Hand of the Week 12th October

Today I have several slams to choose from including three excellent solo efforts. Board 1 (6H) and Board 9 (6NT) were both eminently praiseworthy but I eventually chose Board 26 as it’s a minor suit slam and made on fewer points. At my table, East opened 1S and partner doubled. Assuming his double to be the normal variety, I jumped to 5D and made an easy 12 tricks. Of course, partner had been planning to rebid NT to show 18+ so my heroic effort threw us off course.  At another table the GPS was in better order and NS found the nice 6D slam. Not much to the play. No lead can harm the slam and the A Cl lead saved any angst at all. Sailing home were Paula and Mike. Well done!

ONLINE INFORMAL TEAMS

Play will usually start around 7:15pm, but may be earlier if everyone is ready.

Using Undos

During bidding, if you genuinely mis-click a bid, you can immediately request an undo, which should normally be granted by your opponents.

Undos are not normally allowed during card play, so be careful when playing.
