  • 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.
