OUR UNITS NEED
YOU!
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN GOVERNANCE?
To state the obvious, bridge in the Maritimes does not just happen as a
matter of course. Each club that offers a game is run by one or more people who work
hard on your behalf for what is often little or no financial reward.
Our tournaments are organized by local club members who volunteer
their time to provide us with the best possible venues, hospitality and games. Outside
of the directors, the Tournament Chair receives $100 for incidental expenses which
often does not cover gas expenses. These dedicated and hardworking folks are many
and they do these jobs for the love of the game.
Naturally not everyone can be or is interested in getting involved in the
governance of bridge. However, we cannot expect the same people to shoulder the load
for a lifetime, either theirs or ours. Some of our players have been working hard for
our units for many years and that takes its toll.
We all have an expiry date even for volunteer work. Health matters and
family responsibilities are only two reasons why people can no longer offer their
services.
We need people like yourself to step up and offer your services. You
don’t have to be able to conduct a formal meeting, or spend countless hours in any Unit
capacity. You don’t have to be a top player, an older player, nor need any previous
governance experience to help us out. We’ll need area representatives and people to
act as tournament chairpersons. There are quite a few experienced people around to get
advice from who are just too tired to do it again. Please help us out here.
YOU really can do it! ☺☺☺☺☺

DISTRICT DIRECTOR’S REPORT - Summer 2015
My Kind of Town
The Summer NABC was held at the Chicago Hilton on Michigan Ave. across from two
beautiful parks, near fantastic cultural centres. All play was in one building, but there
were long walks to washrooms and lighting could have been better. There were many
good restaurants, bars, in walking distance or easily reachable by the EL (train). The
tournament was well run, with excellent hospitality. Attendance was excellent with
13,680 tables, 5% more than expected. This was the 2nd tournament in a row that
exceeded expectation.
The opening party on Friday night again did not disappoint with lots of nice food and
an excellent band. The Ballroom in which it was held was spectacular.
This has been a difficult year for the ACBL, still struggling with ACBL Score and
aging hardware, but one positive is ACBL Live, which gives very quick results from
NABCs, Regionals and soon from Sectionals. To sign up or get to it, go to
www.live.acbl.org.
At the end of this report, I have included a bridge article by Gary Brown. Gary is a fine
player from Nova Scotia, who moved to Australia, to make his fame and fortune
playing bridge, but mostly teaching and running clubs and bridge cruises. He wrote a
beginners book which won the IBPA Book of the Year award. In addition, before he
left he was editor of the Maritime Bridge Line. We hope he’ll be moving back to Nova
Scotia soon. He comes back to the Can-At annually, and I enjoy playing with him/
being his teammate. Thank you, Gary.
I am looking for other contributors. All I ask is that it be at most one page long and
that it be done in Word. Next one would be needed for my report after the Denver
NABC which is in November/December.
I am also listing major results by District 1 players at the NABC. The list is at the end
of this report.

6A Simple Expert Play
By Gary Brown, Wolfville
Dlr: West ♠862
Vul: Both ♥AK63 The Auction
♦KJ4 West North East South
♣AQJ Pass Pass Pass 1NT
♠K53 ♠ Q 10 9 Pass 6NT All Pass
♥ J 10 4 ♥9752
♦75 ♦98632 Opening lead: ♥J
♣ 10 8 6 5 3 ♣7
♠AJ74
♥Q8
♦ A Q 10
♣K942
Playing in a Swiss Teams event, I found myself in 6NT. With 11 toppers (1 spade, 3
hearts, 3 diamonds and 4 clubs) the chances for a 12th trick lie with a favourable lie in
the spade suit (East holding both the ♠K and ♠Q). A second possibility is a major suit
squeeze. For this to work I will need East to hold 4 hearts and 4 spades or 4 hearts and
either ♠Q109 or ♠K109. I won the ♥K in dummy and led the ♠8. East offering the
♠9, I played the ♠J which lost to West’s ♠K. With the lie of the cards, I now made the
contract as East was indeed squeezed. The position after trick 7:
♠6 Now, three rounds of diamonds (ending in dummy)
♥A6 put East under too much pressure. She had to let go
♦KJ4 of the ♠10 promoting my ♠7 into a winner. It is
♣ always satisfying making a slam on a squeeze.
♠53 ♠ Q 10 However, I figured it would be only for a push as
♥4 ♥97 the player sitting in my chair at the other table (Jim
♦75 ♦98 Kirby of Halifax) would certainly be in 6NT and
♣ 10 ♣ also bring the slam home.
♠A74
♥ Comparing scores later, I announced “plus 1440”
♦ A Q 10 while my teammate announced “plus 100”. The
♣ lead of the ♥J was the same. I voiced my surprise:
“I won the opening lead in dummy and played
the ♠8. “So did he” my teammate announced
“but I covered with the ♠Q.”
Nice play! The slam could no longer make.
It is amazing how right it usually is - in second seat - to play the Q from
Qx (x) or K from Kx (x) in such a situation. It is a simple play - but requires an ‘expert’
to be holding the cards. Our teammate – one of the top players in our unit - was the
expert holding the card. ☺☺☺
7Psyching a Pass
by John Steeves
Playing with Edward Hynes several years ago, we sat down against
the late and famous (possibly infamous) James 'Duff' Harper and his
partner, Pradip Banerjee (also deceased).
Nobody vulnerable, as dealer, I picked up:
S AJTxx
H KT9xxx
D --
C xx
Unwilling to reverse with my modest 8-count, and fairly confident I
would have another opportunity, I chose to Pass.
Banerjee also passed and Edward began the bidding with a call, I
certainly didn't expect.
“TWO HEARTS!”
Of course, Duff doubled as loudly as possible, bearing in mind we were
using bid boxes.
Without, much thought, I figured Redouble was a safe call. Banerjee
came in with 4 Spades, passed back to me.
Rightly or wrongly, I chose to double. After a pass on my left,
Edward then reached into his bag of tricks and came up with a new
surprise: FIVE DIAMONDS!
Duff's subsequent red call was actually louder than the first.
After correcting to hearts, followed by two more passes, I watched
as Duff brought out another booming double.
Redouble still seemed safe to me. After all, if Edward didn't hold the
Heart Ace, I could blame it all on him in the post-mortem.
As I laid the dummy down, Duff started to protest. “You passed with
that hand. You've got an opening hand. You psyched!”
As it turned out, Edward held
S -- H Qxxxx D Qxxxx Axx
There was nothing to the play. Eleven tricks later, we had scored our 1000
and a top board.
I'm not sure whether Duff followed through on his threat to ask that
my 'psyche' be recorded. But, after the game, several people told me that
he had complained directly to them. ☺☺☺☺☺
8CANADIAN NATIONAL TEAMS 2015
Some Slams from the Round-Robin
by Karl Hicks
The CNTC Round=Robin was held in Montreal, May 23-26. Our team was Bill
Halliday, Kathy MacNab-Halliday, Halifax, Jim Kirby, Dartmouth, Ken Eisner, Truro,
Denis Murphy, Coldbrook and myself. Using screens. Hands rotated for convenience.
Here are two slams.

