In my recent blog post entitled “How can a great Bridge Blog benefit you?” Dave left a comment: My leads and signals are ok, but sometimes after winning a trick, I never know what to lead next. I might lead a new suit, and afterwards my teacher will say something like “you shouldn’t have opened the new 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 I had this rather curious dream: I was playing Bridge and was a sea – I couldn’t remember any of the cards being played. More of a nightmare really… and my head was swimming and I felt dazed and panicked. I was then given a tip by one of my opponents of all things: 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 Over the next few blog posts I am going to uncover some of the myths about memory, identify some of the card play memory mistakes you may be making, and suggest some useful tips that may enable you to have that wonderful ability to recall card play sequences with the kind of agility that you thought 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 I remember the first time I plucked up the courage to play online Bridge – I was very nervous. This fear is not just about playing Bridge and the worry of messing things up for the partner you pair with. The main concern I first had related to the technology: The user interface on the gaming site, knowing how to write messages, understanding the lingo, working out how to navigate around the site etc. All in all, it is quite a scary undertaking. This week I thought I would provide an introductory video. I launch iBridge Player in August 2010 and in that time I have tried to entertain and create something new for my subscribers with each post. As it’s New Year’s day tomorrow and it is already 22:43, I thought I would just give you a heads up on the year’s most interesting articles. Of course, some of the early ones were not read by many people because nobody new the website existed. First up |
