1962 Bermuda Bowl

[nikos59]

The Vugraph Project team is proudly announcing

yet another major offering from the past,

the Italy v North America match from the 1962 Bermuda Bowl.

 

You can find most of the deals of the match

at:

Unfortunately, the hand records are not 100% complete. To save

space, the official book has omitted several (not that many)

flat boards. On the other hand, they had a good reason to

save space: Great Britain was also playing and these

matches are featured too, so we may well offer them in

the future.

 

 

Kudos for this offering goes (again!) to our Denis O'Kane who

did all the work and also offers the "interactive" pf-format

of lin files.

Does anyone have difficulty opening these .lin files on Nikos's site as bridge movies.

 

Reason I ask is that someone asked for help on rec.games.bridge and the first response was from someone who gets a text file on the screen when he clicks one of the files. He then goes through a convoluted process of copying to the clipbord and into a text editor before saving as a .lin file in Explorer

 

I had assumed that by installing the BBO software, there was an automatic association of the .lin extension with NetBridgeVu.exe which would always open a .lin file as a bridge movie, rather than a text file or something else.
