The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Only four hundred players will be able to participate in the Ilkley week-end but there are several ways in which every one of our mem­ bers can associate themselves with the effort. On the 8th of September a Simultaneous Pairs Tournament will be held. It is hoped that at least one thousand tables will compete. If your club has not already arranged to hold a heat of this event, urge them to do so. The entrance fee is a modest five shillings. The results will be match-pointed over the whole field, a mammoth task but one which will give added interest to the results. The prize list is large and attractive. Full details may be obtained from the Hon. Tournament Secretary, Major G. Fell, Hob Hill, Steeton, Keighley, Yorkshire. Many counties are staging special events in aid of the fund. London made a magnificent start when they raised the sum of £1,250 from a one-day event. This sort of effort is unlikely to be reproduced. The greatest satisfaction, however, would be to see everybody joining in, no matter how small their contribution. There may be those of you who are unable to take part in any of the events. The chairman, R. F. Corwen, 28 St. Paul's Street, Leeds I, would be happy to receive and acknowledge any direct contributions, however small. Help us to lend a hand to the under-privileged children. - 2 REPORT FROM THE BRITISH BRIDGE LEAGUE The joint · report of Sir John Foster, Q.C., M.P., and General Lord Bourne, G.C.B., K.B.E., C.M.G., to certain allegations of cheating at the World Championships at Buenos Aires in 1965 made against Terence Reese and Boris Schapiro was received by the Council of the British Bridge League on Tuesday, August 9th. After full discussion of the arguments and recommen­ dations of Sir John Foster and General Lord Bourne the finding in their report that Reese and Schapiro were not guilty of cheating was accepted. A copy of the report will be sent to the World Bridge Federation. The Council wishes to express its sincere thanks to Sir John Foster and to General Lord Bourne for having conducted the inquiry as a public duty and without fee and to the assessors and to all witnesses who voluntarily attended to give evidence in the inquiry.

