MAKING LIFE MASTER - ACBL District 9district9acbl.org/SBN/2013_05/SBNVol9No5_22_43.pdf · the only milestone recognized by ACBL -- no Silver, no Gold, ... MAKING LIFE MASTER ... play

23www.District9ACBL.org22 ACBL District 9

Truly, for those of us who play duplicate bridge, there aren't too many milestones "bigger" than achieving the rank of Life Master. I was reminded of this when a member of District 9, in conversing by email with our 21st century guru, Jay Whipple, about the Fast Results at the Sarasota-Manatee Regional, proudly announced to him that she had become a Life Master by sending him this little gem of a cartoon, in an email.

Then I started wondering about other Life Master stories. I know my own: we went to the Southeasterns in 1978 when I had 290 masterpoints and Phil (husband and partner) had 280. We both possessed 24.93 gold points. Imagine our excitement when we came in second overall in the Mixed Pairs (yes, that was an event, back then) and earned 22 gold points! Over we went, and with way more than the .07 gold to fulfill that part of the requirement.

Gail Rust wrote to us in response to our request for stories about how you started

playing bridge, but her story includes a Life Master party. At the time Gail is talking about, Life Master was " the end of the road". It was the only milestone recognized by ACBL -- no Silver, no Gold, no Diamond, no Emerald and

no Platinum. Does anybody know if there was Grand, back then? Anyway,

here's Gail Rust's story, about another very well

known lovely lady of bridge who had a

party thrown for her reaching Life Master. Gail Rust, Jeanne Stenger

and Billy Seamon are/were highly

respected bridge players (Billy, of course, the world

champion and father of two world champs, Michael , and

Janice).

My husband, Paul Rust, was broadcaster for Billy Seamon's Television Bridge Show in Miami in 1957. He was telling Billy that I was expecting and he hoped I would be a stay-at-home mother, but he doubted it because I was definitely a career woman. Billy asked if I played cards. Paul said "a little, years ago." Billy said "Send her to me."

I arrived at the Coral Gables Bridge Club and learned about weak two bids. Billy invited me to a party next week. It was a Life Master party for Jeanne Stenger. What is a Life Master? I played with an unsuspecting volunteer and had

the all-time low score. I enjoyed the excitement and everyone was nice and helpful. I learned I could open a one bid. I was hooked.PS Jeanne Stenger became my good friend and regular bridge partner.

Here is SBN Columnist Barnet Shenkin's Life Master story.

I started to play bridge when I was 11 years old. I became a Scottish Life Master in 1969, and played for Scotland and Great Britain in international competitions between 1971 and 1998. Then in 1998, I changed my lifestyle and moved to USA to play and teach bridge. My wife, Maggie, quickly became a Life Master, but I was not, as I did not play silver point events. In 2001, my team lost in the final of the US team trials, so I missed the opportunity of playing for USA in the Bermuda Bowl as a non-Life Master. In 2006, my team did reach the quarter final of the Rosenblum World Championship and I still was not a Life Master.

By the year 2011, I still had not made it, with 4,750 points, mainly platinum achieved in national events. I played a club game with my friend Rich Coren, which unknown to me gave silver points.

About two weeks later I received a letter from the president of the ACBL, congratulating me, and informing me that I had achieved Life Master status, and was now eligible to play with the country's finest players. The player status was published in the ACBL Bulletin, and while I was commentating on BBO, I got various friendly but humorous comments from

spectators, congratulating me on reaching Life Master, and stating that previously my commentaries were pretty good for a

non-Life Master!

So I became a US Life Master 42 years after I made Life Master for the first time.

