Bridge | 11 July 2019

All high-level bridge tournaments involve playing with screens placed diagonally across the table — and there are numerous rules to remember. For instance, only North or South may slide the bidding tray under the screen, only declarer or dummy may remove the tray after the bidding, only declarer or dummy may lift the screen’s flap… It’s easy to slip up, but until a few years ago people were pretty relaxed about it.
