16th March– Board 24. Love All. Dealer West.
Bridge is such a wonderful
game because sometimes there is no answer no matter how good you are. You could
be a World Champion and still come unstuck on the featured hand.

In
most parts of the world where they play a strong no-trump throughout, East
would open just that, West would bid Stayman, East would deny and West would
bid game. And East would go down! Despite the combined point count game is not
a good bet but everyone would reach it. (Actually those saucy enough to play a
mini no-trump would play in game from the West side and would make it easily as
a club is just about the last suit North would lead.) I also see that 4H can be
made, although you would have to be dead clever to do that.