How about somebody whose Life Masterdom was announced in the New York Times? A gentleman named Stan Slater, from our very wonderful collection of players in Palm Beach County, once wrote to Alan Truscott to tell him about this occurrence. Stan was defending a hand when his LHO opened Two Diamonds, Flannery (four spades and five hearts with an opening hand). The auction proceeded: pass, pass, pass. The dummy was 1-2-5-5 with not very many HCPs and was hoping this was their best chance for a plus score, hence his pass. Stan knew his partner would win the first trump trick with the 4 of trumps (as long as declarer cooperated by leading the deuce from dummy, with Stan contributing the 3 from J1093). Stan knew from the opening lead that his partner had only two clubs (led J, and the 10 was in evidence) and Stan held just two clubs as well, so declarer was 4-5-0-4 on that auction of two diamonds all float. The dummy's diamonds (trump) were something like KQ872.

When Stan made Life Master, Truscott wrote in his column that Stan was most likely THE best bridge player who ever took 34 years to become Life Master. Stan, who lived in Brooklyn, NY, had played in the Metropolitan Commercial League and had taught bridge extensively, but hadn't made the time to attend tournaments. Stan is now continuing to teach and help run a bridge club in and around Century Village in Boca Raton, and he still doesn't attend many tournaments.

MAKING LIFE MASTER– by Muriel Altus


Now let's return to our artist. Here's what Jo Baillie writes about her Life Master achievement and her expressing-my-happiness drawing.

Muriel Altus of the Sunshine Bridge News invited me to share the cartoon (on the cover and at the beginning of this article) that I illustrated and emailed to my friends announcing my achievement of LIFE MASTER. I hope it makes you smile.

She also asked me to tell my story of my trip to Life Master.

In 1959, wearing a freshman “Green Beanie”, I was cutting through the Campus Club between classes at Butler University. Three Sigma Chis called me over to their table and asked me if I played bridge. When I said, “No,” these upper class fraternity guys asked me to sit down because they “needed a fourth”, and they began teaching me. What fun! I was hooked that first day when I learned about the finesse. Throughout the years, I have made so many wonderful friends playing bridge. Finding a social bridge group was a top priority as I changed residence over the past 54 years. About 8 years ago, I began reading and learning about duplicate bridge. When my husband and I retired and began wintering on Marco Island, I took a few lessons at the Naples Bridge Center and liked the fact that my competition was playing the exact same hands that I was dealt, unlike social bridge.

One summer (2008) in Lake Geneva, WI, I met one of my partners, Leslie Phelps (Life Master) playing duplicate bridge for money above the Lake Geneva Police Station. In 2010, Leslie gave me a 2/1 book to study when I returned to Florida for the winter. When I met Leslie at the next Regional, she said she did not

play SAYC any longer and that we would play 2/1! What a wonderful friend and partner to take such a chance on me at that Regional! The best thing about my partner, Leslie, is that she always points out how well I play a hand and simply smiles or laughs and says, “I’ve done that before” when I make a mistake. Or perhaps, Leslie might mention how we could bid a hand that did not turn out so well, on our ride home. Together we are always striving to learn anything new that will help us play our best

In October 2011, I earned 2.78 gold at the Naples Regional for a total of 4.97 gold points and thought I would be old and decrepit before earning my Life Master. At the 2012 Sarasota-Manatee Regional, I earned 9.42 gold for a total of 12.20 gold! I was more hopeful. I traveled back to Lake Geneva, WI for the summer and played in the 2012 Crystal Lake Regional earning 7.61 gold. In July at the 2012 Summer Fest Regional, I earned 5.84 gold. YEA! 25 GOLD POINTS!!! However, I still needed around 45 more “any-color” points for my Life Masters. I set my sights on helping my other partner, Lynn Van Pouke, earn her remaining gold points. Lynn and I are partners during the winters in Naples. Lynn’s excellent play has helped me earn a lot of points over the last few years.

So, when I travelled to the 2013 Sarasota-Manatee Regional in February, I only needed a little over 10 points to achieve my goal. On Saturday, my partner Leslie Phelps (Vero Beach) and I teamed up with my other partner Lynn Van Pouke (Naples Bridge Deck) and her friend, Nick Wagener (Ellenton, FL). We won 6 of the 7 rounds earning just enough points to make me a LIFE MASTER. If I could have cartwheeled out of there, I would have! Ha! Don’t you just love the game of BRIDGE? I do!

