He read Mathematics and Computer Science at Liverpool Univer ity where he took up competitive bridge, playing hi first repr ntati e match in 1970 and becoming the Univer tty Bridge Club Secretary for 1971-72. It was at the University Bridge Club that he met his wife Maureen, now a doctor in general practice and a keen bridge player.

TARLO, nnan. 5 P Y HI BIDDl H arold frankUn (B courtes of the Bridge Magazine) The p chic b.d 1 a perfectly le itimate plo which add a p1ce of excitement for the adventurou I minded, which on occasion can create an element of urprise with dramatic effect. " urprise " is the effective word. All too often the victim i not t' tied that the " urpri •· is as eneral a the Laws require. Perhap a few definitions and illustration can help to iJJuminate me gre area . Law 40, under the heading Partner h ip Understandings, states : "A player rna make any call or play (including an intentionally misleading call uch as a 'p chic bid ', or a call or ploy that departs from commonly accepted or previou ly announced conventional practice) without prior announcement, provided that it i not based on a partner hip understanding." At fir t glance the Law would appear to permit too much latitude. A partner· ship agreement, dul tout on the convention card, may provide for a no-trump 12-14 in all po ition In practice the player may find it expedient to be minimum (or even sub-m lnimum) at favourable vulnerability, maximum at adverse vulnerability. Given that partner ha the minimum values for a border J:ne rai to two no-trump on the basi of a 12-14 no-trump, it would not be unnatural if hi deci ion were influenced by the vulnerability condition. And what of the opponent who mu t decide whether to compete 7 He urely should know whether at one moment 12-14 i likely to mean 11 or 12 and at another 13 or 14.
