This is my last column before Christmas (I know… I’ll miss you too) and as 2018 rolls to an end the only tournament left for me to play is the Year End Congress in London. I could have gone to Hawaii to play the Reisinger, main event of the American Fall National, but it’s too far and I’m barely over the jet lag from Orlando.
I have been following proceedings on BBO, and checking out the many other functions on the site while I’m at it. Fred Gitelman, the founder-manager, wrote a blog for many years and it makes fascinating reading. He highly recommends Test Your Play as Declarer by Paul Lukacs and Jeff Rubens and if today’s hand is anything to go by I can’t wait to get it. If you want to see if you can find the best line to almost guarantee your slam, cover up the East/West cards before continuing.
