Founders Duplicate Bridge
Friday Duplicate Bridge
We are beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel. The CDC says that fully vaccinated
people can gather with other vaccinated people indoors without wearing a mask or social
distancing. Hopefully one of the rooms at the Clubhouse will soon be available for bridge play.
The CDC statement implies that NON vaccinated people cannot join.
In previous issues we described Larry Cohen's convention recommendations. He favors
the most useful conventions in an A, B, C, and D list.
The D list is comprised of the following: Lebensohl, Drury, Inverted Minors, and Splinter
Bids. Most of us are comfortable with his A and B list. The C list conventions are useful but
do not occur frequently. The above described D list is probably beyond the usefulness of the
intermediate player.
Larry writes "Honestly, I think it would be counterproductive for 99% of players to go any
further than this. The memory strain is not worth it. Someone once said, the Road to Hell is
Paved with Good Conventions."

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.
