Partner chose to show a michaels two suiter. My four clubs over the three spade raise of intervenor, showed 4+4+ClubsDiamonds and 13+ points. When they subsided in 4S I bid one for the road, still not knowing my partner's minor but knowing he would convert. They chose to double and when the smoke cleared, I had twelve tricks, all on distribution, on paltry values.
Contract bridge hands, play, defense, book reviews, bidding and partnership strategies from praxis at advanced level.

Welcome to Ramesh's BRIDGE BLOG
In these pages, I comment on hands from Bridge Base Online ACBL tourneys. I play in these with a variety of partners with different degrees of skill. I might present a hand or two from my collection of bridge books, every now and then. I am more interested in play and defense than in complex bidding systems, but I do follow the cut and thrust of Vanderbilt and World Championship Vugraph and try to keep abreast of expert practice in the obstructive and constructive bidding system department. I may also feature, newspaper-style, famous hands from important matches that I saw on Vugraph.
NOTE: For JUNE, I am experimenting with adding BBO's Handviewers, which make bridge movies embedded. Just
scroll down beyond the few sampled book covers and you arrive at the blogs that play themselves with the NEXT button. THANKS, BBO!!
