| Nuance of the Day: Major First, But Not Blindly |
“Acol shows majors early” is true — but: showing a ragged major can distort later auctions, and rebidding NT can sometimes describe a hand better than rebidding a weak major. Experienced Acol players know when not to insist on a major.

| Waterworth Cup |
|
The Waterworth Cup is the County's annual pairs championship.
This year's event will be held on BBO on Friday 16th January 2026, starting at 17.30.
It is intended that the event will be run as an all-play-all Howell competition of around 36-39 boards using standard pairs scoring with a mid-session break of 20 minutes & no robots allowed! The precise format will be determined by the number of entries received and the limitations of BBO.
Full details and the online registration form to enter can be found on the county website:-
https://www.bridgewebs.com/merseysidecheshire/
As always, green points are awarded to the top half of the field. The top three eligible pairs also get the chance to represent the county in the national pairs championship for the Corwen Trophy in May.
