The Wednesday Game (which later became known as the Post Mortem) operated from 2006 through to the end of 2012, sending out common hands to over 100 bridge clubs (mostly in the USA and Canada), and providing post-game online analysis of the hands.  Over that time we provided Hand Analyses for over 300 games.  It's been a lot of work, but we've  greatly enjoyed it and hope that you have found this free service both entertaining and helpful.  Now the time has come to discontinue the service, at least for the time being, to consider other options.

Special Games:  If your Club or Unit or District would benefit from Hand Analyses for its special events (such as STAC games or Sectionals), please contact us to see if we can make arrangements.

On-Line Tuition:  We now offer expert tuition through on-line playing lessons.

The Post Mortem Archives:  Even though the regular production of new Post Mortem games is on furlough, you can still access a huge wealth of material from the games of the past several years.  The interesting hands have been categorized by topic (see below).