Acol, with a strong No Trump., 16-17 throughout. Old-fashioned though this may appear, we have never found it a hindrance ; on the contrary it simplifies certain problems of the rebid which arise with the use of the weak No Trump. Most notable of these is the problem of the balanced 16-point hand. After a response at the one level such a hand is not value for a rebid of Two No Trumps and the rebid of One No Trump therefore covers a range of 13 (some­ times 12) to 16. Balanced hands with 9 points opposite 16 are consequently often played short of game by players of considerable experience. THE SHARPLES TWO CLUBS. Before the days of the Landy and Astro conventions, designed to facilitate competitive bidding against the weak No Trump, we devised a very simple Two Club or Two Diamond informatory double which has proved very effective over the years. Our object was to devise as simple a convention as possible which would enable us to get into the auction on hands of fair distri­ bution and limited high card strength so as to offset the pre-emptive effect of the weak No Trump. When opponent opens with a weak No Trump an overcall of Two Clubs is an unspecified shape which can be passed with a five card club suit and no four card major. It will normally hold a spade suit of at least four cards for the sake of safety. An overcall of Two Diamonds is a weak distributional double which specifically denies interest in clubs. The likely hand patterns are 4-4-4-1 or 5-4-3-1 and, occasionally, 5-4-2-2. The main interest is in the major suits and partner should therefore endeavour to show a suit. Should partner respond with a bid of Two No Trumps, that is forcing either to game or to the four level in a minor suit. A Two No Trump rebid by the hand which made the Two Club or Two Diamond overcall is also forcing, e.g : s. w. N. E. 1 N.T. 2 Cl. No 2H. No 2N.T. The bid of Two No Trumps shows a game-going two-suited hand which lacks the high card strength to warrant an immediate overcall of Two No Trumps. In the example the two suits are likely to be spades and one minor suit. If partner responds to a Two Club or Two Diamond conventional overcall with a jump bid, that is natural. A response of Three No Trumps would show a solid or near solid long minor suit. 4 After a weak No Trump the overcall of Two Clubs or Two Diamonds by a hand which has already passed is a natural bid : an informatory double replaces the conventional bid to show a weak distributional double with the main strength centred in the major suits. BIDDING MINOR SUIT SLAMS. In the absence of a specialised convention there is no safe way of reaching minor suit slams on a 4-4 fit after a No Trump opening. Some players solve the difficulty by the use of the Baron 1 N.T.- 2 N.T. convention. We prefer a simpler device. When the point count is known to be 31-32, insufficient for a No Trump slam, but offering the possibility of a slam if a 4-4 fit is found, we use a delayed jump in a minor to investigate a 4-4 minor suit fit. Thus : S. N. 1 N.T. 2 Cl. 2 Sp. 4 Cl. or D. If no 4-4 fit exists either partner can sign off in Four No Trumps. With four card minor fit the No Trump opener can raise to Five Clubs or Six Clubs or can bid Four Diamonds if that is his four card suit. We have avoided specialised conventions which may have a limited nuisance nlue if their use obstructs normal system bidding. In our experience matches are won by the team making fewer bidding errors and it has always been our endeavour to be more accurate than our opponents, to concentrate therefore on constructive bidding rather than on obstructive. RESPONSES TO TWO BIDS. After an extended period of trial we have adopted the following amended Responses to Two Bids. Over opening bids of Two Diamonds and Two Hearts the negative response is Herbert (next higher ranking suit) rather than Two No Trumps. The response or rebid of Two No Trumps is used to show the next ranking suit to that opened. Thus a response of Two No Trumps to an opening bid of Two Hearts would show a spade suit. In the sequence s. N. 2H. 2Sp. 2N.T. South shows six hearts and four spades, whilst 2 H. 2 Sp. 3 Sp. would show six hearts and five spades. These sequences keep the bidding at a lower level and cater for awkward 5-4 patterns, making it possible to play them at the three level, both suits having been bid. 5 AMENDED RESPONSES TO TWO CLUB BIDS. A positive bid is given on : (1) An ace and a king. (2) 8 or 9 high card points including one ace or two kings. (3) Distributional hands of 6-7 points which contain a good major of at least five cards, e.g: + J 10 \) K Q 9 x x x () x -' x x. Respond Two Hearts. GRADUATED RESPONSES TO FOUR NO TRUMP BID BY THE TWO CLUB OPENER now show the number of controls, as follows: After Positive After Negative 5 Cl. One King No Kings 5 D.

  • Giorgio Belladonna
    Giorgio Belladonna Giorgio Belladonna (1923-1995) of Rome, Italy, was a public official and brid- ge professional with a long-running column in a leading Italian daily news-paper. In his youth, Belladonna was a useful footballer but it was bridge which was to be his great love and at which he was to become one of the all-time greats. A leading theoretician, Belladonna was the principle inventor of the Roman Club system of bidding and, with Benito Garozzo, created Super Precision, a complex strong club based method. Belladonna was the number one ranked player in the world for many years according to the WBF's masterpoint scheme and for many years would also have won a sizable number of votes from his peers as being the best player in the world. Certainly, he was regarded as being the best technical player a- round. I can also speak from personal experience in saying that he was one of the nicest players in top class bridge. The story of Giorgio Belladonna is really the story of a very great team, the Italian Blue Team. There have been other powerful teams in the history of bridge but the Blue Team were, without question, the finest team the world has yet seen and their achievements are without parallel. The Blue Team consisted of eight very fine players : Eugenio Chiaradia, Guglielmo Siniscalco, Mimmo D'Alelio, Walter Avarelli, Camillo Pabis-Ticci, Giorgio Belladonna, and Pietro Forquet and Benito Garozzo, who are also to be found in this volume. As important as the players was the non-playing captain, Carlo Alberto Perroux.

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.

