Results and Winners Bidders Challenge 2022-01

The Top Bidders for Set 2022-01

A brand new annual competition starts here, so this month’s top scorers are also the frontrunners in the early stages of that contest. This month’s winner, with a score of 76/80 on what turned out to be a difficult set, is:

Douglas Schmickrath (BBO: P0STM0RTEM) from Los Altos Hills CA, USA

Douglas learned bridge about 25 years ago by studying books before ever making it to a club game. Having always been a math guy with a penchant for puzzle solving, he still takes lessons regularly including from yours truly (MarcSmith) and Steve Conrad (ConradSR). He has historically played 2/1, although he has become quite fond of Oliver Clarke Precision (OCP), which he found through his involvement with the BBO Intermediate/Advanced Club (IAC). He recommends them all!

Also on the January 'Roll of Honour':

With a score of 75/80:

Paul Dubois (BBO: pootsca) from El Cajon CA, USA

Paul saw fellow math students at Berkeley in 1962 flunk out by playing bridge all day, so he avoided it until he retired as a computational scientist in 2005. He now writes books for intermediate players that he offers for free at www.pfdubois.com.

And, in joint third place, with a score of 73/80:

Radu Popescu (BBO: Radu120) from Bucharestn Romania and

Borislav Dobroykov (BBO: b_dobroyko) from Drogheda, County Meath, Ireland.
