Welcome to Essex Contract Bridge Association
Margaret Curtis International

This coming Wednesday (2nd April), there will be another 'Essex International Pairs Event'.
It is different this week as we will be playing with an 'IMP Pairs' scoring method. We will be running an IMP Pairs Event of 22 boards. So, pretend that you are playing TEAMS.  Just concentrate on making your contract.

We now have 20 different countries playing.

If you are interested in participating or have any questions, please let Marc (marc.chawner@aol.com) know, 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. If you require a partner, please let Marc know and he will attempt to find a partner for you.

Boot camps - Marc Chawner
Boot camps - Marc Chawner

 

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.

Uppsala Series On-line

In the latest match, March 20th,  Essex Saxons were represented by the first and second placed pairs from the County Pairs Championship of last Sunday.  They achieved a fantastic 20-0 VP victory. This moved our team up to 3rd with 4 matches to play.   Huge "Well done!" to Marc, Paul, Ashley & Gary.
