CHICAGO 1933 &VlZ%z Copyright, 1933 by Albert Whitman & Co. Printed in U. S. A. ©CIA 67155 NOV 15 1933 PREFACE THE authors of this digest of the generally accepted methods of Contract Bridge have made an exhaustive study of the Approach- Forcing, the Official, and the One-Over-One Systems, and recog¬ nize many of the sound principles advanced by their proponents. While the Approach-Forcing contains some of the principles of the One-Over-One, it differs in many ways with the method known strictly as the One-Over-One, as advanced by Messrs. Sims, Reith or Mrs, Kerwin. We feel that many of the millions of players who have adopted the Approach-Forcing method as advanced by Mr. and Mrs. Culbertson may be prone to change their bidding methods and strategy to conform with the new One-Over-One idea which is being fused with that system, as they will find that, by the proper application of the original Approach- Forcing System, that method of Contract will be entirely satisfactory. We believe that the One-Over-One, by Mr. Sims and adopted by Mrs.

  • History of the Modern Point Count System in Large Part from Frank Hacker’S Article from Table Talk in January 2013
    History of the Modern Point Count System In large part from Frank Hacker’s article from Table Talk in January 2013 Contract bridge (as opposed to auction bridge) was invented in the late 1920s. During the first 40 years of contract bridge: Ely Culbertson (1891 – 1955) and Charles Goren (1901 -1991) were the major contributors to hand evaluation. It’s of interest to note that Culbertson died in Brattleboro, Vermont. Ely Culbertson did not use points to evaluate hands. Instead he used honor tricks. Goren and Culbertson overlapped somewhat. Charles Goren popularized the point count with his 1949 book “Point Count Bidding in Contract Bridge.” This book sold 3 million copies and went through 12 reprintings in its first 5 years. Charles Goren does not deserve the credit for introducing or developing the point count. Bryant McCampbell introduced the 4-3-2-1 point count in 1915, not for auction bridge, but for auction pitch. Bryant McCampbell was also an expert on auction bridge and he published a book on auction bridge in 1916. This book is still in print and available from Amazon. Bryant Mc Campbell was only 50 years old when he died at 103 East Eighty-fourth Street in NY City on May 6 1927 after an illness of more than two years. He was born on January 2, 1877 in St Louis? to Amos Goodwin Mc Campbell and Sarah Leavelle Bryant. He leaves a wife, Irene Johnson Gibson of Little Rock, Ark. They were married on October 16, 1915. Bryant was a retired Textile Goods Merchant and was in business with his younger brother, Leavelle who was born on May 28, 1879.

  • SLIDE 1 I Want to Tell You About the Card Game Called Bridge
    SLIDE 1 I want to tell you about the card game called bridge – it’s a really awesome game that in the past hundred years has overtaken all the other card games in the world to be the most popular and widespread and challenging of all. The same game in played all over the world – and without being able to understand a word spoken by any of the other players – I could turn up in China and play bridge. All over the world we have the same game, the same rules. The game is normally played face-to-face but online capabilities for playing bridge have been around for most of 30 years and in the past month have become more popular than ever before. The largest offering is Bridge Base Online (BBO) which has been offering free bridge to players all over the world for most of 20 years. You need to find it on the internet (here it is), and create an account for yourself. The number of users is unknown but recently evenings have shown over 54000 online and playing at the same time. There are others too, such as FUNBRIDGE where you play against robots throughout – it’s got some good features, but I’ll just show BBO pictures at this time. SLIDE 2 The game is played by four players with a standard pack of 52 cards – 13 cards in each suit with the ace the highest, then the king, queen, jack, ten and on down to the two as the lowest. The cards are shuffled and dealt out so that each player has random 13 cards.
