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. -

En Hjälpande Hand
HISTORIA EN HJÄLPANDE HAND En hjälpande hand TEXT: ANDERS WIRGREN, LIMHAMN ILLUSTRATIONER: ARNE LARSSON, SUNDSVALL Under en lång, lång följd av år, trodde jag att det italienska Blå laget, som dominerade världsbridgen mellan 1957 och 1976, var överlägsna och att amerikanarna protesterade för att de inte vann. Det tror jag inte längre, skriver Anders Wirgren och förklarar varför i denna artikel. Tänk dig att du har den här handen, när MTH (motståndaren till höger) öppnar budgivningen med 1s. s 8 7 3 K D kn 4 2 E kn 8 5 c D 6 3 Det är fyrmanna och ingen sida är i zonen. Vad bjuder du? Det här var förstås alldeles för lätt. Klart du dubblar. En nybörjare, som aldrig hört talas om att man kan dubb- la för att be partnern välja trumffärg och nivå, skulle kanske passa, men ingen annan. Varenda bridgespelare, och då menar jag varenda en, skulle dubbla. Nu är det inte riskfritt att lägga sig i budgivningen när motståndarna Tydlig markering. öppnat.
