Millard Nachtwey and Audrey Grant did not move in the same circles, but as of this tournament, the two have a connection of major significance. For the 10th time in the history of the award, the ACBL Board of Directors has selected two major figures in bridge – Nachtwey and Grant – for Honorary Member of the Year.

The honor is bestowed annually for long and meritorious service to bridge.

Nachtwey, who died Aug. 3, was a national tournament director and director-in-charge at Fall NABCs who served the Mid-Atlantic Bridge Conference for decades.

Grant is arguably the world’s best-known and most successful bridge teacher whose influence is felt by other teachers as well as countless students.

In nominating Nachtwey, ACBL Board Members Bob Heller (District 7) and Margot Hennings (District 6) praised him as “one of our game’s greatest assets. His contributions extended far beyond the selling table or making rulings or supervising colleagues, and that was particularly the case in Districts 6 and 7.”

Nachtwey was born in Washington DC and grew up in Bethesda MD. He earned a bachelor’s degree in English at Bucknell University, where he met his life partner of 40 years, Doug Grove.

Nachtwey began his directing career in the

early Seventies and operated his own club, Millard’s Bridge Studio, from 1978 until the fall of 1983, when he began to direct tournaments full time. His reputation as a master of tournament operations quickly grew, and he became

the chief director for the MABC, a position he held for 20 years.

Nachtwey also lent his organizing expertise to the American Bridge Association, which has a presence in the Washington DC area, where Nachtwey and Grove lived. The ABA prevailed upon his volunteer spirit to mentor ABA directors on how to make a tournament experience the best it could be. ABA tournaments continue to be successful to this day, thanks in large measure to Nachtwey.

Heller and Hennings said that when the Gatlinburg Regional grew from about 4500 tables to more than 10,000, more than the usual expertise was needed to make the tournament run smoothly. Nachtwey provided that skill.

“Millard always was in the vanguard of those changes,” they wrote, “recognizing that our tournament future was in the common players, not the elite. He and Doug always were looking for ways to make the schedule as attractive and alluring as possible to as many players as possible. Millard dealt

Nachtwey, Grant selected asACBL Honorary Members

Eddie Wold is well known in the bridge world as a top player and a fine ambassador for the game. Come January, he can add “professor” – sort of – to the list of his titles.

Although he won’t actually be a professor, Wold will be teaching bridge for credit at Houston’s Rice University, his alma mater.

One of the key figures in helping to arrange the groundbreaking course is Dr. Robert Curl, an ACBL member and co-winner of the 1996 Nobel Prize in chemistry. Curl supported the idea of a college bridge course. He notes, “I know of no other university offering a bridge course for credit.”

Curl and Wold have known each other since Wold studied math and biochemistry at Rice in the early

Seventies.At a Houston tournament earlier this year, Wold

ran into Curl and they got to talking about whether there was bridge activity at the school. “I told him I would help if there was any interest,” Wold says.

During the summer, there was a notice at student orientation that Wold would be available to teach bridge.

“The next thing I knew,” Wold says, “I got an email from the master of Lovett College (at Rice) asking if I would be willing to teach bridge for credit.” Wold responded immediately: “Sign me up.”

The class won’t start until January, but some of the students who will be in the class are already taking informal lessons from Wold. The two-hour class – on Monday nights – will run through April.

Curl ran interference for the establishment of the course. In an email about the process, he wrote:

“Rice offering credit for a course in bridge does sound a bit like the old jokes about colleges offering courses in basket weaving. I think we would agree that bridge involves a lot more brain effort than

Eileen Smith and James McCommons of Dallas TX turned in the best performance in the opening round of the Mini-Blue Ribbon Pairs to lead the field going into today’s two-session semifinal round. Smith and McCommons posted a huge 69.26% score in the first qualifying session and paired it with a 59.33% in the second session to lead with a carryover of 854.42.

In second with 818.99 are Sarita Mathiasen of Albany CA and Edward Frymoyer of Half Moon Bay CA.

