    Bridge Bidding - Standard American Yellow Card Nicolae Sfetcu Published by Nicolae Sfetcu Second Edition Copyright 2014 Nicolae Sfetcu PREVIEW Contract Bridge Game type: trick-taking game Players: 4 Skills required: Memory, tactics, probability, communication Cards: 52 Deck: French Play: Clockwise Card rank: (highest to lowest) A K Q J 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 Playing time: WBF tournament games = 7.5 minutes per deal Random chance: Low to moderate depending on variant played Related games: Whist, Auction bridge Contract bridge, usually known simply as bridge, is a trick-taking card game using a standard deck of 52 playing cards played by four players in two competing partnerships with partners sitting opposite each other around a small table. For purposes of scoring and reference, each player is identified by one of the points of the compass and thus North and South play against East and West. The game consists of several deals each progressing through four phases: dealing the cards, the auction (also referred to as bidding), playing the hand, and scoring the results. Dealing the cards and scoring the results are procedural activities while the auction and playing the hand are the two actively competitive phases of the game. Dealing: Partnerships are self-determined or by a cut of the cards, the two highest cut playing against the two lowest; the first dealer is the player cutting the highest card. Cards are dealt clockwise, one at a time and face down starting on the dealer's left so that each player receives thirteen cards. In duplicate bridge the dealer is predetermined by the board; the board also contains the four hands which have been dealt and placed in the board prior to commencement of the game.

  • Congratulations to Antonio Sementa of Italy, Benédicte Cronier of France
    Congratulations to Antonio Sementa of Italy, Benédicte Cronier of France, and Miltos Karamanlis of Greece who are, respectively, the new Generali Masters champions in the WBF events for Men, Women and Juniors. It must have been highly popular with the local supporters in Athens that the winner of the first Junior event was Greek. There is a report inside but the stories of good play in the Daily Bulletin were almost non-existent. More came from a two-session Pairs event in the Poland Seniors Congress than from ten sessions of a gathering of the world’s best players. One might use the excuse of unfamiliar system or partnerships to explain the many reports of mishaps in bidding and defence, but what about declarer play? Most journalists prefer to report good play, rather than the all-too-common mistakes. If so, they will have difficulty finding stories to use when referring to the championships. * * * * * * * * * * The top players have had a busy time recently, dashing from the US Nationals or EBL Mixed in Italy to the Cap Gemini in the Netherlands, a short break, and then a run of the Generali in Athens, the Politiken in Denmark and the Niklas Data in Stockholm (report next month on the latter). They will be grateful to have some time at home. What happens in reality, of course, is that they pick and choose which is convenient to play in. For the journalists this has the advantage of a variety of fields, but it is a struggle for the organisers who seek the strongest list of names.
