Hi ,


You're in 3NT and things don't look like they should be too challenging at first. Can you spot how many players might still end up in trouble with this hand?


Dummy: ♠AK94 ♥J72 ♦765 ♣Q53


Declarer: ♠86 ♥KQ3 ♦KQJT94 ♣K9


How do you go about planning how to play a NT contract? India Natt (née Leeming) shows why the key is to count your winners so that you can pinpoint which suits could provide you with the other tricks you need!

It was nice hearing from many of you about some of the casual trick-taking games you have enjoyed with friends and family who don't yet play bridge. I'm especially excited to become more familiar with Oh, Hell!, Bid Whist, and Cat in the Box. I find few things as fun as the light-hearted fun tossing cards around the living room table with friends.


Thank you for your support!