that’s what I wanted to hear.
Opening lead, diamond king overtaken by the ace and the club deuce returned.
Win the club Queen, heart to the AK. Diamond ruff, Heart King takes the last trump.
Club to the dummy and claim. Push board.
We had a great team. Never an unkind word. The opposition were tough,
experienced, and pleasant throughout. Of course we all could have done better and the
round of eight is doable at a future CNTC maybe even in Ontario in 2016.
9We had a great trip and I highly recommend the experience to anyone.
It’s a chance to compete against Canada’s finest players.
In addition to the competition, I was proud to be invited to speak on behalf
of my good friend and my first bridge partner, Mr John Carruthers. He and Canadian
superstar, Allan Graves, were being inducted into the Canadian Bridge Hall of fame.
I spoke as John’s first bridge partner some 50 years ago at Mount Allison
University and Joey Silver spoke as his current and most recent partner. It was a
memorable event. While I went on to teaching and a practice marriage, John went to
work for a year in cancer research and saved up enough to go on the bridge circuit. That
year John was the first winner of the Richmond Trophy for the Canadian player
winning the most master points in a year. Subsequently, he has become known and
respected world-wide as a player, a coach, and a journalist.
After the presentation ceremony , John went on the following day to play in
the Canadian National Seniors teams with a squad that included his lovely wife, Katie
Thorpe, who is, besides being a wonderful person, a tremendous player who has
represented Canada internationally. Their team made it to the finals and won the
Championship by 1 imp against a fine team from British Columbia.
I’ll close with two more slams that Denis and I encountered. On the first one
I picked up the biggest hand that I’ve ever held.

It was a wonderful week. Playing bridge with screens is bliss for me. It
gives me an opportunity to get to know my screen-mates and realize that they are just
people who love and enjoy the game as I do. Not one of my screen-mates were the
least bit unfriendly or wearing their ‘bridge face’ which some people feel is necessary
to be successful.
Another great bridge adventure with a great partner and team-mates
against the best Canada has to offer. Thanks guys! ☺☺☺☺

for their
2016 GRAND SLAM ADVENTURE
Leaving Halifax on Sunday February 14th and off to sunny Fort Lauderdale for an
overnight stay at the Hampton Plantation Inn.
The Hampton Inn will shuttle us to the ship on Monday morning where we board
the Holland American Zuiderdam for our wonderful 11 day Caribbean cruise.
Ports of Call are: Half Moon Cay (don’t forget to rent your Clam Shell for only $16.00
and enjoy the beach and sunshine). Bonaire Island (Fabulous beaches and scenery);
Curacao (Another amazing Island, and if you are game we already know where to shop and
find the local beer!); Cartagena, Colombia (great old town and fabulous shopping);
touring the Panama Canal and visiting Gatun Lake (through the locks of the canal, a
must see experience); and Puerto Limon (so much to do and so little time – rainforests,
spectacular flora and animal life).
Your Grand Slam Adventure hosts will be inviting you to a cocktail party on
board and other Adventures when on shore.
The Bridge Program is nothing but the best – we have wonderful multi-level
clinics when at sea, and short “Chalk Talks” with Kathie & Jo Ann while Boyd &
Bill check out the town.
Not wanting to get back to the snow too soon, we have arranged a 3 day stay in Ft.
Lauderdale that includes a game of bridge at the Ft. Lauderdale Bridge Centre.
Jo Ann and Kathie have been doing cruises since 2000, and know the ports and
know the ships! Having fun at sea is our specialty! And since we have been in
every port (more than once) we know how to scoop out the best shopping, and
local beer. We can find our own tours and have great lunches in town!
Our Bridge program is courtesy of Better Bridge. We have lots of hands on
clinics with something for every level of play. Our games are ACBL sanctioned
with Bill and Boyd directing and scoring. We are all on hand to make sure
everyone has a partner, and of course making sure that our 16 board/2 hour
games run smoothly.
Our on land travel agent is Melanie Furlong, she has worked closely with us since
2012 and understands what is needed for a fun and adventurous bridge cruise.
Looking for more information – contact either Kathie: kmacnab@eastlink.ca or
Jo Ann: jlynds@eastlink.ca or Melanie Melanie@cruiseholidays.com
Winter is far too long to stay in the Maritimes – come and join the fun, and have
a GRAND SLAM ADVENTURE.
