We had a small turnout today for both the Advanced beginner and Beginner sessions. Only 5 people for the adv beginner lesson and only 3 tables for the beginner pupil game. In the Advanced beginner lesson we introduced bidding in the balancing seat. In the beginner lesson. we discussed rebidding when looking for a major fit after an open of one of a minor. I will be out next week, but Suzanne will be here to give a beginner lesson. There will be NO ADVANCED BEGINNER LESSON NEXT WEEK. I will be back the following week.

We had only three tables in a Howell Movement which left us with a final round where all three tables had to share the same set of three boards. Thank all of you for bearing with us.

Bill S and Phil S won today with a nice 60% and John B and Colette S came in second with 55%. See you in two weeks! ---Carl

Thursday Open Game 22 August 2024

We had another fun 6-1/2 table Howell movement today. Congrats to Joyce/Carl for first in A, Andi/Judy for first in B and Nancy & Nancy for first in the C strat.

Nest week's lesson is on Lebensohl. This is a difficult convention to learn, but it pays big dividends and has multiple uses in your bidding. Please let me know if you have ant conventions or lessons which you would like me to review.
