Tricks of the Trade 26th November

 

♠   Tricks of the Trade Registration Form  ♣ 

Please complete form below if you wish to take part in Tricks of the Trade play on Wednesday 26th November starting at 7pm.

This week you have a choice of topics.  Please choose which option you prefer on the booking form.
 
Jacoby 2NT - This convention applies when opener bids 1 of a major and responder bids 2NT showing the values for at least game in the major. There are a series of special responses now from opener that might assist in finding a slam. This topic might not suit everyone so there is a simpler alternative topic..
Or:
Checkback - This regularly occurring convention applies after a 1NT or 2NT rebid by opener and uses an artificial bid of 2C or 3C to investigate a possible 5-3 or 4-4 fit in a major.  We covered this topic a while back and here it is again with a few new deals.

 

To get the most out of these sessions, it’s best to book as a pair.  If you wish to, you can team up with another pair to reserve a table. 

If you haven’t got a partner, we suggest you advertise on the WhatsApp group – or let us know, and we may be able to find a partner for you.

Please note that the booking for this closes at midday on Tuesday 25th November
