This week's deal is our small tribute to Edgar Kaplan who passed away recently. It is a deal declared by Edgar in the American Team Trials for the 1968 Olympiad.

If you appreciate free online bridge services like the Deal of the Week and Online Vugraph, you can support our efforts by purchasing our software.

In order to view the Deal of the Week you need a Java compatible browser (such as Netscape Navigator 2.02 or higher or Microsoft's Internet Explorer 3.0). You also need 32-bit internet access, which generally means Windows 95 if you are using a PC.

It seems that several people have not read the instructions for this software and have become confused. If you do not want to read the instructions, here are two useful hints:

1. Use the Next button, not the Play button to go forward.
2. Look for thebutton in the lower right corner of the text area. When you see this symbol it means there is more text to read before you click the Next button. Click thebutton to display the next page of text.
