Editorial by Paul Bowyer
Welcome to the tenth issue of V-Blue, the e-magazine for those learning the wonderful game of bridge.
In this edition we are looking at bidding, specifically the dark arts of the competitive auction. When you open the bidding and an immediate overcall is Passed back to you what do you do? Soldier on regardless? Call it a day and Pass? Or is there a way of getting partner into the act? Anyway, as ever, VuBridge will be by your shoulder, helping and hinting and making sure you are on the right path.
When you have worked your way through these puzzles you may like to try the "General Series" of eight assorted hands. This time (for a change) there's a theme and that theme is first trick crisis. No more hints – you're on your own now. Some of these deals are easy; some are less so. That's as it should be of course - you don't want everything to be too simple, do you?
We also have a quiz for you to enjoy. Ten questions on re-opening the bidding with a Double. This fits in with our main twelve deals so some of you might like to start here. If so, that's up to you. Good hunting and good luck.
