Playing Bridge

Charles H. Goren was studying law at McGill University when a girlfriend made fun of his ineptitude at the game of bridge, a game similar to whist. For Goren, the gauntlet had been thrown down. He immersed himself in the game, began to compete, and became a leading authority on contract bridge, developing a new high card point counting system. He taught the game through his books — especially, Contract Bridge Complete and Winning Bridge Made Easy — columns, articles and TV shows. Charles Goren was born on March 4,1901.
