MEMBERS’ WELFARE

If you know of any member of the club who is unwell please let either Pat Martin or a member of the committee know so that appropriate wishes can be sent on behalf of all members.
The quickest response will be to tell either Pat Martin or any member of the committee at the bridge session then a card can be signed & posted immediately. Alternatively, you can email the secretary.

Robins Lesson 05-05-22
Robin's Lesson 5th May

A few notes on this week's hands, which were obviously very difficult. If you got a couple right, then well done.
Hand 1 - Competitive bidding

Competitive to 4♦;  West happy to bid twice. On a spade lead, play AK clubs (overtaking), and discard a spade on the club. Ruff 2 hearts in dummy. DO NOT DRAW trumps immediately!
Hand 2 - Which 4 card suit to open

Prefer 1♣ with a strong hand, allows red suits to be bid naturally at 1 level (!!!!!)   
North bids 1♦! Why  - North wants more information. 
North bids 4th  suit forcing. South is now forced to game, so needs only to bid 2NT. 
North agrees clubs  with 3♣; 
South bids RKCB.  North shows 2 Kings.  
br South bids slam.
Hand 3 - Could be competing against a weak 2 opening

Alternative bidding sequence if N opens a weak 2♦ and East overcalls 3NT.
Hand 4 - Can 12 tricks be made on any lead?

... but slam not bid
