My name is René Grothmann. I have learned Bridge 50 years ago from expert players. In spite of some success on the club level, I wasn't really an outstanding player, and maybe I'm still not. Unfortunately, I then took a 40 year hiatus in Bridge, concentrating on other things. Playing only rarely is not a good way to improve. You need a good partnership and regular play to advance, plus the time and the will to go to tournaments.
At least, it is now possible to play online, even if you have no inspiring partner. IntoBridge was the server that I liked the most. You play with their robot Lia and can enjoy to be compared against other players. There is a rank system, daily hands against a celebrity, and a daily 12 hand tournament. You can also create free tables and use them for teaching. Subscribed players can talk and use the webcam. Subscription is a moderate monthly payment. There are other options with a wider user base, like BBO and Fun Bridge, but I found IntoBridge to be the most pleasant for me.
This blog is mainly for my own. These days, people do not read blocks anymore, although there are half a billion blogs in the world. We now watch videos. But I enjoy writing here every now and then.
I restarted the blog in 2026 a few times with a different approach. Currently, it is about learning Bridge. Let us see, if that draws some attention.
