Congratulations to Alan Timmis and Peter Phillips who were the only pair to bid and make the “optimal” contact of 4 Hearts on board seven on Thursday evening. With a combined point count of 22 points and disruptive bidding from their opponents, they still managed to get to 4 Hearts. It then required a difficult playing strategy, involving cross-ruffing, beautifully executed by Alan, to bring home the contract. And who was on the receiving end of this Bridge brilliance? Yes, you’ve guessed it! I recommend a look at Board 7 to see if you can figure out the bidding and play. All the best. Andy
