I can say now, that it is “traditional”, being New Year’s day tomorrow, for me to give you a heads up on the highlights of this year’s articles here at iBridge Player. I suppose I have to admit that I was a little surprised how popular posts about new products were. I reviewed some great ones including I’ve been noting that very few of the people who write comments on my blog have a Gravatar. Hmmm!! I see it as part of my job to drag the child, which is the bridge community, kicking and screaming out of the 20th century into the present day. So read on and then implement what I say! Whilst Imagine for a moment that it is Christmas day and you are unwrapping presents. A bottle of scent, a pair of socks, a box of chocolates, another book… on Bridge conventions , smiles all round – just what you always wanted… again.
Just what you've always wanted… again Now imagine this as a present: Are you enjoying the Bridge & Business series? – the stats indicate, ‘not really’. Consequently, I have delayed this last B & B part 4 so as not to turn too many of you way (gulp!)… Perhaps the series has been a bit too serious. Perhaps just plain too irrelevant. But, whatever you do in life, even iBridge Player blog has just past it’s first birthday!!! Hip Hip… Hooray!! I took a holiday this past week and had a chance to think back on the year… what a journey it has been.

Well, a couple of days ago I received an email from Nira who is one of the team at BridgeBig.com. This mail that I’d received had left me stunned… my mouth wide open agape: You may recall that a couple of weeks I know that some of you will be irritated with this post, but I have no alternative but to talk to you about ‘Pianola‘. ‘What is Pianola and what has it to do with Contract Bridge?’, I hear you say – I’ll come to that in a minute. The thing is, two weeks ago I wrote this post There are few subjects that raise the temperature as much as talk of Bridge online gambling. Perhaps that is why some Bridge gambling sites don’t draw attention to themselves. You either love the idea of playing for money or you hate it. But either way Bridge and money are inextricably linked. Placing money on winning a game 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. How do you survive a baptism of fire at the Bridge club? This is my story: I had been learning Contract Bridge for 6 months when I first went along to play at a ‘Duplicate‘ session in a Bridge Club. For those of you who know, 6 months is not a long time to have been playing |
