For many years he has been planning to assemble an in-depth study of all known card play techniques and their classification.

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.

  • 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.

My father taught me the first principles of this marvellous game when I was only 12 years old, and I have been playing and teaching bridge to others ever since. My main interest in life is music, but I find playing Contract Bridge a good diversion, which keeps my mind fresh and always interested in both fields. Learning to play bridge is in some ways very similar to learning music. It takes time to become fully familiar with all the cards (like the notes in music) and to recognise card patterns (such as K Q J 10 9, or A Q 10) like scales and arpeggios in music. 1 © 2012 Michael Furstner in music.
