SoTired Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Another way that luck is in chess. Your opponent makes a bonehead play against you allowing you to win a game against a stronger opponent. Happens all the time. If you get lucky enough, you could win (or do very well in) a tournament without being near the top strongest players. Happened to me once. BTW - ANOTHER FORM OF BRIDGE: Negative Bridge: Force your opponents to make your contract. For example, if you bid 4H, you must force your opps to take 10+ tricks with hearts as trump. I overheard one top expert say that he thought Negative Bridge requires more skill than regular bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Bridge is unfair. I had all the queens, but my opponents had all the kings and aces, and they took all the tricks! And they even got 100 points for honors!! My first bridge experience in the Netherlands was at a lesbian bridge club. Someone covered my king with the queen and took the trick. When I objected, she said "it's a feminist bridge club, the queens rank higher than the kings here". But it turned out to be a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
