An Ode to Deciding Which Card to Lead

When dummy is to your right, lead the weakest suit in sight,

When dummy is to your left, lead through heft,

Don't be cute - lead partner's suit

You will lose face if you underlead an Ace,

♠   ♣ 

If that’s how she treats her partner …
If that’s how she treats her partner …
There are only 3 reasons not to lead partner's suit . . .

1.  you don't hold any cards in their suit

2.  you have a fabulous suit of your own

3.  you don't want to partner them next week!

♠   ♣ 

“Finesse” is defined as a refined gesture, subtlety in problem solving etc. If you don’t understand that, under no circumstances attempt to have it explained by a bridge player
Tudor's Students Need Our Help

For several years Tudor has been a teaching club.  Whilst you may have thought teaching this highly complicated game would offer huge challenges, the teaching team have found that helping the students migrate from classroom to club room is the biggest challenge of all.  Over the years we have offered an endless variety of forms of support, but keep coming back to the need to support them, at face to face games, in the most realistic setting possible.  To that end, Nigel would like to host a face to face session on Monday 17th February, in our usual venue between 2.30 and 5 - and he is looking for a few more experienced players to attend to make up the numbers a little.

Would you be free and interested in supporting this endeavour on that day?  If so please fill in the form below and hit 'send'.  Nigel will then collate all the responses and let you know if he needs you to attend or not.  This will be a non chargeable session. 

Birthday Competition/Peter Willougby Cup
Birthday Competition/Peter Willougby Cup

Your committee have decided to take the 2025 Birthday Competition online.  When we have played this competition in years gone by we have had a few birthday cakes too!  So this year we won't be able to do that - nothing to stop you from having a cake though, whilst you play in this competition on BBO.  And don't forget, there is a piece of silverware to be picked up too - the Peter Willoughby Cup.  In all other respects this will be a normal Tuesday evening pairs game.

 

The pic top left shows the Peter Willoughby cup in all its glory (it's one of the largest pieces of silverware Tudor has to award) and the pic bottom right shows a photo of the great man himself next to the cup.

Good luck all.
