Even though the number of tables in the Intermediate/Novice area was small because of the holiday, there were still 20 new players, all with fewer than five masterpoints, playing bridge instead of eat- ing turkey. The I/N program has been immensely successful all week -- large crowds, fine lectures, excellent hos- pitality provided by the Boston hosts. Word about the lectures has got around so that many advanced players are dropping by before they go on to the higher-rated games. The lecturer with the biggest turnout of the week to date is Eddie Kantar.
