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.

Introduction The late Bjarne Kroepelien was a great collector of books and other printed material from the Polynesia, and specifically the Tahiti. Kroepelien stayed at Tahiti for about a year in 1918 and 1919. He was married there with a Tahitian woman. He was also adopted as a son of the chief in Papenoo, Teriieroo, and given his name. During his stay at Tahiti, the island was hit by the Spanish flu and about forty percent of the inhabitants lost their lives, among them his dear wife. Kroepelien organised the health services of the victims and the burials of the deceased, he was afterwards decorated with the French Order of Merit. He went back to Norway, but his heart was lost to Tahiti, but he chose never to return to his lost paradise, and he never remarried.

  • 2008 IBPA Awards
    IBPA Awards 2008 Beijing, China 2008 IBPA Awards Page 1 of 11 IBPA Awards 2008 Beijing, China The IBPA Personality of the Year Antoine Bernheim, president of the Generali Group, has been selected as the International Bridge Press Association’s Personality of the Year. Generali is a longtime supporter of the WBF and the IBPA. Bernheim is shown playing at the World Championships in Estoril, Portugal. This year both the IBPA and the WBF are celebrating 50 years of existence. Your Executive decided to honour as its Personality of the Year someone who represents the commercial sponsors who have most supported bridge in general, and IBPA in particular, over many years. For IBPA, in our early years, that would have been BOLS, but in the later years one company stands out, namely, Generali. In the days when I was your Editor, Generali frequently supported IBPA with full page advertisements. When we produced our last Handbook in 2002, Generali paid for the postage to members, and they have made a similar offer this year. In bridge, generally you all know of Generali’s support for both the WBF and EBL. The most obvious here in Beijing was the Generali World Masters Individual. The one individual who has represented Generali over the years is its President, Antoine Bernheim of Italy. Sadly, Mr. Bernheim cannot be present to accept the Award so we have asked someone who is a good friend of Mr. Bernheim to accept the Award on his behalf. I refer to the President of the World Bridge Federation, Mr Damiani.
