HI Bobby,

Once again the need for homework (e.g. East dropping H8 from J8x under the HK at pairs) is clear. Lockdown and isolation are depressing but this is the opportunity for study which will pay off when some sort of normal existence returns.

Keep well!

Hi Iain,

My guess of what percentage the whole wide world’s supply of people who play bridge, might understand the reason for the defensive heart falsecard, especially the small percentage who play in tournaments (or, used to, as you describe, before the pandemic) would be about: 0.0001% with, even that, being a slight overbid.

However, hooray for still doing so.