Convention card reminderEach player is required to have a convention

card filled out legibly and on the table throughout a session. Both cards of a partnership must be identical and include the first and last names of each member of the partnership.

If a director determines that neither player has a substantially completed card, the partnership may play only the Standard American Yellow Card and may use only standard carding. This restriction may be lifted only at the beginning of a subsequent round after convention cards have been properly prepared and approved by the director. Further, the partnership will receive a 1/6-board matchpoint penalty for each board played, commencing with the next round and continuing until the restriction is lifted. In IMP team games, penalties shall be at the discretion of the director.

If the director determines the partnership has at least one substantially completed convention card but has not fully complied with ACBL regulations, the director may give warnings or assign such penalties as he deems to be appropriate under the circumstances.

The objective of these warnings and penalties is the encouragement of full compliance with ACBL regulations.

JUST FOR NEW PLAYERSKeep it simple

by Brent ManleyAt an afternoon duplicate game, a new round

was called. Trudy Rustmann, of Palm City FL, moved to a table where North was in deep thought about the board she had just played. Rustmann was surprised to see the player at the club because she knew the woman worked days. As Rustmann sat down, she said, “Are you playing hooky today?” The woman stammered, “What? Oh, no – we play Schenken.”

Schenken is a bidding system probably not known to many new players. That’s not surprising because it does not have nearly as many adherents as it once did. In case you’re interested, it was devised by the late Howard Schenken, generally considered the best player of his generation.

Not the best bidder, mind you – the best player. There’s a difference. Fancy bidding systems can be great if handled properly, but they don’t take tricks, which is your ultimate goal.

Does it matter what you play? Perhaps, but what matters more is how well you and your partner know your bidding system, and that brings me to the point of this essay.

The easiest way for you and your partner to know your system back to front is to keep your system simple. The fewer the moving parts, the easier it is to manage. Here are a few tips for you to get on the same page with your partner.

1. Decide on a “style” for your opening bids. It won’t work if one of you is opening flimsy 11-pointers and the other is sticking to a philosophy of “sound” openers – that is, at least a good 12 high-card points with a couple of quick tricks. In this context, “good” means your high cards are mostly aces and kings in your long suit(s).

2. If you are tempted to use the Rule of 20 as the guideline for your openers, consider putting that idea on the shelf – or at least adjusting it to the Rule of 22: You can open if your high-card points and the number of cards in your two long

suits equals 20 and you have two quick tricks (aces and kings).

3. Decide on a short list of conventions to play and discuss them thoroughly. Good starters are Stayman, Blackwood, major-suit transfers over 1NT and 2NT openers. Discuss follow-ups.

West North East South You 1NT Pass 2♣ Pass 2♦ Pass 2♥ Pass ?

Is 2♥ to play? Forcing?

West North East South You 1NT Pass 2♣ Pass 2♠ Pass 3♦ Pass ?

Is 3♦ to play? Forcing? What would a direct 3♦ over 1NT mean?

These two merely scratch the surface. Whichever way you decide to go, discussion is vital. Hint: If you don’t know what a bid means, consider it to be forcing.

4. If you don’t play negative doubles over partner’s one-level openers, give it serious thought. It’s not terribly complicated, and using double strictly for penalty when someone overcalls will put you in more awkward positions than you can imagine. There are many resources for learning about negative doubles, including

the recently concluded series on doubles by Larry Cohen that was published in the Bridge Bulletin.

5. Don’t add conventions until you and your partner are confident you understand how they work, including follow-ups. This includes any system you decide to play in defense of a 1NT opener. If you do adopt some conventional system, resist the temptation to use it just because it’s on your card. A disciplined partner is a partner to treasure. Try to be one.

