- about me
Chessmaster (used to be Ranked 50th in Canada)
Had taken up club level bridge 5 years ago. I devote a good amount of time to studying bridge. I am a solid player, regularly winning or placing in various club events with pick up partners. I am interested in playing in national events in the top brackets. I have won (as a team-player) a couple of zip knockouts in NABC events)
I primarily play in midwest area but am willing to travel to various regionals.
Currently studying Rudinesco, Martens etc
