A new weekly duplicate exclusively for junior players is now up and running at the Young Chelsea Bridge Club. Under-26s from across the country and beyond are able to play via RealBridge on Friday evenings at 7.30pm free of charge.
Each session is scored using cross-IMPs and split into separate sections according to experience, with EBU masterpoints awarded to the leading pairs.
These duplicates are being organised by William Clennell, President of Cambridge University Bridge Club, who ran the hugely successful junior pairs initiative last summer.
For further information, contact Will at wjc41@cam.ac.uk.

Congratulations to the winners of our sixth duplicate on 26 February:
William Clennell & Dominic Cooke!

Interested in learning bridge? Know someone who might be? We can help!
For anyone whose social life is on hold, now is the ideal time to learn to play bridge. As anyone who has ever tried it knows, bridge is absorbing, fascinating and fun. It is also the most social of games—you will make many new friends and have a lifetime of entertainment ahead of you. Bridge can easily be learnt and played online and we are now offering a beginners’ course for those with no previous experience of the game. See more details, and tell your non‑playing bridge friends about it!

We hold online games every Monday and Friday at 7.30pm on BBO—payment in BB$. Please note that wherever possible we now use movements that maximise the number of pairs you meet during a session and minimise the chance of playing the same pair again. They also produce a single winning pair per session as is traditional at the club. [See more…]
