Merry Christmas! Warmest wishes to all who are opening gifts and celebrating the holiday.
Gifts come in all shapes and sizes. One of Minnesota's top players who has an amazing gift of talent is Kurt Schaeffer. I'm not certain if Kurt is the best declarer in the state or not. Yet I am sure, however, that he has few challengers for the title.
Here is an example of a hand that led to success only for Kurt.
As you enjoy your gifts, family, friends and good food, you can remain in awe as to Kurt's abilities opposite dummy!
I was also playing with my favorite partner and we got to 5S, out of the East; 1C by East, 1H overcall and a negative X by West since a bid of 1S here would show a 5+ card suit. We did not play it as well as you and went down 1.
