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.

    PROMOTING the GAME of BRIDGE in SOUTH AFRICA THE BRIDGE Edition 13 Publisher: The S A B F December 2020 www.sabf.co.za Special Year-End Edition Ed.: Stephen Rosenberg [email protected] FROM THE PRESIDENT This year has been a very hard and sad year for our community. Many of us have lost family or friends, not always as a result of COVID-19, and our hearts go out to them and their families. And still this accursed plague hangs over us. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. With the announcement of the development of successful vaccines and their distribution in Europe and America over the coming James Grant months we will surely see a reduction in and eventually the eradication of this pandemic. The next few months are going to be the most trying for us, because we are letting our guard down not only as individuals but as a society. We have grown tired of the sanctions imposed on us and are now taking more risks. We are travelling more, we are visiting friends and families. Fewer people are wearing masks in public places, social distancing is no longer the norm, and we have convinced ourselves that perhaps after all we are immune to this infection. We only have to follow what is now happening in Europe to see the folly in this outlook. Personally, I would like to think that COVID-19 has forced us re-evaluate what is really important in our lives and those around us and that when we finally emerge from this trauma that has paralysed us as individuals and as a nation we will do so as a society kinder and less selfish than before, if only for a little time.

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.

    SANYA CHINA 10TH 25TH OCTOBER 2014 Coordinator: Jean-Paul Meyer • Editors: Mark Horton, Brent Manley DAILY BULLETIN Co-Editors: Micke Melander, Barry Rigal, David Stern Lay-Out Editor: Monica Kummel • Photos: Francesca Canali, Anna Gudge Issue No. 1 Saturday, 11th October 2014 BRIDGE GETS A WINNING HAND WBF President Emeritus José Damiani (left) and WBF President Gianarrigo Rona (right) with Zeng Peiyan, president of the WBF Congress. Zeng accepted a special award for Jiang Zemin, former president of China and a supporter of bridge. Boosted by the power of new sponsors and the players’ enduring enthusiasm for their game, the 14th Red Bull World Bridge Series got off to a rousing start that culminated with the presentation of a major award. Just after WBF President Gianarrigo Rona presented a special medallion to Zeng Peiyan, president of the WBF Congress, Rona was joined on stage by President Emeritus José Damiani. The two WBF executives then revealed a large crystal trophy awarded to Jiang Zemin, former president of the People’s Republic of China and a strong advocate for bridge. Jiang was not present, but Rona said the award – for the most important living bridge personality – was presented in 1989 to Deng Xiaoping, the leader of China from 1978 to 1992, when he retired. He died in 1997. Deng promoted bridge in China and was known to play enthusiastically. ... continued on page 3 Watching bridge in Sanya Today’s Schedule If you want to watch the bridge play during the 14th Red Bull World Mixed Teams Qualification Bridge Series, here’s how you do it on OurGame: 10:00 - 11:00 Go to the website and follow the instructions: 11:20 - 12:20 http://ourbridge.ourgame.com/ 12:40 - 13:40 The main site will be set to jump to the second 14:40 - 15:40 website: 16:00 - 17:00 http://ourbridge.ourgame.com/flash/loading.swf Requirements: Adobe flash plugin.

  • European Open Teams Most Wins by Players 30 03 10
    The 50th anniversary edition of the European Bridge Teams Championships will be held in Kursaal, Ostend, Belgium, from 22 June to 3 July 2010. The Championships comprise three series - for Open, Women and Senior national teams. Anniversary festivities also are included in the programme. In the previous edition of the Championships, held in Pau, France, 2008, a new format was introduced in the Open series: teams were split in two groups and played a round robin within each group; the top teams then joined in a second round robin from which the new European Champions emerged. In 2008, each qualifying team met again in the second round robin with the teams it had met in the qualifying round, and the result of the first match did no longer matter. This year, this will not happen. Qualified teams will carry over to the second round robin the entire result of their qualifying matches, and these matches will not be played again. Accordingly, the duration of the Championships will be reduced by three days, allowing it to start on Tuesday instead of the usual Saturday.
