Just as there were no adults in Charles Schulz's Peanuts, there were no children in his short lived try at a second comic strip, “It’s Only A Game,” which ran from November 3, 1957 to January 11, 1959 and featured gags just as funny as the one above about upper middle class niche pastimes like bridge, golf, and more golf.

At least now we know what Mr. and Mrs. Brown, and the Van Pelts were up to while the kids were doing their thing.

Bridge is Arguably the Greatest Card Game Ever – But it is Tricky

Further on from the guru Eddie Kantor’s 4 Basic Phases of Bridge, I came across his crib notes that my partner and I used to get us up and running in this most difficult, yet addictive card game.

Bridge – the Card Game: Some Winning Tips

As any bridge player will know, bidding is considered the most important aspect to master in the game. A good bridge playing bidder is a winning bridge player.

· Count – before opening take stock. Add your high card points (HCP): Ace = 4, King = 3, Queen = 2, Jack = 1. Holding 12 or more HCP, you should open the bidding.

· To open 1♥ or 1♠, you must have at least five cards in the suit.

· If you have two five-card suits, open in the higher-ranking suit first, i.e. spades before hearts. The suits rank from spades to hearts to diamonds and then clubs.

· If you have two four-card suits, one a major (spades or hearts), one a minor (diamonds or clubs), you should open in the minor. If you have two four-card minors, open 1♦.

· With a balanced hand, i.e. no voids, singletons, or two doubletons, open 1NT with 15 - 17 HCP.

· If your partner opens, holding less than 6 HCP pass. With 6 or more HCP, bid your longest suit at the one level, if possible. Responding at the two-level in a new suit requires 10-11 or more HCP. Replying 1NT indicates 6 to 10 HCP. This tells your partner you don’t have a four-card major when she opens 1♣ or 1♦.

· To support your partner’s first bid major suit you need three or more cards in that suit; to support any second bid suit, you need four or more cards in that suit.

· In bidding, the primary objective is to find an eight-card or longer major suit fit in the partnership.

Playing duplicate bridge at home – Bridge stationery and equipment that you will need.

This is a fun way of playing the game of bridge. To do so you need basically:

· You need at least 8 players (2 tables). If you want more players it is preferable to do so in multiples of 4.

· Card/bridge tables - you can use any table which accommodates 4 people, but it is nicest to use a standard card table.

· Bridge cloths - preferably plain coloured.

· Duplicate boards – at least one for each table.

· One pack of playing cards for each duplicate board

· Score sheets or travellers – one for each board.

· Movement cards - to direct players to their next table position after each round.

A "movement" in the game of duplicate bridge is a direction of circulating the pairs and boards around so that for every round each pair meets up with an opposing pair to play the next set of boards that neither has played. There are various types of movements, but these two – The Howell Movement and Individual are common and will show you how to set up the movement. It is essential to have these movement cards so that players know where to go and what boards to next play. You can get them at a bridge supply shop. https://www.bridgeshop.com.au/club-supplies/movements.html

The Bridge Shop is an All Things Bridge Shop and More

So you are isolating, keeping safe and sound, missing your bridge club and your bridge buddies but going a little stir-crazy? Well then go shopping. Get your shopping togs on and click on https://www.bridgeshop.com.au/

All things Bridge just a click away

We should be kind to ourselves more. We find ourselves in an "unpleasant state" after a period of social isolation, since as we tend to forget sometimes that being human means we thrive, and survive, on interaction.

Humans, (included in this are Bridge Players!), don't just like to be social, we need to be. Being lonely seems to be as deadly as smoking 15 cigarettes a day and that is why depriving yourself of social connections, temporarily as it may be, doesn't feel good. Your body is trying to tell you to mingle, and if you are like me, your brain is telling you to shop and play bridge! Well, you can come out of hibernation and buy bridge products online, and mingle, read, play and do all things bridge.

So Shop till You Stop Being Lonely at The Bridge Shop

Get some good interaction going to stimulate those slowly declining bridge and social skills by starting with Tip of the Day:

FORGING EXTRA TRICKS IN THE TRUMP SUIT

Going for Your Own Ruff

“If you hold the AKx(x)(x) in the suit partner has led plus a side-suit singleton, win the opening lead with the ace and then shift to your singleton. Partner, thinking declarer has the king, will be more apt to give you a ruff. If you win the opening lead with the king and then switch to shortness, partner should assume a doubleton — with a singleton you would have won the first trick with the ace.

Does anybody remember when bridge used to be fun?”

Then take a look at their Digital Bridge Care Pack

“We've partnered with a few of our favourite suppliers to offer you the following free downloads to help you fill in the hours and days during this uncertain and unsettling time. Please feel free to share these with your friends, family and favourite bridge partners.”

What about buying bridge-related presents online for you isolating bridge chums?

Or perhaps you want to at long last treat yourself to some special bridge products then browse around.

Playing Cards:

Number one best present for bridge players are playing cards, decent ones. At The Bridge Shop, you will find a present for someone amongst their playing card selection.

Yes, now is the time to update your old pass-me-down card table. Go to the card table section and click: https://www.bridgeshop.com.au/club-supplies/tables.html

Did You Know That the Game of Bridge Can Be Lethal?

Even if you have all the bridge products in the world, the honed skill of a top bridge athlete, the best-dressed table, magic playing cards and Eddie Kantor as your partner, you could still be in jeopardy.

In 1929 Myrtle Bennet shot and killed her husband for not making a contract of four spades.

She was acquitted.

It transpired that her husband was an abusive man and she got away with Bridge Murder. Lucky her – how often have you wanted to do away with your partner and get away with it because he made a very stupid mistake? (Yes, Cedrick the Sharp, this applies to you.)

The point is that Myrtle did not allow her bridge to go to the dogs or grow rusty even though she occasionally found it very difficult to get herself a new bridge partner at the bridge table.

She did find one partner and when he made an impulsive bid, he apparently put down his hand with some diffidence and stated: Partner, I am afraid you will want to shoot me for this.

7 tips on how you can avoid being taken out when playing the game of bridge or similarly, you committing an offensive bridge crime:

Tip # 1.

Find yourself the right partner. Bond with that person. As in James.

Tip# 2.

Keep yourself abreast of the latest bridge products to ensure you are not regarded as Shirley the Sheep at the table i.e. a person commonly known as an old-fashioned bridge player with no sense of what needs to be done to keep up to date with the game. This can be very offensive and very boring to the partner.

Tip# 3.

Know that post-mortems must only be done after the game – preferably at dawn the day after.

Tip# 4.

Keep ahead of the pack (including the cards) by posing as an expert witness. To do this you need to keep a stash of products that will inspire all your bridge chummies and make you look professional.

Tip# 5.

If you have offended your bridge chummies or more seriously your bridge partner, then revert to giving that person a super bridge gift. A new set of monogrammed personalised playing cards with a note saying: “I promise never to not lead your call again”. Or something along those lines. Have a stash of bridge greeting cards for this exact purpose, i.e. Wrong Bid Greeting Card, or A Wandering Dummy Greeting Card.

Tip# 6.

Do not compound a crime in the game of bridge. If you or your partner (this is surely more likely), make an error, do not lose you cool and commit a crime. Simply understand that most contracts can still be beaten after one defensive error, but seldom after two.

Tip# 7.

When your partner makes a nice play a kind word at the end of the round will go a long way to warding off evil thoughts. If this consistently happens – go all out and buy a Superb Jumbo Index set of playing cards for her and say – “Thanks Dolly the Dummy, you make a BIG difference in my game!”
