Mad Bart was most known for his "bidding habits"; Big 7 was reknowned for winning those everelusive beer cards, no matter how remote the chance; Sewcraits, although bearded heavily, played with the wisdom of saints (i.e. the force) on his side; Boo was a mysteriously quiet, but quite fine Bridge player, but some have said that he's just a giant chicken that wears a UWBC TShirt.

A low spade to the K got
him back to hand, after which he attacked
clubs by leading the
10,
which held, and followed with a small club
to pull West's
K.
The Mad One then shifted to the
Q to establish
his eleventh trick when Boo won the
A.
Boo led the 9 to set up his
8 and Mad Bart paused for thought.
He eyes bugged out because he saw that the count
was rectified (whatever that meant). He won
the
J pitching a diamond
from dummy and cashed two of dummy's good clubs Boo parting with
a heart, South pitching a diamond and Sewcraits giving up two hearts.
This was the position with dummy to lead:
When Mad Bart cashed dummy's final club, Boo painlessly pecked out
a heart, the mad one let a diamond go, but Sewcraits could not part
with a heart, and so wisely reduced himself to 2 diamonds. Mad Bart
now led the ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Interestingly enough, if Boo had returned a heart instead of a spade, then Mad Bart could not have squeezed to make 6, and could only have made 11 tricks as the cards lay.
