Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- ATB missed 24 HCP slam
- Concur that callling voids in partner's suit are usually the last thing he want's to hear, especially if the cue might alternatively be an honour! Ghastly bid The key to this deal is north's club singleton, and that south can then perceive a complete absence of wasted ...

- Richard Granville's lead problem: 75 KT95 K9 Q8732
- Trump. Otherwise this hand may cross ruff beautifully. I can wait for my red kings, the loser won't go away on the clubs? If my lead finds partner's ♠Q .. it was onside anyway :)) [i]btw : some bizarre piece of software flagged the above post as . . "objectionable comment". What ...
- Serendipity
- Disagree about the odds of serindipitous encounter, they happen to me ALL the time. I could list various old friends I "bumped into" when I visited New Zealand, but my own "best example" was at my first visit to a tiny village in Cher department, central France. OK, it had ...
- Richard Granville's bidding problem: KT8743 K752 AK7 ---
- Pass. I can feel some clubs across the table and think I'd prefer to defend this hand
