Co-Winner of the 2021 American Bridge Teachers Association Applebasket Teaching Tip ContestBrian R Gray P.Eng, is a retired professional consulting Geotechnical Engineer. He enjoyed playing Duplicate Bridge for 5 years so much so, that he wrote this book for Newcomers and Contract Bridge players like himself who want the extra challenge of the Duplicate Bridge game format and would benefit from his mistakes/ experiences.Brian initially started writing to update his partnership agreement with his twin brother, Wayne...his regular partner for the past 4 years. He typically spent time reviewing the Hand Record results of their games, writing copious notes on what went right or wrong.Brian was fortunate to be partnered with two experienced players who mentored him on the Bridge regulations and the game itself. He thought it would be very helpful to Newcomers to the game to have the necessary information for success in a single book at their finger tips.Brian can still remember how nervous he was for his second game walking into a hall set up for 30 bridge tables, unfamiliar with Duplicate Bridge game format and not knowing a soul or having a partner!
