Ask Richard

Years ago when my wife Mabel was teaching bridge, a student would sometimes ask her how to play a difficult contract. She would study the hands, consider inferences from the bidding, and offer advice like, “Win the opening lead, cash the ace of trumps, and … Ask Richard!” Fond memories of the good times.
