It is a fairly expensive business getting a developer to create a Bridge application for use on iphones and ipads. So I was curious to have a look at what is available out there.
Contract Bridge apps for iphone and ipad App #1. So many “Contract Bridge” books have reviews like this: Alternatively, one reads book reviews that are basically a cut and past ‘blow of the trumpet’ from the inside cover of the Myths are perpetuated for a reason. Contract Bridge myths are difficult to dispel – It’s better to confuse them Myth #1: A few years ago, during a game of bridge, I led a Jack from J10xx. I stammered for an answer, “Well…” For 8 months I have been providing the kind of Bridge blog posts that I GUESSED would entertain and give readers something that they might be hankering for in Bridge. But I want to do much better than ‘guess’ what you want me to write about. I want to celebrate iBridge Last week I was saying how I found learning languages incredibly difficult as a youngster and yet really easy as an adult. My improvements in learning language are due to a better understanding of certain principles about how memory works. One of the principles of quickly learning language involves converting short term recollections into medium term If you imagine the tectonic plates as floating, like ice on water on the liquid magma beneath, it is not difficult to imagine why soil erosion over millions of years can reduce the land mass on a tectonic plate such that it rises and makes the land’s highest peaks rise – this theory explains the discrepancy If you ask people why they play Bridge there are two basic answers: The first relates to the game itself – the challenge, the mental application, the solving of puzzles etc. But very few if any Bridge writers are filling in the [blank]… The most incredible defence I’ve ever heard about in Bridge is the performance given by James Reed: After calling her husband “a bum Bridge player” Myrtle Bennet was apparently slapped about the face several times, following an evening of Bridge in their home in Kansas City! Admittedly, most Bridge players have become frustrated by their Bridge partner at Most players are familiar with signalling to partner to indicate whether they like a suit or not. Typically this occurs after a lead: Say partner leads a Queen. But I have a great tip for you that I rarely see used in clubs |
