We are lucky enough to have two real experts to be providing lectures this week.

Jade Barrett is well known as a player, teacher and theoretician. It might be less well known that his 'Team Havoc' T-shirts helped fund the junior bridge program for many years. He will be talking on Monday at noon.

Barbara Seagram of Toronto had the distinction of running one of the largest bridge clubs in the world and of co-authoring two of the most popular bridge books ever. Her books on useful conventions have out-sold just about every other bridge book. She will present a hands-on seminar on ‘Common Errors of Bidding and Play’ on Tuesday at 4:30. She will run a set of pre-dealt hands with discussions after each. Everyone is welcome; the Bermuda Bridge Club will be selling Barbara’s books following the seminar.

You can be sure that you will learn, and be amused.

Visit the National Museum of Bermuda

The National Museum of Bermuda (incorporating the Maritime Museum) is located at the western end of the island in the fortifications that surround the old Royal Naval Dockyard, built as a strategic outpost for the British military after the loss of what became the United States of America in 1783.

The jewel of the Museum, aside from its magnificent setting surrounded by the sea on three sides, is the restored Commissioner’s House, which prominently rises above the fortifications of the Keep, the largest fort in Bermuda. There are many exhibits to view, including the recently completed 1,000-square foot mural by Bermudian artist, Graham Foster, on 500 years of the human history of Bermuda.

The Museum is open every day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Bermuda prides itself on its courtesy – remember to say “ PLEASE … and Director PLEASE”. You’ll get a far more favourable response!

DEALS FROM THE 2000

Today’s deals from the 2000 Bermuda diamonds to the ace for a trump return Bowl, held here exactly ten years ago, both Smederevac played low and then repeated feature manipulation of the small cards. the trump . The 3-1 trump split Sometimes the opportunity arises to finesse meant that she had only six trump tricks, the smallest of spot cards; on the deal that and thus needed both the ace of hearts follows Jovanka Smederevac of Austria had onside, plus something nice from the clubs; to make the play for at least two reasons but her gut reaction was that West had five other than simply to make her contract. diamonds, and thus only two clubs. The first was that she had to justify her Accordingly she led a low club to the eight, rather sporting bidding somehow, and the nine and jack. She then won the heart second was that her partner was the return in dummy with the king of hearts, redoubtable Maria Erhart, not known as the cashed the king of clubs, and finessed the most tolerant player in the world if her seven of clubs.

When the Polish other room. declarer Michael Kwiecien played 3NT from the South seat he received a low spade lead round to his queen. That gave him one quick trick, but he could see that he would need to run the clubs to make his contract. PUZZLE CORNER While the finesse is clearly the indicated play, there is still more than one way to play the suit. The natural play seems to be to run the ten of clubs, and to play the suit from the top thereafter if that card is covered by the queen, but Michael saw a little more deeply into the position than that. The point is that the only distributions on which 3NT comes home are where the club queen is onside, and since Michael knew he could not see

through the backs of the cards, he was never going to negotiate a 4-1 split onside by finessing the nine on the second round. The one distribution he could cope with was to find a singleton queen onside -- that How should you play would not jeopardize any other making lie 5 of the cards.

The relevant doubleton to take account of is the doubleton queen onside, with East. You can negotiate that for two losers by leading to the jack first of all, which makes it the best play.
