Free subscriptions to our eMagazine newsletter are available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On our upcoming series of Newcomer-Novice newsletter articles, we will explore the exciting world of transportation – at least at the Bridge table.\u00a0 Being blocked, stranded, stymied, stuck, snookered, obstructed or whatever you choose to call it, the result can be a bewildering moment.<\/p>\n

The same can be true for our poor declarer, wanting to play a card from the other hand, typically the dummy yet lacking an entry card to long lonely suit.<\/p>\n

Come to think about it, leading from the top of a sequence serves the same purpose, promoting a long suit. Enter the world of Bridge transportation – having the ability to play up to a winner in your partner’s hand.\u00a0 Of course, there’s always more to an iceberg than meets the eye so expect some twists and turns for the defenders, too.<\/p>\n
