How to Play Like an Expert
(without having to be one)

Goal:  Have fun exploring ideas from Colchamiro’s book.  Everyone can learn expert techniques if they are shown the way in simple language they can understand.  This is taken from the introduction to Mel Colchamiro’s book whose title is given above.  Mel’s book is a big winner.  At the table I back my judgment with his simple quantitative rules a couple of times each session.

Topics: When to  DONT  or  CAPPELLETTI  over their 1NT? When to balance against their strong NT?  When to invite after partner’s opening weak two bid?  How high to compete alone with partner silent? When to leave-in partner’s take-out double? When to open with a distributional two-suiter?  Mel’s rule of 23 for match point doubles.

When/Where:
