Our intrepid analyst, John Koch, delivers the goods on how to tackle troublesome trumps.
Meanwhile, I and a number of other Minnesotans take on the rest of the world at the Fall Nationals in San Francisco.
Wish us luck - and heed John's advice! He knows how to deal with trouble!
Do you know what a Lightner Double is? If not, John Koch will enlighten you.
See below - and enjoy as a prelude to your Thanksgiving festivities!
If you have never attended a national tournament, it's not too late to do it this fall! Trundle on over to San Francisco, where our 2007 Fall Nationals are being held. A great place for competing against the best players in the world - and fine dining, too.
Should you not be able to make it to the west coast - then consider traveling instead to Maplewood! Unit 103 is hosting a fine Holiday Sectional the second week in December. Here's the schedule and venue for those who would prefer bridge over the mall!
The Minnesota Sectional: more shots of our competitors!
Get out your sunglasses!
John Koch presents us with a hand today where the defense dazzles. See below how both partners Do The Right Thing to defeat a tough contract!
If you'd like to see them - here they are!
A couple of KO winners - and a load of folks having a great time!
It's just a day away now!
Here's the schedule for this competitive weekend.
For those who are all set - see you there.

Can you have too much of a good thing at the bridge table? Too many points? Too many trump?
John Koch explains - and you can be the judge.
Paul Soloway never lived in Minnesota. Nevertheless, his accomplishments dazzled all of us here - and around the world.
This great of the bridge world will be missed.

UPDATED: A very nice article about Soloway from Sunday's New York Times.
Today, we had the pleasure of changing every watch, clock, computer, VCR, programmed coffee maker and the like, to conform with the cessation of daylight savings time. Winter cannot be far away!
And though some may think it "jumping the gun" to contemplate spring . . . . Trust me; it is closer than you may realize!
For those who do like to plan ahead, please see below the schedule for our Minnesota Regional at the end of May 2008. This regional will be the first in a long time that is sponsored by all of Minnesota; both Units 103 and 178 are in charge of this tournament.
Patti Stuhlman is the chairperson of the regional. Patti is a master at planning, and she has a cast of people working diligently to bring you the best tournament Minnesota has ever seen!
So - take a gander at all the excellent events: KO teams, pairs, Swiss, I/N games and more - and then mark your schedules!
Springing ahead and May are closer than you think!
Bridge in the Twin Cities is receiving a big boost!
