One important thing to keep in mind is that this is a competitive adventure.....as opposed to the social outing that you may be used to at your rubber bridge games. Now that is not to say that you can=t be sociable at the duplicate table. Of course you can.....and should.....just don=t carry it to extreme by talking during the auction or play.

  • Your Editor Asked Me to Pen a Few Words About the Seniors Congress
    Your editor asked me to pen a few words about the Seniors Congress at elegant Eastbourne, but time has rolled on through the Riviera Congress at touristy Torquay and the annual week long jamboree that is the EBU Congress in bizarre Brighton. (Please bear in mind that I am not a sun seeker and Gayle and I treat these trips as part of our holidays, but taken in small doses.) We have been playing at these events for some years, and have built up a goodly number of friends and / or teammates with whom it is fun to play, dine and drink. As to the bridge, it really is another world away from club bridge, despite there being the usual 52 cards. Would you double this hand for a Spade lead? North 86 AK7 AJT85 QJ8 AQT4 73 T54 Q963 Q762 94 64 KT732 KJ952 J82 K3 A95 North /South have 27 points – bid to 3NT , but West doubled the contract for a Spade lead. How was West able to tell East that he wanted a Spade lead? West did this because their system allowed them to use a double to call for a lead of the last suit bid by North/South. This happened to be Spades! So how do you make 3NT*, for a top or are you 1 down for a bottom. What’s the fun if we get beaten up like the above hand? We get the chance to play against top players, including England’s World and European champion ladies, and European champion Seniors men, together with a host of other professionals who earn their living from bridge.

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.
