B. Gerrang (1942) F0HE%33D One day, four or five years ago, one of jay children asked ise something about the origin of our village and at the time I dicing know the answer. Upon making soae inquiries along this line I soon discovered that my generation knew very 3-ittJ.e indeed about its own local history. That fact induced jse finally to go to soaaewhat greater lengths to get the early 6tory of our coiasiun- ity down on paper - for already it was surprisingly difficult to collect the scattered details of nmes and dates* It is a&azing ho soon such facts slip away into the past and are forgotten. I have a feeling that written records of the doings of our families and neighbors will be priced by our descendants, perhaps, in years to coiae. This country will not always be young. Some day the smallest American village, like its counterpart in the Old rld, will bear a weight of centuries; its early names and events, all that dramatic story of its birth here in the virgin wilderness of a new Continent, will lie far back in the diin mists of the past and can not then be recalled, save as they are preserved in written form.

  • Benjaminised Acol
    BENJAMINISED ACOL Benjaminised Acol (named after Albert Benjamin), is a ‘weak-two’ approach to bidding. Normally the weak-two refers to a major, but it is becoming common to include a weak diamond suit. We shall adopt the traditional approach. Why Benji The ‘weak-two’ approach to bidding is popular for two main reasons. Firstly the frequency of hands is much greater than the traditional Acol strong 2 bid. Secondly, it follows the modern trend in bridge to be destructive rather than constructive – i.e. deny the opponents bidding space when they possibly hold the balance of points. However it still manages to retain the equivalent of the Acol strong 2 bids by a slightly roundabout way. Basic Bids 2♣ - strong single-suited hand, or 19-20 points, balanced. This means that a direct 2NT opening bid should be 21-22 points (see Note 1). 2♦ - strong (23+ points) balanced, or game forcing hand (same as Acol 2♣, but if single suited probably 9½ tricks) 2♥, 2♠ - weak 6 (or 7) card suit, 5 - 9 points non-vul, 6 - 10 points vul. Note 1 - many variations exist regarding the range of 2NT bid through 2♣, and a direct 2NT bid, but the ones given are fairly common. Note 2 – some players use ‘Reverse Benji’ which swaps the meanings of the 2♣ and 2♦ bids. Whilst this may seem easier to learn, it is technically less sound (see Appendix). 2♣ Opening Bid A strong single-suited hand (but may have a secondary four-card suit), or 19-20 points balanced. The strong single-suited hand is equivalent to a hand suitable for a two-level opening playing traditional Acol (including clubs – not directly available playing traditional Acol) i.e.

  • The Mind Sports Olympiad Has Come of Age. in Its Third Year, Staged
    The Mind Sports Olympiad has come of age. In its third year, staged at the appropriately-named Olympia Conference Centre in London, the main event for the bridge, the four-session Pairs championship, attracted a good quality field with players from a dozen nations. With £10,000 of prizes on offer the bookies were backing Paul Chemla of France & Zia Mahmood of the USA, or Ronnie Rubin of the USA & Matt Granovetter of Israel. In the event Espen Erichsen of Norway & Unal Durmus of London put together two big sets to be clear winners of the £3,000 prize ahead of Chemla & Zia. The teams was won by Andrew Robson’s team also containing Erichsen, who partnered David Bakhshi. Robson partnered Michael Courtney of Australia. All are London-based. The organisers, Mind Sports Organisation Worldwide, clearly have big money behind them, as the backers can have seen little change from half-a-million dollars over the 40 mindsports. The entrepreneurs behind MSOW are chess-players David Levy & Raymond Keene. Their first try, ten years ago, was a failure. Their second in 1997, at London’s Festival Hall, worked, but the bridge lacked credibility and clashed with Britain’s biggest Congress event, Brighton. Substantial money prizes for a low standard event with fewer entries than some club duplicates, had many bridge-players kicking themselves for not entering. The 1998 event clashed with Lille, but had approval from the English Bridge Union. Entries improved but were no more prestigious than a minor bridge Congress. This year, without any real backing from the EBU, the event became something of note.
