go out first and force Adam to go out last.  Sadly, my goal was not accomplished.
