  • Four Card Majors: Western Natural Updated
    Foreword It is easy to dismiss Marvin French as a crank or a curmudgeon or as the contrarian that he certainly was but this does not do justice to the man’s life. Marvin was Life Master 10231 achieving the rank in 1956, “when it was hard” as he liked to say. This was not a boast, just a fact not well understood by many who started playing later, particularly after the great masterpoint inflation that kicked off shortly into the new millennium. Marvin was a force on the west coast bridge scene. Local San Diego Diamond LM, Anne Terry, never one to withhold an opinion positive or negative, called Marvin the “best of the best.” D22 Director, Ken Monzingo said, “Like him or not, he was a unique man. A leader, not a follower. A brilliant man of honesty and integrity.” Marvin made significant contributions to bridge literature and less known contributions to bidding theory. He was a contributor to Bridge World, Popular Bridge (published in the 1960s and 1970s), and the D22 Contract Bridge Forum, and editor for the latter prior to Joel Hoersch. For many years Marvin maintained his own website where he posted his writings on bridge, blackjack, and literature. His 90 page Squeeze Refresher (For Good Players) is undoubtedly the best reference that is available for free. Sometime in 2011 I got to know Marvin better because we started exchanging e-mail on various bridge topics in part because I had been reading his website and had taken some interest in his discussion of four card vs.
