Regular challenge reissued, since I can, during my temporary free month premium membership. I may or may not complete it myself, though if everyone else posts that they have finished it I’ll go ahead and finish so that I can issue a JD

I’ve played all the boards. Complete with some brain farts. Twice failing to win a trick, 4th to play to the trick, because I was “sure” third hand was going to win it, and I didn’t notice that he hadn’t. One cost a game that I had played very well to make, had I just one the trick.