To round out our collection of old and new Life Masters, we introduce you to Carriemae Marquess. Sue Smith, Unit 219's Liaison to the SBN, had been hoping to include Carriemae's story, within the Unit 219 pages. When I read it, I wanted it to complete our small sample of District 9 Life Masters. Dr. Carriemae Marquess from Tallahassee became a new Life Master and Bronze Life Master at the January 2013 Orlando Regional, and celebrated her 93rd birthday a week later. In spite of macular degeneration and chronic tendonitis, she manages to get to the bridge table almost daily. She started playing in tournaments the past couple of years, and is always searching for those close to home to attend. Carriemae says she plays to keep her mind active and to scare away Alzheimer's disease. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, she grew up in the family's large boarding house. Her father was a tailor and a chef, so it is no wonder that Carriemae developed a love for Home Economics. Carriemae's mother was a confident, resourceful business woman and influenced her daughter in many ways. She strongly believed that a good education is the most important asset a person could have. It was a thing that "no one could take away from you." It built character and confidence, opened doors and made you your own person. She sent Carriemae to the best schools in Boston. Carriemae graduated with honors in 1937. Her first venture to the South was to attend Florida A&M University (FAMU), where she graduated as valedictorian in 1941. She returned to Boston and helped her mother in the family business for a while, then attended Columbia University and earned her Master's

Degree in 1945. A short time later, she came to Tallahassee for a football game and the president asked her to come and work at FAMU as a Home Economics teacher. It was there that she met and married Joseph Marquess. She moved to Iowa and between raising a family, studying and teaching, she earned her Doctorate in 1958 from Iowa State University. Moving back to Tallahassee, Carriemae continued to teach and act as Institutional Food Department Head until her retirement in 1989. A large number of her students returned to Tallahassee to attend her 90th birthday party and to personally thank

her for the life-changing influence she had on them.

Carriemae still lives in the house near

FAMU campus with her daughter, Josette and grandchildren, Michael and Elizabeth, where she

raised her family and cared for her mother,

aunt, and grandmother until they died. Occasionally,

Carriemae, an early riser, bakes cakes and cookies for the Capital City Bridge Club. One of her major hobbies is creating Faberge-like eggs, using a wide variety of eggs. In addition to all her other interests, Carriemae oversees her family rental property and finds time to play the organ for her church. However, her most outstanding quality is her tremendous and sustaining love of life which is filled with a marvelous sense of humor. She laughs often, both at herself and at life in general. Carriemae has truly learned that happiness comes from living life in the present, unafraid and eager for new experiences.

Another hectic season is drawing to a close, and we wish our snowbirds Godspeed as they travel to their regular residences. We look forward to seeing them in the fall, but will enjoy the slower pace of summer in Sarasota! May and June are busy months for us as we have three events coming up this year. Our Spring Sectional is May 16-19 at Pine Shores Community Center. Get your partners and teams lined up and plan to attend. Our Anniversary Swiss is on Sunday, June 23 at Temple Sinai. We will have a special fun event involving winning a game with one of our local experts. So get your teams together and make reservations so we can accommodate you! Unit 102 will be participating in ACBL’s The Longest Day fundraiser on Friday, June 21. It will generate funds for the Alzheimer’s Foundation. Plans are still in the works, and we will let you know as soon as they are finalized. I would like to add my congratulation to Iris Wilson and Jay Richman for their being named Volunteers of the Year in the Sarasota County Schools. This is for their after-school Bridge Program at Gocio Elementary School. It is a labor of love for them, and they really put their hearts into it. Great Job!

Congratulations!

