The Bridge Movements Encyclopedia. Duplicate Bridge Schedules,
History and Mathematics is an essential book for tournament
directors as well as bridge players curious about the history of
the game of duplicate bridge. This comprehensive volume supplies
you with all the movements ever thought of and many hundreds of new
ones. Included for each movement are the variations, modifications,
origins, authors and history of its development. Each movement is
then assessed for its measure of quality, called calibre. The
author presents a brand new event type, the Scissor movement - run
like any Howell movement. In this type of event the players play as
pairs as usual, but also have their teammates as another pair,
never meeting each other. This allows the event to be scored both
as teams and pairs, producing a winning team and a winning pair.
Duplicate bridge players will find the history of their favorite
game most intriguing. The book delves into the lives of well-known
figures such as John T. Mitchell and Edwin C. Howell. When did they
live, what did they contribute to bridge, and what were the
politics of their time? In addition, many lesser-known historical
figures are examined for their contributions to the development of
duplicate movements. For the mathematically inclined there are
plenty of interesting oddities. The mathematics of balance of
movements, giving the measure of quality, is thoroughly discussed.
The controversial debate over movement quality, along with its
history, is presented through the ideas and opinions of players and
mathematicians. IAN McKINNON is a mathematician, expert bridge
player, tournament director, author and computer professional.
Through circumstance, around 1970, he started tournament directing
at a major bridge club in Sydney which eventually led to him being
the senior Tournament Director within the Australian Bridge
Federation during the 1970s. He produced his first book, Bridge
Directing Complete, in 1979. All those years of experience, and the
last ten years of intense research and computer programming, have
resulted in this book.
