Founders Duplicate Bridge Friday Duplicate Bridge By the time you read this issue we have been socially distanced for one entire year. Reflecting on the last live bridge games in March of last year, we played Howell movements. On March 4, the winners were Carolyn Curtin and Marc Beardsley. On March 10, the winners were Fred McGarvey and Valerie Gwin. Since then, all live play ceased but many of us resumed playing as foursomes or teams online at BBO (www.bridgebase.com) We had plenty of time to review bidding, play, and defensive strategies. In previous issues of this newsletter we mentioned Larry Cohen's website and his A list of the four most useful conventions: Negative Doubles, Blackwood, Stayman and Jacoby transfers. On his B list are 4th suit forcing, DONT, weak jumps, and 2NT response to a weak 2 opening. Today we add his C list with the Unusual NoTrump, Michaels Cue bid, New Minor Checkback, Jacoby 2NT and Support Doubles. Next month we will feature his D list with the last four conventions he finds useful in competitive play. When you explore Larryco.com, click on LEARNING CENTER for a series of bridge articles. We offer a Duplicate Bridge game that combines the superior scoring of Duplicate Bridge but also has the friendlier and non- aggressive attitude of home style Rubber Bridge. With Duplicate Bridge, your true opponents are the pairs that hold the same cards as you would rather than your opponents at the table. We are not an ACBL game and for that, we not only offer an extremely reasonable game price of just $2, but also give cash awards to the winners. If you are interested, please call John Gates at (760) 295-5885, the president of this bridge club, to see if this type of game might meet your expectations. We are relatively small and have anywhere from five to eight tables. The games are at 1 pm on the second, fourth, and fifth Fridays of the month in Mykonos. You do not have to join this club to play your first game; however, if you decide to join, the annual dues are $6. 38 | OHCC LIVING | APRIL 2021 |