West North East South 1♦ Dbl Redbl 1♠ Dbl All Pass

Opening lead: ♥Q.Bidding commentary: This deal is an example

of how a rather large penalty can be exacted at the one level! West has a normal takeout double. North’s redouble shows 11+ high-card points plus a likely balanced hand. North need not redouble with every hand of that strength. Distributional hands often do better by starting with a forcing, unlimited, one-level response (if possible). However, a new suit response at the two level is not forcing. Responder is more or less obliged to redouble holding a five- or six-card minor with 11+ HCP.

After a redouble, the doubling side, outgunned point-wise, can be in a heap of trouble if they have no eight-card fit. After an opposing run-out (1♠), if opener or responder has four cards in the run-out suit headed by an honor or two, that player is expected to double. After a redouble, any double by the opener or the responder is a penalty double and partner is expected to honor that double by passing holding two more cards in the opponent’s suit.

Finally, after a redouble, the redoubling side plays the hand or the opponents play it doubled. The opponents shall not be let off the hook!

Lead commentary: As South, with strong trumps, lead from a sequence rather than shortness.

Play commentary: As East, if you can squirm out of this mess with five tricks, well done. The plan is to try to ruff a diamond in dummy.

Defensive commentary: Unless the defense loses its way, the contract figures to be defeated two or three tricks, North-South collect 500 or 800 points on a deal that might not have reached game against silent opposition.

Endplay of the dayBy Jan van Cleeff (NewInBridge)

On a frequent basis, NewInBridge.com publishes plays of the day. Here is one from the Mitchell Open Board-a-Match Teams at this tournament. Barnet Shenkin, originally from Scotland but now living in Boca Raton FL, submitted the deal. He was the victim of an elegant endplay performed by Ira Chorush. Dlr: West ♠ A Q J 5 Vul: N-S ♥ 5 ♦ K 8 4 3 ♣ Q 7 5 3 ♠ K 10 6 4 3 2 ♠ 9 7 ♥ Q ♥ K 9 6 4 2 ♦ J 7 5 ♦ 10 ♣ J 4 2 ♣ A K 10 9 6 ♠ 8 ♥ A J 10 8 7 3 ♦ A Q 9 6 2 ♣ 8 West North East South Street Lall Shenkin Chorush 2♠ Pass Pass 4♦ (1) Pass 4♠ (2) Pass 5♣ Pass 5♦ All Pass

(1) Red two-suiter.(2) Cuebid.When Paul Street kicked off with a club, East

won the king and did the best he could do: he returned a trump. Declarer won in dummy, played a heart to his ace, drew the rest of the trumps, played a spade to the queen and cashed the ace. He then ruffed a spade and ran the ♥J, pitching the last spade from dummy. This was the position with East still to play: ♠ — ♥ — ♦ 8 ♣ Q 7 5 ♠ K 10 ♠ — ♥ — ♥ K 9 6 ♦ — ♦ — ♣ J 4 ♣ K 10 ♠ — ♥ 10 8 7 ♦ 9 ♣ —

Shenkin surrended. He could win the ♥K, but then had to lead away from one of his remaining suits. Ducking the ♥K would do East no good either, as declarer simply gives the next heart to East, who is forced to develop a heart or a club for declarer.

Well done, Ira Chorus, though the contract could be defeated if East had won the first trick with the ♣10 (running the risk of ♣J bare with South).

Work it out at trick oneBy Phillip Alder

What is one of the most common errors made by less experienced players?

While you think about that, have a look at this bidding problem. With only your side vulnerable, you, North, pick up:♠ A J 10 7 ♥ — ♦ A K 8 ♣ K 9 8 6 3 2

The bidding starts like this: West North East South Pass 1♦ 2♥ Dbl Pass 3♠ Pass ?

What would you rebid?Now try this single-dummy problem from the

first day of the Life Master Pairs. Dlr: East ♠ A J 10 7 Vul: N-S ♥ — ♦ A K 8 ♣ K 9 8 6 3 2 ♠ K Q 8 5 ♥ K Q J 6 ♦ 6 5 4 3 ♣AWest North East South Pass 1♦ 2♥ Dbl Pass 3♠ Pass 4NT Pass 5♠ Pass 6♠ All Pass

Unless using sophisticated Voidwood methods, North probably cannot bid 7♠ with any certainty. Instead of jumping straight to 6♠ and advertising the void, it is a good idea to interject a “fake” Roman Key Card Blackwood.

