For many years he has been planning to assemble an in-depth study of all known card play techniques and their classification. The only thing he lacked was time for the project; now, having recently retired, he has accom- plished his ambitious task. It has been my privilege to follow its progress and watch the book take shape. A book such as this should not to be put into a beginner’s hands, but it should become a well-thumbed reference source for all players who want to improve their game.

(This will also . K Q 10 work if West has the singleton A!) We had a slight misunderstanding here. My partner thought my 3 bid denied four spades – and I thought her 4 bid did the same, while virtually guaranteeing five diamonds. I thought I was too strong to jump to 4. I would have done that with an ace less, taking the slight risk that partner might not have four spades (but hey, that’s why people pre-empt!) Anyway 6 was easy and a clear second for us. Congratulations to Keith and Helen Foreman, the only pair to reach 6! This one is also mostly about the bidding, but with a small technical point in the play: Dealer East K West North East South None vul K 5 4 No 1 7 2 No 2.
