DO Work on your concentration. To play effectively, you have to stay on top of what’s going on, whether you are declarer or a defender. I can tell you from experience that it’s disconcerting in the extreme to realize after a trick has been played that I didn’t see all the cards. Did partner discard on that trick? What card did declarer play? Of all the mistakes I make, lapses of concentration are the most annoying. What can be done to improve concentration? Start with finding a partner who is not inclined to point out your errors and criticize your decisions. If you are thinking about what your partner just said and deciding whether the comments were justified, your mind won’t be on the task at hand. That could be making your contract, deciding whether to try for overtricks or figuring out how to defeat the DON’T zeros in the row. That was difficult for me to take opponents’ contract (or prevent overtricks). Try to make up for a disaster with a bid or play and, with more such actions by him, our partnership Even if you find a calm, supportive partner, guided by your emotions. If you play bridge long dissolved sooner rather than later. there are still lurking dangers. One of them is an enough, you will suffer some disasters.

On deal and another bad board is likely. The same can action that usually produced another disaster. the first board of the second half, Bob and Bobby be said for good results. If you are congratulating I recall an occasion when the opponents bid doubled a beatable 4♠ contract and let it make, yourself for a clever falsecard that earned your side and made a slam that no one in his right mind increasing the deficit. At that point, Bob asked the a top, you aren’t in the moment. would even consider. Thanks to an incredibly lucky reader, “So what do we do now?” The answer: “Go Nothing can change what happened. You must lie of the cards for them, the slam rolled home and on to the next board, that’s what.” forget about boards that have been played so that we had an obvious zero. The board was history and neither player gave you can focus on what’s happening now. On the next board, my furious partner made a it another thought as they went on to win the match crazy bid that resulted in minus 1100. In his attempt despite the bad result. I have never forgotten that to make up for the slam disaster, we now had two advice. I urge you to take it to heart.

The championships in Wroclaw, Poland, two months ago present a case in point “The atmosphere in Wroclaw was completely different from Chennai,” he said, “and there were no problems.