West leads the ♥A. How should South plan the play?

While you peruse that, here is another single-dummy problem, this time from the Board-a-Match Teams. Dlr: East ♠ A 7 Vul: N-S ♥ A 3 ♦ A K 5 ♣ A 10 7 5 4 3

♠ K J 10 6 5 4 2 ♥ 5 ♦ J 9 2 ♣ K 9 West North East South 3♥ 3♠ 5♥ 6♥ Pass 6♠ Pass 7♠ All Pass

After North has “wasted” one round in the auction, West leads the ♠9. What should South do?

Here is the full deal in the six-spade contract: ♠ A J 10 7 ♥ — ♦ A K 8 ♣ K 9 8 6 3 2 ♠ 4 2 ♠ 9 6 3 ♥ A 10 9 8 7 5 3 ♥ 4 2 ♦ Q J ♦ 10 9 7 2 ♣ 10 7 ♣ Q J 5 4 ♠ K Q 8 5 ♥ K Q J 6 ♦ 6 5 4 3 ♣A

Yes, West was cautious in not overcalling 3♥, despite his sterile 7-2-2-2 distribution and partner’s initial pass.

The inexperienced play too quickly from the dummy at trick one. The declarer in this instance did not make that mistake, working everything out, including the squeeze before he commenced the play.

Given the ♥A lead and assuming trumps are not 5-0, declarer has 12 top tricks: four spades, three hearts, two diamonds, two clubs and the heart ruff at trick one.

However, in a pairs event, you would like to collect the overtrick if possible. But to play to establish dummy’s clubs is taking a risk because spades might well be 4-1.

Instead, consider the possibility of a minor-suit

squeeze on East.One declarer ruffed the first trick, drew trumps

ending in his hand, and cashed his heart winners, giving this position with one still to be played: ♠ — ♥ — ♦ A K ♣ K 9 8 6 ♠ — ♠ — ♥ 10 9 8 ♥ — ♦ Q J ♦ 10 9 7 ♣ 10 7 ♣ Q J 5 4 ♠ Q ♥ J ♦ 6 5 4 3 ♣ A

Dummy pitched the ♦8 on the last heart, but what could East spare?

If East had thrown a club, declarer would have cashed his ♣A, crossed to dummy with a diamond, cashed the ♣K, and ruffed a club to establish dummy’s 9. When East actually discarded a diamond, declarer took his ace of clubs, played off dummy’s three winners, ruffed a club, and claimed the last trick with his final diamond.

Plus 1460 was worth 35.5 matchpoints out of 38.Now let’s return to the grand slam. This was the

surprising layout: Dlr: East ♠ A 7 Vul: N-S ♥ A 3 ♦ A K 5 ♣ A 10 7 5 4 3 ♠ 9 ♠ Q 8 3 ♥ K 8 6 ♥ Q J 10 7 6 4 2 ♦ Q 8 7 6 ♦ 10 4 3 ♣ Q J 8 6 2 ♣ — ♠ K J 10 6 5 4 2 ♥ 5 ♦ J 9 2 ♣ K 9

It is not clear why East failed to double 7♠ to ask for an unusual lead. Perhaps she hoped partner would find the lead anyway and was afraid that the opponents might run to a laydown 7NT. That contract can be made in the most unlikely event that declarer guesses spades correctly, then squeezes West in the minors.

It is even less clear why West led her trump, a very dangerous choice. After, say, an unimaginative heart attack, declarer would surely have gone down, losing a trump trick.

At the table, South won the first trick with her ♠J, played a spade to dummy’s ace and called for a club. A grateful East ruffed in for down one.