VOLUNTEERS HONORED Iris Wilson and Jay Richman have been selected as Volunteers of the Year by the PALS Organization for their work teaching bridge in an after-school program at Gocio Elementary School. They were nominated for this award by the students and teachers at the school. The PALS Organization is part of the County Schools network and stands for “Partnerships and Alliances Linking Schools.” Iris and Jay have been sponsored for the past three years by Unit 102, Suncoast Bridge Association, in their efforts at the school. Their dedication and enthusiasm for their work is tremendous. We salute them for the incredible amount of time and effort they have put forth for their students. UNIT 102 BOARD JOTTINGS The Unit 102 Board is concerned about finding an adequate playing site for the January Sectional next year. Sandi Murray, after an extensive search of alternative facilities, found that Sahib was willing to rent two additional rooms for a very fair price which would alleviate the crowding that made this year’s tournament too tight a fit. The Manatee Convention Center, the site of the Sarasota-Manatee Regional has raised its costs of catering significantly. The catering at last February’s regional, which was Unit 128’s year to assume prime responsibility, reflected these increases through no fault of the organizers. Russ Delaney and Sandi Murray, who have agreed to co-chair the 2014 event, with Carol Hamilton as Hospitality chair, have made it their first order of business to engage in negotiations to either reduce the cost of catering or to obtain permission for the Unit to bring some food into the event. There may also be a slim chance of finding a satisfactory alternative venue. Harriette Buckman is working on two initiatives for the Board. She will be working on the procedures for electing Board members and making recommendations for


improvement of the process. More immediately, she is setting up Unit 102’s participation in an ACBL charity initiative to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association called “The Longest Day” (June 23). See the ACBL Bridge Bulletin, February issue, pages 28-29 for details. Russ Delaney, Dick Fleischman, and Jim Russell were appointed to form the Unit’s budget committee. The 2013 budget was approved. The committee recommended to the Board that the chairs of the sectionals, the regional, and special events should submit their budgets by November of the preceding year with explanations of proposed deviations (both increases and decreases) from the prior year’s actual line items. The first Special Fund Game as per the ACBL’s new charity initiative will be held at the May Sectional on the Saturday of the May Sectional at 3:00 P.M. The Grass Roots Fund was designated as the supported charity.

At the end of the regular Friday night duplicate game at the Tampa Bay Bridge Center, everyone was talking about board 9. I had arrived late to the game and was relegated to the role of kibitzer. Sitting behind south at table 10 was always exciting because that was the home table of Bold-Bidding Bob and his partner Raisin' Richard. They played board 9 against Alex (the accountant) and a distinguished stranger from the north.

Bold-Bidding Bob, known as BBB, paid his entry fee and loved to bid. His partner, never quite sure what Bob was bidding on, would raise almost any time he had trump support (which explains how Richard got his nickname). If Bob's hand was good, the raise was essential; if Bob's hand was bad, it turned out to be preemptive. Either way, BBB controlled the show.

Alex spends every workday poring over numbers; bridge was no different. He constantly counted and recounted his points, and was quick to refer to his point count in all post mortems. Alex would overcall an enemy 1NT opening with two spades holding:

♠-A5432 ♥-K42 ♦-A64 ♣-KJ

then, after gong for -800, would explain how he held 15 points ...

Okay, I can't keep still any longer! The teaching instinct is too great in me...So here I go with a tip for defenders... If the opponents stop bidding at a low level and you and partner decide to defend, there must be a reason. You and your partner are marked for some high cards and there is a reason you did not compete further. Maybe there is a trump stack in one of your hands, maybe neither of you had the kind of values you judged to be sound for competing, you both passed and now you are on lead. For God's sake ATTACK! Do not look for a safe lead, ATTACK! Lead from a K, a Q , or even a KJxx combination. It's a race, you need to establish your tricks before declarer establishes his. Leading from a Kxx frequently cost little, for even if pard does not have a high honor, you will still make the K most of the time. Leading from an unsuported Q is more dangerous but it does have the advantage that even if partner holds any one of 3 cards, the A, the K or even the J, the lead may well have created a trick. Leading from a KJx or KJxx combination is something most players will shun, but it can pay off when partner is marked for some high cards and you find him with either the A or Q of the suit! The real Key is determining whether pard has some stuff! You have heard the auction and you know what is in your hand. What's left for pard? If he has "stuff ", lead aggressively, if not go passive, do not give anything away unless you have reason to think that you can create a trick for your side.

