English champion Helen Erichsen joins us to talk about the essential questions to ask a new partner, the ways in which bridge is good for the soul, and how bridge plays a starring role in her latest whodunnit, Murder By Natural Causes. Plus, she shares her top tip for developing players. But first, we kibitz!

Helen's favorite convention is Jacoby 2NT. Curious to try it? Watch Peter Hollands' introduction to Jacoby 2NT at BridgeWithPete.
