This is a return to Budapest where the EBL had not organised any European Team Championships for 79 years. The Championships held in 1937, organised at that time by the International Bridge League, were won by Austria. Hungary won in the editions of 1934 in Vienna and in 1938 in Oslo. We are back in Budapest and I am confident that you will enjoy discovering this beautiful city with a lot of history, the banks of the Danube, the bustle of the city and its modern life and all that makes Budapest one of the most exciting capitals in Europe. It is a great pleasure to recognise the degree of participation in the Team Championships with 84 teams representing 38 countries. In addition this year, we have the return of the Women’s National Pairs for its 16th edition with the participation of 61 pairs coming from 22 countries. We are proud to welcome José Damiani and Gianarrigo Rona, EBL Emeritus Presidents and all the WBF Management Committee. I want to thank the Hungarian Authorities: Mr János Áder, Hungarian State President Mr György Kozmann, Assistant Secretary of State for Sports Mr István Tarlós, Mayor of the City of Budapest I would like to congratulate the Hungarian Bridge Federation, its President Géza Homonnay, all the Organising Committee led by Zsolt Szetei and my Colleague Josef Harsanyi, EBL EC Member who was born here in Budapest. My special thanks go to the EBL staff and the Hungarian volunteers who will work very hard during these 10 days with a genuine enthusiasm and dedication. Thank you also to the two main Hungarian sponsors: MOL and OTP Bank for their generous support. But I would mostly thank you, all the players. During these troubled times almost everywhere in Europe and even in the world, it gives you the opportunity to share the same values, the same sporting spirit, passion, enthusiasm, fair-play and re- spect. More than ever our moto “Bridge for peace” is appropriate. I hope these ten days will permit you to meet new people, to renew old friendship and live these Championships with a real passion. Enjoy your play and your stay in Budapest. I declare the 53rd European Bridge Team Cham- pionships officially open.

For many years he has been planning to assemble an in-depth study of all known card play techniques and their classification. The only thing he lacked was time for the project; now, having recently retired, he has accom- plished his ambitious task. It has been my privilege to follow its progress and watch the book take shape. A book such as this should not to be put into a beginner’s hands, but it should become a well-thumbed reference source for all players who want to improve their game.

  • 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.