Here is a common example:–Your RHO opens the bidding with 1♦–you pass–your LHO responds 1♥–partner shows some life by overcalling 1♠–RHO raises to 2♥–and you, with a flash of brilliant bravery make the pre-emptive raise to 3♠!–LHO brushes your bravery aside and calls 4♦!–After pard's pass, you hear 5♦ on your right. That ends the auction and it is your lead.

Leading partner's suit seems normal, but wait a minute…what would that accomplish?They have shown game values and in a minor that means at least a Q better than if they were contracting in a major. So, even if partner's overcall was "skinny" let us try not to give up a trick, let us try to build one.Here is the whole hand:

♠Q J10xx♥Ax♦xx♣Jxxx

♠xx ♠Kx♥KQxx ♥Jxx♦Kxxxx ♦AQxxx♣Ax ♣Kxx

♠Axxx♥1098x♦x♣Qxxx

Note that the lead of the ♠A gives up the contract. Any other lead probably beats the contract. But what if declarer or dummy has a stiff spade, could it not go away if you don't lead partner's suit? YES! And few partners are tolerant when a contract makes because you did not lead the suit they bothered to overcall.

So let us give opponents a singleton ♠. The contract will make anyway because they only have 2 losers! And if they have 2 losers in ♠ and you did not lead them, well…apologize and tell them it is Harry's fault. The major point is that on defense it is your job to discover and build tricks for your side, not free up tricks for the opponents.Here is another example: The auction has proceeded very rapidly...1♠ on your right and 4♠ on your left, all pass... Dummy comes down and shows very little:

♠KJxxx ♥xx ♦Qxx ♣xxxxYou are on lead with:

♠10xx ♥AKxx ♦J10x ♣KJxx You start with a high ♥ and pard plays the 8...Declarer follows with the 6...what can you deduce about the hand and how do you proceed? You can figure that pard has a doubleton, but you also know that he has no trump! He also knows that you at least suspect he has few, if any, trumps, so the card he plays is suit preference. Declarer has 5♠ and 5♥. Hurry if you want to get yours.Here is the whole hand:

♠KJ9xx ♥xx♦Qxx♣xxx

♠10x ♠x♥AKxx ♥82♦J10x ♦AKxxx♣KJxx ♣Qxxxx

♠AQxxx♥Q J10xx♦xx♣A

Now had your pard held the ♣A rather than the ♦A, as in ♠x ♥xx ♦Kxxxx ♣Axxxx He should/would have played the ♥2. This is only suit preference because the inability to overtrump dummy is quite likely. Interesting hand...South opened and stole the hand when North blasted 4♠. For most players the 5 level was really too rich for entering the auction with a very unusual 4NT!

DEFENSE–BY HARRY ROSS

Harry Ross was a popular contributor to the Sunshine Bridge News for several years. When he passed away, his wife Susi offered us his unpublished

articles. We are pleased to have the space to run this one for you.

bid 2NT and Bob leaped to 4♠ As usual, Alex recounted his points: 18 highs and a stiff spade. His partner had opened the bidding in first seat and had then bid NT ... his mind was computing. Could he make 6♥? Could the stranger make 6NT? Maybe, maybe not. Being a conservative fellow and holding at least four defensive tricks (not to mention those held by partner), he elected to double, settling for a "sure" plus score of at least 500 and maybe more. He led the ♦K to take a look at dummy.

