From the four phases of playing a bridge hand to some expert advice on bidding, this Cheat Sheet helps you get started with playing bridge and then refine your game to increase your chances of winning. Each hand of bridge is divided into four phases, which always occur in the same order: dealing, bidding for tricks, playing the hand, and scoring. Someone anyone shuffles the deck, and then each player takes one card and places it face-up on the table. The player with Bridge for Complete Beginners highest card is the dealer. He shuffles the cards and hands them to the player to his right, who cuts them and returns them to the dealer. In this phase, players bid for the number of tricks they think they can take. Because each player has 13 cards, 13 tricks must be fought over and won in each hand. The bidding starts with the dealer and moves to his left in a clockwise rotation. The least you can bid is for seven tricks, and the maximum you can bid is for all The player who buys the contract, determined by the bidding, is called the declarer. The declarer is the one who will play the hand. The player seated to the left of the declarer puts down the first card face up in the Bridge for Complete Beginners of the table; this Bridge for Complete Beginners the opening lead. The play moves clockwise. The next player, the dummy, places her cards face-up on the table in four vertical rows, one row for each suit, and completely bows out of the action. In other words, only three people are playing. Once the lead is on the table, the declarer plays any card from dummy in the suit that was led; third hand does the same, and fourth hand, the Bridge for Complete Beginners, also does the same. Whoever has played the highest card in the suit wins the trick and leads any card in any suit desired to the next trick. The same process goes on for all 13 tricks. The rule is you have to follow suit if you have a card in the suit that has been led. After 13 tricks have been played, each team counts up the number of tricks it has won. You then Bridge for Complete Beginners the score. The deal moves in a clockwise manner; the player to the left of the person who has dealt the previous hand deals the next one.

  • Four Card Majors: Western Natural Updated
    Foreword It is easy to dismiss Marvin French as a crank or a curmudgeon or as the contrarian that he certainly was but this does not do justice to the man’s life. Marvin was Life Master 10231 achieving the rank in 1956, “when it was hard” as he liked to say. This was not a boast, just a fact not well understood by many who started playing later, particularly after the great masterpoint inflation that kicked off shortly into the new millennium. Marvin was a force on the west coast bridge scene. Local San Diego Diamond LM, Anne Terry, never one to withhold an opinion positive or negative, called Marvin the “best of the best.” D22 Director, Ken Monzingo said, “Like him or not, he was a unique man. A leader, not a follower. A brilliant man of honesty and integrity.” Marvin made significant contributions to bridge literature and less known contributions to bidding theory. He was a contributor to Bridge World, Popular Bridge (published in the 1960s and 1970s), and the D22 Contract Bridge Forum, and editor for the latter prior to Joel Hoersch. For many years Marvin maintained his own website where he posted his writings on bridge, blackjack, and literature. His 90 page Squeeze Refresher (For Good Players) is undoubtedly the best reference that is available for free. Sometime in 2011 I got to know Marvin better because we started exchanging e-mail on various bridge topics in part because I had been reading his website and had taken some interest in his discussion of four card vs.

  • 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.

If we look back over all those years, we can measure the progress that has been achieved. The EBL started with 8 countries and has grown to 46 affi liated NBOs today. The championships were initiated with some national Open teams and subsequently have been extended to include a Womens and then a Seniors Series. Bridge for youth has been widely developed and includes now four Series together with mixed pairs. The Open Championships, available to anybody, as this year in Montecatini, encompasses 8 different competitions, and allows players from all over the world to participate in our EBL event. It has been possible to achieve this, step by step through these 70 years, thanks to enlightened leadership and loyal committed staff whose abilities and accomplishments continue to grow.

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.