Even though one would not expect the 5-0 club break, why risk it? After winning the second trick in the dummy, cash the ♥A, ruff a heart in hand, draw the last trump, and cash the ♣K. If everyone follows, claim because you can establish dummy’s suit. But when East discards a heart, hope that West has the ♦Q. Just run trumps to squeeze West.

The InsiderAs the search for the former Supreme

Commander entered its second full day, the Insider was as frustrated as a scorned lover. Several promising leads had evaporated with the morning fog that had blanketed the Napa Valley. When the Insider peered in the mirror, a deer-in-the-headlights image returned his glance. The Insider found himself back at square one. With only a scant 12 hours left to search, the Insider’s bag was empty – he had run out of metaphors. Even so, he retained a bit of hope and trudged off to check into one last place the S.C. had been rumored to have been seen. From a spa three miles outside of Calistoga, the Insider had received a report that three former Navy SEALs, two personal assistants, a chef and an unidentified man holding a convention card, two duplicate boards and the November 2010 Bridge Bulletin had booked the entire spa for the day. This had to be the S.C. Posing as an RC Cola delivery man, the Insider penetrated the spa’s perimeter and made his way to Bungalow 17. He found the S.C. enjoying a hot rock treatment, listening to vintage Rolling Stones, drinking a warm Rolling Rock and nibbling on cinnamon rock candy. After much persuasion, the S.C. agreed to an interview that will be run in its entirety in this space tomorrow.

Housekeeping notes: Please note that hand records are provided by

event time, NOT by event. There is not a separate hand record for the Blue Ribbon. Those hands are the same as the hands played in the Regional Pairs.

Starbucks in the hotel lobby will be closing at 4 p.m. The Planners talked them into staying open until 6 p.m., but after selling just two lattes and one lo-fat, double whip, half green/half black tea with an espresso shot between 4 and 6 p.m. yesterday, they decided they couldn’t afford to stay open for those two extra hours.

Please remember the Marriott is a no-smoking facility. The stairwells are part of the facility. You can’t smoke in the stairwells.

Ask Me Girl identified 17 different ways to ask about the location of Blue Ribbon Pairs – her favorite was the person that asked, “Where are the Blue Chips?”

The Insider is on his way back from Napa with the S.C. interview which will run here tomorrow. Set your alarm for 5 a.m. to hurry down to level B2 to get your copy. There will be no reprints of this exclusive interview. And much of the interview will be redacted in the online Daily Bulletin. The Bulletin Boys hope this is the start of a trend to redact the entire column.

effortlessly with hotel personnel when there were room-contract or snack bar problems. He could run the events with one hand and be de facto tournament chair with the other.

“Millard’s volunteerism never stopped—the number of hours he dedicated to his local unit, to the district, and to the MABC is staggering and throughout it all, Millard continued to play bridge often. Those who were fortunate enough to play with him counted him as one of their ‘best partners,’ not only for his bridge play but for his demeanor both at the bridge table and away from it.’”

You wouldn’t know it to look at her today, but Grant grew up on a farm in Burlington ON, near Toronto. Early on, she developed a thirst for learning and a strong desire to help others grow.

“My 96-year-old mother is always learning,” Grant says, “I came by that honestly, and it’s not a chore. It’s more fun to keep learning than to stay put. I work at it.”

Grant has parlayed that natural desire into a career as one of the most successful bridge teachers in the annals of the game. Players flock to her courses and bridge cruises. Bridge teachers line up to find out what Grant knows about conveying information.

Teamed up with her husband of 33 years, Grant has written books, publishes a bridge magazine and will soon unveil Audrey Grant’s Daily Bridge Column, available online and via an application for smart phones and tablets.

After moving to Toronto, Grant studied philosophy and education at McMaster University. She also has a separately earned teaching degree. “It was a foundation I have found to be extremely useful,” she says.

Before turning to bridge teaching, Grant taught everything from kindergarten to post-graduate university courses and was a consultant to the Toronto School Board, designing teaching courses.

