Great news for all of you out there who want to learn this wonderful game of ours, or have friends that do – beginners’ bridge lessons are soon coming to the Bermuda Bridge Club on Pomander Road! Running the lessons will be the popular pair of Bill P...

I watched the documentary Dirty Tricks last week, which is about a cheating scandal at the very top of the bridge world involving a player who at the time was considered one of the best in the game. It is a riveting story at times, and hugely sad at...

Bridge hands to me are often akin to a great painting or a great song – there are some that you just don’t mind looking at, or listening to, time and time again. Today’s hand is one of those – a simple-looking hand but one which is so easy to get wr...
