I am retired both from full-time work and from tournament bridge. My main bridge interest is researching the history of the tournament game in England: the first (and possibly only) instalment, covering the period up to the end of WW2, was published on the EBU website in December 2016.
My first serious bridge partner was Richard Granville and he suggested that I sign up to this site.

I voted for 5♦, commenting that I expected partner to have a control in clubs, likely shortage, with heart support. I suggested a possible hand of AKQxxx Axx Kxx x.
I looked at the votes in disbelief: there were 11 other votes, all for Pass.
It never occurred to me that 5♣ could conceivably be natural. Have I lost it completely?
