Bridge | 27 September 2012

I read recently that bridge today is 70 per cent bidding, 20 per cent defence and 10 per cent play, and if the first weekend of this year’s Premier League is anything to go by that would about sum it up. Most IMPs went out of the window with bidding misunderstandings leading good pairs into the wrong contact, or, through sloppy or unlucky defences, contracts being let through.
