Maurice Weissberger died on 3rd March, just short of his 90th birthday. He had been one of Great Britain’s finest players both in domestic and international competition. internationally, his best result was finishing second with the late Joan Durran in the World Mixed Pairs in 1966. This, along with numerous other good performances, helped him become one of very few British players ever to achieve the World Bridge Federation’s rank of World Master. The pinnacle of his domestic record was achieving back to back wins in the Lederer Trophy in 1966 and 1967.

Attending a regular bridge course is great for new learners, but there are other ways to pick up the game. Many of today's top players started at home with family and friends, passing on the rules to one another. Bridge played at home is generally a form of the game called rubber bridge, where each deal is played only once. Do not know the rules? A book like Andrew Robson's Beginner's Guide to Bridge will get you started.
