Lessons in Bridge Playing from a Vexed Hand

Toothbrush habits and tips from a bygone era

The piece discusses daily toothbrush use, suggesting after meal brushing, pocket foldable brushes, and storage in offices. It advises replacing brushes every few weeks, keeping them dry, and avoiding worn or rejuvenated bristles, with a nod to dental health and fruit like apples for children after meals.

Weak takeout double leads to shifting spade and club battles

In a bridge hand North opens with a takeout double of spades and South must bid despite weak penalties. West overcalls with a takeout diamond, showing his other major.

The excerpt notes North overstepped with a raise to clubs and misread partner alignment, risking a poor outcome as the hand unfolds.
