Most of the best bridge players in North America (and from around the world) will be making their way to San Diego on Thursday (Thanksgiving day) for the Fall NABC!    I'm very much looking forward to seeing my friends and playing some great bridge... 

I'm playing the first 6 days with one of my good friends in the bridge world -- Garth Yettick.   We are playing the LM Pairs, 2-Day BAM, and the Mini-Blue Ribbon Pairs.   After that I'm playing some KOs for the last 4 days (looking forward to that as well... )

After finishing up in Lancaster and Daytona, I had some much needed time at home with my friends and family.   Thanks to everyone for all the help during a long month -- I really appreciate it....  

Two Things to remember from recent tournaments
-- First, you can win 3 IMP when you decline a Grand Slam Try holding AKQJx of trump by going down 1 in 6S, while the opponents go down two in 7S... (Lancaster)
-- Second, an opening lead can cost you 30 IMPs and you can still win a 12 board match against a very good team! (Daytona)

For Details you'll have to see my next article in the SBN!
