4-some want to play Duplicate
Sid
I quote a query from Colin Lyall of South Africa to me:
"Hello Sid
We are four people who have been playing contract for a few years and
would like to play duplicate bridge but we are only four ! I have heard
that pre played hands with bidding and results are available somewhere
on the net. For the life of me I can't find anything. Do you know of any
site ? Unfortunately the four of us that play are nowhere near a bridge
club.
Many thanks
Colin"
Anyone?
TIA.

Another possibility is Chicago with a form of scoring used in Russia.
In effect, you are playing for IMPs against a par score decided by your
point count. See

Two ideas.
First, go to Ricard Pavlicek's page. There are the last 11 instant
matchpoint games found at:
http://www.rpbridge.net/rpbr.htm#06
36 hands each. Plus, the hands can be downloaded and printed out
seperately (i.e., all 36 North hands are on the same sheet). That way,
the players can make their own hands using seperate decks.
As a bonus, Pavlicek has not only the instant MP scoring, he also has
hand and bidding analysis.
Second, find a friend who plays OKbridge. Such as elsid, for example.
Have him print up a variety of hands from last week's boards and the
scores. This can be done easliy from the new OKbridge website or by
using Georg Mavridis's automatic end-of-week mailer. The website has
hands going back about twenty weeks or so.
The URL is:
http://java.okbridge.com/cgi-bin/boards_advanced.cgi
Within the OKwindows program, you can print up any hands you like from
the current week along with the scores, but the format is not as nice as
the website. The bonus is that an OK member could pull a few hundred
hands that are finished for the week, even those that he has not played
whereas the website limits you to hands that you have played.
I hope this helps. If I ever make it to South Africa, ask Colin to save
me a Pinotage.

to play duplicate, with either matchpt or IMP scoring, against a
major tournament from many years ago. Nice feature - no online access
needed.

Yessssssssss I get George's weekly mails, and will forward.
Trouble is - I don't play many boards, but will get from Tourney
results site on OKB's www.
Thanks!

"Hah ! And all just for a bottle of SA's best red. Many thanks for the
pointers, I will try them all. I must admit I never thought of the news
groups but I don't think we get newsgroups here at work anyway. I will
let you know what I find. I'm just outside Port Elizabeth so the PE
bridge club is a bit far to go. Plus we would get evicted. Too much
noise, table talk too much, eat to much and the pinotage flows ..... we
enjoy our bridge ;-)
Thanks again for your help
Colin"
Thanks guys.

Have them dial in Google.com on the Internet and they will have dozens of sites
with whom they can get in touch.
When google.com comes up, just type in
"Duplicate Bridge and in about 1/2 second they will have pages of sites to
contact.
