At 7pm on 18 September we will be playing a Swiss Pairs Event. This will involve playing 6 x 4 Board Matches.

We now have 20 different countries participating in this event which is absolutely free to enter.

Note that for this week's event, there is no guarantee that you will always be playing International Players on every round. On some rounds you may come up against some 'Essex Defenders'.

If you are interested in participating in this event on Wednesday 18 September, please let Marc know (marc.chawner@aol.com), so that he can send you a RealBridge event link. When you request a RealBridge event link, please let Marc know who you will be partnering. Also note that your proposed partner does not necessarily needed to have been invited (it probably just means that Marc does not have their email address). If you require a partner, please let Marc know and he will attempt to find a partner for you.

Following the Boot Camp on 12 May  Marc Chawner has now produced a new guide Know your Percentages to add to; Defence, Play in a No Trump contract and Play in a Suit contract 

Most of the best players in Essex were set the task of playing the hands in each category -  not always successfully.

See if you can do better, if not with Marc's hands maybe the next time you play at the club.

 Download the PDFs Defence, No trump, Suit contracts, Know Your Percentages

They will give you everything you could ever want to know!

Once again the ECBA would like to express their sincere gratitude to Marc for this formidable work.
