Online bridge is still flourishing during lockdown. It is still providing a real alternative to the normal face to face game. RealBridge is now being used for an increasing number of competitions. It is proving more versatile than BBO especially when running teams events. Other bridge groups have been developing their on-line bridge. Dowker Lane Bridge Club. Now has six tables per week, playing on a Tuesday at 2pm. Casual bridge is played on BBO. South Lakes U3A are now running a duplicate pairs tournament, on BBO. The next tournament is planned for 12th February 2021. 5 WBL February Newsletter 1st February 2021 February Schedule Teams and Pairs Leagues The next schedule of the Leagues will start on Monday 1st February. The schedule will run from 1st February through to 14th March. The WTL (Teams) will consist of fourteen teams in three divisions.

The bottom team in divisions 1 and 2 have been relegated to the division below. The WPL (Pairs) will consist of seven divisions. Divisions 1, 2, 6, and 7 will have eight pairs, divisions 3, 4 and 5 will have seven pairs. 6 WBL February Newsletter 1st February 2021 Teams Events Cumbria Inter-Club Teams of Eight We have successfully completed the first three rounds of The Inter-Club Teams of Eight competition, which includes teams from Arnside, Barrow, Carlisle, Grange, Kendal, Keswick, West Coast, and Windermere.

From Ken Orford Being Competitive by Ken Orford A couple of months ago there was an incident in a WPL match that triggered a whole chain of thoughts that I’d like to share with you. In the match I made a misleading bid – I mislead my partner probably more than anyone. I won’t go into details, but 6 Hearts was the right contract. I bid it and my partner, because of the misunderstanding converted it to 6 Spades. At this point I realised the error and decided that 7 Hearts one off was a better score than 6 Spades several off. So I bid it. During the play, one of the defenders, confused by dummy and the odd bidding, made a mistake and the contract made. At the end of the match we had a “chat” discussion about the hand and the result was I offered to, and was happy to contact Mike and get a judgement. I subsequently sent an email to Mike, which I copied it to the other three players, with screenshots of the board, the bidding and the chat. One of our opponents replied to the email, thanking me for a good summary of the situation. I replied saying it wasn’t a problem and that “it’s not like we’re playing for the world cup”. I was then (quite rightly) firmly put into my box, with a comment that it was about “fairness” not about winning. Of course, I agreed and apologised. In the end the board was ruled in our favour, but what struck me later was my offhand comment. It got me thinking. I have always been a competitive person – ridiculously so. Whether it was playing cricket, board games (another passion), skiing, cycling, or any other sport/pastime I’ve taken up in my three score years and ten, I like to do well. And I like to win. What does winning and doing well actually mean? When I was fourteen or fifteen, I was at my local youth club – remember those? A guy I knew vaguely (he was a year older than me and went to a different school), asked if I wanted a game of table tennis. I was okay at table tennis but 8 WBL February Newsletter 1st February 2021 nothing special. However, I was having a good day and it was a really good game. When it got to 17-17 I noticed there were quite a few people watching, but I didn’t think much of it. I was a bit annoyed when I lost 21-19. But then people started congratulating me – apparently my opponent hadn’t been beaten for two years and I gave him a real scare. So I went from being disappointed to have lost, to quite pleased with myself (it was a fluke – he’d have clobbered me any other time). So it’s not the winning that makes you feel good – it’s how well you’ve competed. I could beat my four year old grandson at just about anything – except maybe dinosaur identification. But I wouldn’t feel good about it. So it is with Bridge (no I haven’t taught my four year old grandson – yet). Back in the day (mid 70s) I was lucky enough to play against Omar Sharif at a convention. I think we got a couple of averages – and I’ll take that any day. So it’s the same playing at Kendal. There are some people we’re happy to get an average against, not mentioning names Mike and Sally-Ann, because they’re better players than us. And coming 3rd or 4th is satisfying – of course we aspire to win, but we’re realistic. We know there