  • Blue Club System
    Blue Club System The book Blue Club was written by Mr. Benito Garozzo in 1969, and the co-author was Mr. Leon Yallouze. This book was adapted from the French by Mr. Terence Reese and the Introduction was written by Mr. Omar Sharif. The book was published in 1969. This book is now out of print. The Blue Club system is derived from the Neopolitan Club system devised by Mr. Eugenio Chiaradia, also of Italy, but who spent many years from 1964 on in Brazil. During the 1950s, the Blue Team of Italy was formed. Bidding systems were not governed completely during that time, as they are today by ACBL and the WBF. Even today some restrictions applied by the ACBL are not restricted by the WBF. For example, Forcing Pass bidding systems are forbidden by ACBL at ACBL-sanctioned tournaments, but not by the WBF. Striving towards a unified agreement is a continuing process, made difficult by the many partnership agreements within the bridge community. The Blue Team developed a bidding system using a combination of the Neapolitan and Roman bidding systems. Combining the most favorable features of both bidding systems resulted in the formation of the Blue Club bidding system. The main proponents of this bidding system were Mr. Walter Avarelli, Mr. Benito Garozzo, Mr. Pietro Forquet, Mr. Massimo D'Alelio, and Mr. Giorgio Belladonna. They had great success at the bridge tournaments using the Blue Club System. A version of the Blue Club written by Mr. Alex Knox, called the Calgary Casual Style, is contained in the following .pdf file, and, if clicked, will be automatically downloaded to your computer and opened with Adobe Acrobat Reader.

After 11 rounds, Denmark held down first place, nearly a match clear of second place. Denmark started the day with a loss to Australia,51-44, but the team rallied for the win against China.Their Victory Point total is 228. Charlotte Koch-Palmund is the player who has been taken ill. She has had some problems for the last eighteen months and felt unwell on Monday. Following consultation with her doctor at home it was decided that she should be examined at the local hospital here in Bermuda. She is most unlikely to take part in any of Denmarks match- es over the next few days.We all wish her a speedy recovery. USA 1, holding down second place with 205 VPs, defeated Argentina, 39-27, but lost to New Zealand, 49-9. USA 2, with 204 VPs, won both matches Tuesday, 87-17 against New Denmarks Charlotte Koch-Palmund Zealand and 42-23 against Bermuda. They were tied with Austria, which also totaled 204 VPs after losing to Canada and defeating The Netherlands.

  • Let's Have a Party!
    Co-ordinator: Jean Paul Meyer Editor: Mark Horton Issue: 1 Ass. Editors: Brent Manley, Brian Senior Layout Editor: Stelios Hatzidakis Sunday 27, August 2000 Let’s have a party! It was a magical evening – figuratively and literal- ly – as the 11th World Teams Bridge Olympiad cel- ebrated opening night in spectacular fashion at the Theater aan het Vrijthof in Maastricht city center. "Let's have a party!" cried magician Richard Ross as he stood on stage with WBF President José Damiani and Deputy Prime Minister An- nemarie Jorritsma-Lebbink, both covered in streamers and confetti, the climax of a celebra- tion witnessed by hundreds of competitors and throngs of organizers. Ross had opened the evening in disguise as part of a skit which ended with the WBF flag in posi- tion at the back of the stage. Ross followed Harry van de Peppel, chairman of the Dutch organizing committee, and displayed his sleight-of-hand magic - including several card tricks – between each of the opening-night speakers. As Damiani took the podium near the end, he remarked about Ross: "I definitely refuse to play rubber bridge with that guy." Damiani noted that the Olympiad was played 20 years ago in Limburg, the Dutch province of which Maastricht is the capital. In fact, two of the competitors at Valkenburg in 1980 will compete again in Maastricht: the Netherlands' Anton Maas, who earned a bronze medal, and France's Paul Chemla, who won the gold. "The history of bridge is being rewritten," Damiani said, reading a letter from Juan Antonio Samaranch, president of the Inter- national Olympic Committee.
