On this gloriously beautiful spring day, we only had 2 tables in our pupil game. I guess the rest of you were either out of town or wanted to enjoy the wonderful weather. The lesson was on Jacoby 2NT as a continuation of responding to first seat open of a major. Next week, we will review all of the responses to an open of one of a major.
The winners today were Melissa and Dianne at 58.33% with Wynne and Betty coming in second at 52.78%.
I hope we get more people next week! --Carl
