OK, Guv. It’s a fair cop. I admit it. I’ve been feeling a squidgen smug of late. I’ve been playing rather well — even though I say so myself. My team has been successful. We have prospered. I smiled sympathetically when others told me their tales of woe, thinking, ‘That used to be me.’ I felt confident.
And then I went to Manchester for the second weekend of the Premier League.And I played on vugraph. And I took NO tricks. And I made a right freaking IDIOT of myself. And I HATE this game!
Cover up the E/W hands and do better than me on this one:
My 1NT showed 15–17 and West’s overcall promised a major, usually a six card suit.
