Hi, ,


We are very happy to welcome guest teacher, Suzanne Anisfeld for this week's bridge video!


This given hand shows the power of the FSF (fourth suit forcing) auction between North and South. Once North opens the bidding with the lovely 5-5 shape (Five, five, come alive!), South almost immediately knows at least game is on but using the FSF tool helps North realise that his partner has opening strength and will not stop before game is reached.
