This article is by Meg Jones, the youngest player in a competition where the age range is 68 years. Truly bridge is a game for all ages and generations:
The Cretan Congress
Here in Crete having lazy mornings, in the sun, by the pool reading my books and swimming. Followed by a Greek tapas lunch and then off to have fun playing bridge.
Friday saw us on a day long trip to the Knossos Place and fabulous tour round the Heraklion Archaeological Museum.
After the coach ride home, we were all a little tired as we went into play the Pivot teams. A fun event which throws up some interesting pairings. So maybe these factors contributed to the way this hand was bid.
As a young director this is an interesting hand: here 2C is not a legal opening as it does not comply with the interpretation of “Strong opening bids”.
16HCP or 13+HCP in 10 cards in 2 suits.
