I hope you are enjoying Bernard Magee Bridge.
Welcome to the month of October, or as we like to call it here at Bernard Magee Bridge, GREED-OBER. Once again we focus on the game of duplicate pairs. We will be covering this through your new topic Defence at Pairs and will be discussing this topic throughout October.
Please do email any example hands – Bernard likes to have hands from real games to demonstrate his ideas.________________________________________________________________________________________________
