Hi Dear Mr Wolff
Truly a wonderful and elegant defense. And why she did not double

Something was bothering me after I posted the above. I realised that I should have added ” Knowing that she can defend very well” before ” why she did not double ”

Bravo!

In fact, at risk of revealing my naval connections, “Bravo Zulu”!

Hi AVRR, Jim2, & Iain,

The only reality I might choose for posterity, is that this
hand could only be improved by me, being the unfortunate declarer. However, with that fact NOT being the gospel, I take off my hat to her, even though, at this hour of my life, I have no hair to show for it.

Thanks to all others, besides myself, who more than just appreciates, his or her, better half!

Hi Bobby, Judy,

Just to say all the best to you both for many more happy years of playing and company. It has been a pleasure and privilege meeting you (albeit remotely) via this site and I’m sure i speak for everybody here.

Regards,

Iain

I sure hope Our Host continues to read and engage us here!

I echo the sentiments expressed by lain and Jim2. It indeed has been a pleasure to get acquainted with Bobby’s column and his way of presentation encouraging comments and his response. I wish Bobby continues to offer his comments though not as a host at least occasionally if not every day.
And as per a quote , ” Age is only a matter of Mind. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter”
All the best to Bobby and Judy
Best regards

Hi AVRR, Jim2 & Iain ,

Continuing on with AVRR’s last sentence, but just knowing the average positive of all minds present, not even a gold mine could glisten or glitter, brighter. To quote Bob Hope, “Thanks for the memories” and yes I am planning to even go so far as to overstay my welcome,
you three ALSO, but never (even if nirvana calls) leave. And to Barry, “Listen to them, with their built in talent, they will continue to surprise you”, but don’t be miffed if Jim 2 ever makes his 80% contract since he, in spite of playing double dummy, never taking the wrong view, but still always fails.
