QUESTION AND ANSWER FORUM
Life Master and an international player of repute, Mr P.Sridhar, has kindly consented to answer questions related to Bridge. A questioner can pose a bidding problem that he faced, or a problem that he encountered in any card play / defense situation, a partnership issue that the player wishes to sort out , any point of ethics , etc
If anyone wants to ask questions but does not want his/her name to be published , Ok. No objection. Multiple questions from one questioner are also welcome.
Moderator's answer will be published here and also will be sent to the questioner by E Mail (if given) .We state that the question and answer will be published in this page of our website for all to read and no confidentiality is offered.
The life Master states that he is offering his views only in the capacity of an experienced player and that his views are in no way the final word in the subject since he does not profess to be the absolute Authority on the game of bridge.
We, Editor & publisher of this website, thank the Life Master for his accepting our request to help the advancing player to become an expert. We request questioners not to try to prove a point or try to malign any other player by inciting the life Master to criticize the player's action/play etc.