But when diamonds broke 3-3, Alex's +500 was changed into -590. Bob lost only one spade, one diamond and one club. Alex moaned about his bad luck. He couldn't believe that, with 31 combined HCPs, he and his partner couldn't defeat 4♠. Among his mumbling could be heard: "worthless two-suited hands; the luck of Bob; the unfairness of the game; and how coming in 5th gave him only .17 masterpoints to raise his total to 493.57."

The distinguished stranger noted that the hand could have been defeated with a ♣ or trump lead. After A trump lead and perfect defense, the result is down two.

Alex quickly calculated that defeating four spades would have brought them up to 4th place. "Let's see; that would be .21 masterpoints, bringing my total up to 493.61..."

The Unit 128 Board of Governors voted to begin giving Scrip for First Place Overall in 2 or 4 Sessions Events Only starting with the Southeastern Regional 2013. The scrip is good for ONE Session of Free Play Entry. The scrip must be claimed at the Regional where it is won. A special desk will be set up to give out the First Place Overall scrip. Scrip is Non Redeemable for Cash. Scrip is Not Replaceable if Lost. A Pairs Event will earn two pieces of scrip; a Team Event will earn four pieces of scrip.

The Scrip may only be used at Unit 128 Regional Tournaments. Unit 128 Regionals are as follows:

Manatee/Sarasota Regional – odd yearsSoutheastern RegionalPalm Beach Regional in 2013Jacksonville Regional in future yearsNaples RegionalDaytona Regional

The Unit 128 Board of Governors also voted to discontinue the Senior Breakfast held on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of Regionals. This decision was based on the fact that Volunteers were up early to have the Continental Breakfast ready and VERY few people attended.

My thanks to Bruce Greenspan, an ABTA Master Bridge Teacher, who is offering a Free Seminar to beginners/intermediate players on Mondays of most Unit 128 Regionals. All players are welcome. Past seminars have been super successes. Following the 10:00 am Seminar, Bruce holds a Free Duplicate Game from 1:00 - 3:30 pm for players with 0-25 Masterpoints. The Free Duplicate Game is a Relaxed Rules, No Partner Required, Stress Free Game, and you can also win Masterpoints.

Unit 128 territory includes all blue areas on the map, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

99er Birthday

Neil Evangelista tells us that the Boca Raton DBC had a party that gave new meaning to the term "99er". They were wishing happy 99th birthday to one of their regular players, Leone Goldsmith. Neil says he can't wait until next year!The Tampa Bay Bridge Center is enjoying two exciting renovations In October, Myree Baer's daughter, Laura Roman, came to "dedicate" the new enhanced handicapped entrance, with railings plus special door design given to the Bridge Center in Myree's memory. The gift completely transformed the entry with both beauty and utility.

Myree had mobility issues near the end of her life but didn't let them keep her from the bridge table. It will be easier for all players in the future, thanks to Myree's family.

The second renovation involves the overcrowded parking lot. Through the efforts of players Norman Poythress and John Harlowe, an agreement was made to construct a walking bridge between the MacDonald Funeral Home and Cremation Service's parking lot and that of the Bridge Center. As long as the funeral home doesn't need its parking during game time, the players are allowed to park there. Owner Lowell MacDonald turns out to be a true neighbor!

John Harlowe happens to be a newly minted Life Master and an active member of the Tampa club. After he earned the requisite gold points that had previously eluded him, at the Tampa Regional in December, he thanked teammate Suzanne Casey with a dozen roses. He had something even more special in mind for partner Sharon Wallace. It's not every bridge player who possesses classic collector-quality homemade duplicate boards. John saved them since inheriting them from his dad (their crafter) and now Sharon and husband Wally have a very special way to have two tables of home bridge. Nice! Congratulations, John, and enjoy, Sharon.

TBBC President Nancy Hill, Myree's daughter, Laura Roman, and one of Myree's steady partners, past president of the club Ken Mason
