 Sitouts Banned!
Bored 
We have done away with sit-outs, for once and for all. When we have a half-table in the game, we enter the computer as a participant in the game, in order to make a full table.

When it would otherwise be your turn to sit out, instead you play against the computer. Your score vs. the computer counts in the game. The computer is always disqualified, so it doesn't take away your masterpoints - in fact, the awards actually increase because the game is larger.

Everybody appreciates playing against "Ace O'Matic." In fact, some people are disappointed when we have full tables of "flesh & blood" players!
 Replay At Home

Halloween

How to Scare Your Partner!

We have a special Halloween Deal for you this week...

South Deals
N-S Vul

Lead: J

It looks best to establish the diamonds, but because of the lead, you cannot cash the top diamonds and then get back to your hand to run the suit.

 

What should you do?

Wednesday Game

This Wednesday, November 6, we have another special game on tap.

On the first Wednesday of each month, we run the "Wednesday Game." As usual, the boards are preduplicated, but after this game you will get expert analyses of the hands you have just played.

You can learn more about the game at: http://wednesdaygame.com/
The Answer

In the unusual approach shown here, you amaze (and probably scare) your partner by immediately playing the K and Q and discarding the A and K, eliminating the diamond blockage and making your nine tricks.

 

The Entire Deal:

 

You can follow the play with the Bridge Movie on our website.

I hope your Halloween was filled with lots of treats even more tricks!


Cheers,
