Congratulations to Sylvia who recently celebrated a milestone birthday at Moseley Bridge Club. Sylvia, who turned 100 years old in May was joined by fellow bridge players to mark the momentous occasion.
Tony learned bridge at school and has played ever since. Tony has been teaching bridge in Surrey for 12 years. He organises bridge events and is currently working with EBED on planning a revamped Junior Autumn Camp. He is a member of the Surrey County Bridge Association committee. He also runs Caterham and By the Wey Bridge Clubs.
Tony had a career in IT and International Banking. This involved much international travel and addressing many interesting management and technical problems.
I don’t consider myself to be a bridge expert, though I have won the odd decent level tournament. I’ve always loved bridge, but it’s always been a source of fascination and frustration that so much of what we are taught about the game, “always lead your 4th highest”, “bid game when you have 25 HCP” etc, is driven by dogma rather than by analysis of data. The world’s experts may have better card play than me, but could I outperform them on some hands by doing the mathematically correct thing while they just blindly followed the dogma? I had to find out!
The World Bridge Games will take place later this year in Buenos Aires, Argentina from 21st Oct - 3rd Nov 2024.
