Today:
* 12:30 Open Pairs
The masterpoint awards for these games have been really good. Worth a visit!
If you need a partner, I can always get you into the game with a standby
player. If you have an "out of town" friend, let me know ahead of time.
Best regards,
Mojo

We have two great games on Saturday, plus the 9:30 mini lesson:
* 9:30 mini lesson (see below for Zoom link)
* 10:00 0-500 Pairs
* 12:30 Open Pairs
These are Educational Foundation games, paying double points, and
benefiting the ACBL Educational Foundation.
For the mini lesson, I'm pivoting to defender play this week. I'll start
with a couple of Saturdays on "leads against notrump contracts" and I
think tomorrow's lesson will be satisfied with "leading partner's suit."
A worthy topic!
Here's the Zoom link for the lesson:
