Edmonton’s mayor Bill Smith welcomed players to “The greatest city in the greatest country on the planet.” He might have added “to the greatest bridge event.” We certainly found that it was a great week. Kismet Fung with her volunteers and Bob Christie with his newsletter all set standards that will challenge other cities in future years. Thanks also to the Edmonton Bridge Centre and its manager Matthew Greenways for making their wonderful facility avail- able to the organizing committee and the participants of Bridge Week. Talk about exciting bridge! The CNTC open event winners had a margin of 14 IMPs. The CWTC winners had a margin of 4 IMPs. The COPC winners’ margin was 7 match- points. Whew! Only the CNTC B event was a landslide victory. Every winner is a wor- thy champion. I wish that more Canadian bridge players could and would participate in the exciting competition of Bridge Week. The annual general meeting was worthwhile, lively, and produced several good sugges- tions on ways to improve our championship events.

IN SALT LAKE CITY Salt Lake City Diary By Keith Balcombe The World Bridge Federation (WBF) sponsored an attraction event (Grand Prix) just prior to the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympic Games in order to pro- mote bridge as a mind sport to the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The WBF hopes for the inclusion of bridge as a sport in the Winter 2006 Olympics in Torino, Italy. Men’s, Women’s, and Junior events were showcased to convince the IOC, mostly non-bridge players, that this type of event is popular and that it reflects the Olympic spirit. Officials from the WBF hope to show the IOC that bridge can fill the vacant time slot between the daytime outdoor events and the evening ice events. As a result of these issues, this event had some very strict guidelines about a variety of aspects of Olympic life. These included restrictions about complicated bid- ding systems, behaviour, dress code, random drug test- ing and the overall high level of security. After a day or two, the players and other participants became used to Keith Balcombe (top) and Gordon Campbell these ways of life in Salt Lake City. The Canadian Women in Salt Lake City (Pictured above: Beverly Kraft, Dianna Gordon, Linda Lee (NPC), Katie Thorpe, Judith Gartaganis, Gloria Silverman, Francine Cimon) placed 8th in the Round Robin, not high enough to make it into the knockout stages.

  • Bridge Bidding Systems for Finding Major Suit Fits Pete Matthews – December 27, 2010
    Bridge Bidding Systems for Finding Major Suit Fits Pete Matthews – December 27, 2010 This article outlines and compares bridge bidding systems for finding both 4-4 and 5-3 major suit fits, when the opening bid is one of a minor suit. Short club systems attempt to locate the fits at the one level. Fourth bid systems are the more usual approach – the search begins in earnest with responder's second bid. Finally, I conclude with comparisons of features and methods. A. Short Club Systems The systems in this part take advantage of the extra bidding space when 1♣ is opened. When playing them, it makes sense to require a four or five card suit to open 1♦, to increase the frequency and value of the 1♣ opening. Because these systems do not operate over other openings, 1♦ in particular, you will need other methods for those cases. 1. Montreal Relay The basic Montreal Relay system attempts to find both 4-4 and 5-3 major suit fits at the one level. The 1♥ or 1♠ opening promises a suit of at least 5 cards. The 1♦ opening guarantees four cards (some play five), so 1♣ becomes a catch-all opening bid. Over 1♣, a response of 1♥ or 1♠ promises five cards. A 1♦ response may be used with natural diamonds, but opener assumes this is a waiting bid with one or both 4-card majors. Opener must rebid a 4-card major (1♥ with both) over the 1♦ response. The full system includes invitational suit bids at the 2-level and forcing suit bids at the 3-level, all showing major suits.