Grant learned bridge during her first marriage. Her husband belonged to the IMB Golf and Country Club, so she took up the game as a way to make friends. She met Lindop at the Kate Buckman Bridge Studio in Toronto.

In establishing their bridge enterprise, Grant and Lindop “went to the best players to get the best information.” Grant’s first two books – The Joy of Bridge and Bridge Maxims – were written with world champion player and renowned theorist Eric Rodwell.

In running the Toronto Bridge Club, Grant developed some theories of how clubs should operate that she believes can help any club grow. One of them involves the posting of results at the end of a session. In Grant’s club, only those who placed had their names listed. The rest of the results were there, but only by table numbers. No one was embarrassed for coming in last, she says: “When clubs do this, it increases attendance.”

Always looking for opportunities to expand her mind, Grant has taken up yoga and meditation and she is never without a book. At the NABC in San Francisco, she is carrying around a copy of The Zen of Creativity by John Daido Loori.

When she and Lindop played in the World Mixed Pairs in Philadelphia two years ago, she made a basic mistake on defense and was troubled by it. Not long after that, while at an airport, she spotted a book, Why We Make Mistakes, by Joseph Helleman. As she read the book, she gained a better understanding of why she made the bridge mistake in Philadelphia.

At home, Grant has a box labeled “Precious Notes.” It’s a collection of cards and letters about success stories from “people I have taught to teach.” That is her life’s work. “I love doing it,” she says. “If you discover something, you should pass it on.”

The list of other Honorary Members is impressive, and Grant understands that she is in elite company now. She plans to work hard so that she deserves her place on the list.

“I am always trying to get to the next level,” she says. “I want to keep improving as a teacher.”

basket weaving, but it might be a bit of unfair of me to jump to that conclusion having never tried basket weaving. ”What is going on is related to the fact that Rice has a residential college system. An effort is made to make the colleges an organized, vital part of the intellectual life of the university. Part of this effort allows and encourages the colleges to propose courses in subjects that are interesting and often fun.

“But the course must have some intellectual aspect. Generally, college courses have a maximum of one semester credit and almost always offered on a pass-fail basis. Our students have no experience with failing anything academic and would be mortified if they ever did. Thus they expect to put some effort into the course in order to pass it and the one credit hour is a small reward for this effort.

“I pushed the course through the Rice approval process without any difficulties. Eddie’s outstanding qualifications made it easy.

“Now that we have basket weaving out of the way, I have a chance to say that I am enthusiastic about the course. No one could or should work all the time. We all need to be serious about something which does not really matter. Bridge has given me many hours of pleasure and of relief from my day-to-day concerns. I would like these students in the course to learn enough about the game for them to make an informed decision about whether it is

something they wish to pursue.”Wold says the goal of the class is to have the

students able to play by the end of the semester. The class will be limited to 19 students – Rice likes to keep the teacher-to-student ratio low – but interested students will be able to audit the class.

The informal teaching so far, Wold says, “has been one of the most fun things I’ve ever done. The kids are sharp. It’s a dream situation for a teacher to have bright students.”

Wold has been teaching for about five years. A shoulder injury forced him to take time off from his busy professional playing schedule. The down time became boring, and Betty Starzec helped him find people who wanted bridge lessons. He did his first cruises about the same time.

Wold has come a long way from his start in the game. It happened one day on the Rice campus. He was on his way to dinner when a friend recruited him to be a fourth in a bridge game. “I don’t really play,” Wold said. The response was, “We don’t really care.”

It wasn’t long before Wold was playing bridge for pay, and he made his mark in 1977 when he was on the winning team in two national events – the Grand National Teams and the Spingold Knockout Teams.

A couple of months ago, Wold passed 60,000 masterpoints and has been among the top masterpoint winners each year for three decades. He has won 15 North American championships.

Wold says he hopes that some of his peers will make the effort to get bridge in other colleges around the country. The teaching gig at Rice, he says, “could be the start of something big.”
