:)am familliar with 2/1, but know sayc better. I consider myself at about intermediate level. Interested in tournament play, am not acbl mbr. Like to win, but bridge is fun. Please, amiability important, willingness to communicate and listen to each other's viewpoints, willing to seek compatibility and spend some time to work out areas of disagreement, and focus more on agreement. Partnerships are always a 2-way street; everyone is prone to mistakes. A good place to find agreement would be for each party to listen to same teacher on bbo. :)
