Contract Bridge

Basically what the title says.

Presently, when we talk about "competitive chess", we mean Duplicate. However, I know people still play Rubber and/or Chicago when it comes to "social bridge" or "kitchen table" bridge.

Just being curious, do any of you still play Rubber or Chicago ? And why ?

An article which might be of interest to people starting out, and in general, everybody.

The original Wall Street Journal article has been paywalled since this came out - so posting a wayback url.

Prodding through this earth-shattering silence in this community for over two weeks - here I decided to debut with an opening post.

Nothing special - just comment with what bidding systems ya'll play, how long you have been playing Bridge, and any other interesting thing about you that you want to share.

To start with - I am an intermediate level 2/1 GF player, started getting into Bridge a couple of years ago - after playing Chess for over two decades.

Apart from BridgeWinners, I joined the Bridge Subreddit just in search for civilized Bridge discussions.

After the Reddit API saga - I jumped ship and landed in Lemmy.

So far liking it here. Would like more if people continue the discussion.

Next ?

Welcome to Lemmy, all the Bridge Addicts !

I am an Intermediate hobbyist player (2/1 GF). I was a lurker (but did post reasonably as well lol) in r/bridge.

I noticed that Lemmy was sorely lacking a community on Bridge, and so I created one.

Welcome once again !
