If you know of any IT whizz kids who want to learn to play bridge and become world beaters, I can help if THEY can help me with my book publications.

When I first started playing bridge some 50 years ago the game was still in its infancy but we liked to pride ourselves on being good card players, and had confidence in our own ability as well as that of our partners. That is not an easy thing to do, to have confidence in our partner, is it?

It is quite clear that many of our newer players have simply not got into the habit of THINKING about
the hands they play or defend. It really is crucial that you THINK and don't just play by instinct, or
according to the very basic 'rules' you have been taught, because simply playing your cards by taking
your tricks, or by following some simple guidelines will not give you the best results. This deal
provides a case in point.
