That didn’t faze Tournament Director Betty Bratcher, how- ever. “If you stay a little while, you can have complimentary entries to the 3 o’clock game,” she told them.

Each of the boys played a hand and made their contract for above-average results. And Dad went down in his contract -- another plus for the boys. It’s not the first time the boys have played in a tournament - - but it was their first bridge tournament. Both are seasoned chess players of approximate equal strength -- “We break about even in our games,” said Erik, the 13-year-old. “Well, maybe I’m a little ahead,” said Roger, who is 10.
