- about me
I'm just a pretty average club player in the UK. However, I am Chairman of Woking Bridge Club in Surrey, UK, which is a friendly ethical club, so do join us if you fancy a game while visiting the area.

- Perhaps West should have led the King for count.
- ATB Matchpoint disaster
- Me, too, but we play 2♠ as a negative free bid. So it is that or 3♠ fit-jump. I'd choose the fit-jump.
- A defensive conundrum
- Duck - like Skid Simon says.
- Cuebid or natural?
- Fit non-jump... Club suit and Diamond support to help partner decide what to do over 3♥.
- Opening 1!D with 5clubs and 4diamonds
- This happened to me last night! As dealer, I held ♠5 ♥763 ♦AKQ10 ♣K10765 - and I didn't know what to do. The Clubs did not look rebidable, and I decided to pass as someone was bound to open a major, and I could join in later. In the event ...
