  • Squeeze Plays
    The Squeeze Play By James R. Klein **** The most fascinating of all advanced plays in bridge is undoubtedly the squeeze play. Since the origin of bridge, the ability to execute the squeeze play has been one of the many distinguishing marks of the expert player. What is more important is the expert's ability to recognize that a squeeze exists and therefore make all the necessary steps to prepare for it. Often during the course of play the beginner as well as the advanced player has executed a squeeze merely because it was automatic. The play of a long suit with defender holding all the essential cards will accomplish this. The purpose of the squeeze play is quite simple. It is to create an extra winner with a card lower than the defender holds by compelling the latter to discard it to protect a vital card in another suit. While the execution of the squeeze play at times may seem complex, the average player may learn a great deal by studying certain principles that are governed by it. 1. It is important to determine which of the defenders holds the vital cards. This may be accomplished in many ways; for example, by adverse bidding, by a revealing opening lead, by discards and signals but most often by the actual fall of the cards. This is particularly true when one of the defenders fails to follow suit on the first or second trick. 2. It is important after the opening lead is made to count the sure tricks before playing to the first trick.

  • Autumn 2015 Words from the Editor You Are Probably Aware That, in Addition to the HQ Staff at Aylesbury, the EBU Is Run by a Number of Volunteers
    The newsletter of the London Metropolitan Bridge Association Autumn 2015 Words from the Editor You are probably aware that, in addition to the HQ staff at Aylesbury, the EBU is run by a number of volunteers. There is a Board of Directors and three Standing Committees – the Tournament Committee, the Laws & Ethics Committee and the Selection Committee – almost all of whom are currently elected by the shareholders, who in turn represent each of the counties that form the union. The Board does also have some appointees filling specific roles. This arrangement is long-established but somewhat unwieldy and the Board has recently come up with proposals to reform the Standing Committees, changing them all to sub-committees of the board (there are other existing sub-committees such as the Editorial Board for English Bridge) and reducing the number of people on each. The Board would then make appointments to the various committees, encouraging suitable people to put themselves forward for this. These proposals were aired at the Shareholders’ Meeting in May. The general feeling was that the Tournament Committee, was more or less redundant, as the Aylesbury staff do all the day-to-day running of tournaments very efficiently. There is an ongoing need to review the overall strategy for tournaments, but this could readily be done by a small sub-committee or working group. With regard to the Laws and Ethics Committee, there was a further proposal to split it into two. The new L&E sub-committee would be a regulatory body only, dealing with licensed systems, alerting rules etc, and there would be a separate Disciplinary Panel to act as the judiciary, dealing with matters of discipline.

In the past, three- way matches were used to reduce the field to a work- able number (a power of 2). There are inherent flaws in three-way matches. The new method utilizes head- to-head matches all the way. Yesterday there were 97 teams entered in the event. The #1 seed, the Nickell team, was given a bye. Then 15 groups of four teams were set up. Two teams in each four-team group played head-to-head for 32 boards. The winners automatically qualified for the second round and had the evening off. The losers in Longtime friends (from left) Tarek Radjef, Charles Weed each group played a 32-board match against each and John Fisher are here at the Kansas City NABC. other, with the winner advancing and the loser elimi- nated.

  • Russians and Poles Victorious in Vanderbilt
    March 15-March 25, 2001 Kansas City, Missouri 44th Spring North American Bridge Championships Vol. 44, No. 10 Sunday, March 25, 2001 Editors: Henry Francis and Jody Latham Russians and Poles victorious in Vanderbilt The four-man team captained by Andrew Gromov of Russia outscored the George Rosenkranz team 55- 20 in the second quarter of the Vanderbilt to take a lead they would not relinquish. The final tally: Gromov 150, Rosenkranz 119. Gromov played with Aleksander Petrunin and Pol- ish champions Cezary Balicki and Adam Zmudzinski. Their opponents were Rosenkranz, Sam Lev, John Mohan and Polish champions Piotr Gawrys and Jacek Pszczola. The Vanderbilt was a replay of the Open Board-a- Match Teams at the 2000 Fall NABC in Birmingham where Gromov & Co. won the event – less than a board ahead of Rosenkranz, Lev, Mohan, Gawrys, Pszczola and Eddie Wold. This was the second North American champion- ship for the Russians and the third for the Poles, who won the Spingold in 1997. The Poles, both Grand Mas- ters in the World Bridge Federation, have an impres- sive record in international competition: first in the Transnational Teams in Bermuda in 2000, second in the World Team Olympiad in the Netherlands, also in Vanderbilt winners: Adam Zmudzinski, Andrew Gromov, Cezary Balicki and Aleksander Petrunin 2000, a second and a third in the Bermuda Bowl, a sec- ond in the Rosenblum Teams and a third in the World Open Pairs.
