Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Thanks, Fred Gitelman
- I learned to play bridge on BBO a decade ago. It was a difficult time—I had recently quit my job to stay at home and provide full-time care for my dad. He was suffering from Alzheimer’s and could no longer be left alone. Dad slept much of the ...
- Bob Okker's bidding problem: AJ52 K5 K93 AKJ5

- Also, the first example above, "Grand Slam, by Mark Horton," contains an especially clumsy example of plagiarism. "The Stanislavsky method is notable because it is designed to minimize the conflicts between married couples during the game, and as such there are a quite a few humorous scenes in which bitter ...
