ABTA Provides the Answers – February 2026
Two questions from the closing stages of the Bridge Great Britain Gold Cup.
Grand Life Master Patty Tucker was inducted into the ACBL’s Hall of Fame in 2019. For the last several decades she has devoted more time to teaching and developing material for students, experiencing a deep satisfaction in sharing with others her love for the game of bridge. Here she answers reader’s questions.
Dubious Decision
Dealer North. All Vul. IMPs.
When North passed, an opening bid of 3♦ would surely have seen West jump to 7♦. When East elected to pass, South opened 2♠. Can you suggest a route to one of the making grand slams (even 7 Hearts will succeed)?
