Thanks for all your answers to what were not easy questions. Not everyone was in agreement, and nobody, unsurprisingly, agreed with me on the very first problem. Here is what most of our panelists thought:

You are South each time and match points.

This series will review deals from RealBridge as played at the Hutt Bridge Club. This one was also played in X-Clubs sessions on 21/02/22. Playing on line is a bit different to the real thing, some things you can do and some you can’t. One thing you can do on line is ask for an “Undo”. Playing the wrong card at the table just can’t be undone.

This deal provided the players with a bit of a chuckle.
