It’s that time of year again — summer and its attendant holidays. No bridge for me for a month, unless you count the odd tournament online or playing my favourite computer programme, Bridge Baron. I love the Baron, not only for the squillions of hands it throws up but also because you can play a hand any amount of times and if your finesses fail you can go back and try again!
Today’s hand is one of those that looks relatively easy but I tried a dozen or more times and always went down. Then I gave it to Hoffer, the mighty Viking, who came up with a plan: [see image].
They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
