  • Autumn 2015 Words from the Editor You Are Probably Aware That, in Addition to the HQ Staff at Aylesbury, the EBU Is Run by a Number of Volunteers
    The newsletter of the London Metropolitan Bridge Association Autumn 2015 Words from the Editor You are probably aware that, in addition to the HQ staff at Aylesbury, the EBU is run by a number of volunteers. There is a Board of Directors and three Standing Committees – the Tournament Committee, the Laws & Ethics Committee and the Selection Committee – almost all of whom are currently elected by the shareholders, who in turn represent each of the counties that form the union. The Board does also have some appointees filling specific roles. This arrangement is long-established but somewhat unwieldy and the Board has recently come up with proposals to reform the Standing Committees, changing them all to sub-committees of the board (there are other existing sub-committees such as the Editorial Board for English Bridge) and reducing the number of people on each. The Board would then make appointments to the various committees, encouraging suitable people to put themselves forward for this. These proposals were aired at the Shareholders’ Meeting in May. The general feeling was that the Tournament Committee, was more or less redundant, as the Aylesbury staff do all the day-to-day running of tournaments very efficiently. There is an ongoing need to review the overall strategy for tournaments, but this could readily be done by a small sub-committee or working group. With regard to the Laws and Ethics Committee, there was a further proposal to split it into two. The new L&E sub-committee would be a regulatory body only, dealing with licensed systems, alerting rules etc, and there would be a separate Disciplinary Panel to act as the judiciary, dealing with matters of discipline.

For many years he has been planning to assemble an in-depth study of all known card play techniques and their classification. The only thing he lacked was time for the project; now, having recently retired, he has accom- plished his ambitious task. It has been my privilege to follow its progress and watch the book take shape. A book such as this should not to be put into a beginner’s hands, but it should become a well-thumbed reference source for all players who want to improve their game.

  • Major Suit Game Tries and Raises at Bridge Pete Matthews, Jr
    Major Suit Game Tries and Raises at Bridge Pete Matthews, Jr. – http://3nt.xyz – © February 9, 2019 This article started as a fine plan for game tries that proved to be out of date. It then morphed into a comprehensive draft for both game tries and raises of major suit openings, detailing plans that were too complicated for most of us to actually play. Finally, we have a solid, playable plan, presented here in less than half the article. In a case of the tail wagging the dog, the Appendix and the rest of the main text cover alternative methods, tests of game try methods, and related major suit raise situations – in less detail than the foregoing. A discussion of the earlier plan leads to the new plan, which is: jump to game with a good game try, and with a lesser hand, minimize damaging information given to the opponents. For this plan to work well, we need a revamped system of raises, so that the strength of the simple raise is well defined. To some extent, responder makes (or refuses) the game try before opener gets a chance to make one. All recommended methods are acceptable under the ACBL Basic Convention Chart, which both permits any jump response to be a raise of any strength, and permits the 1NT Forcing response.
