A proposito di nepotismo: come volevasi dimostrare le malelingue son state tacitate. Scorrendo l’elenco delle  formazioni per i Campionati Europei Giovanili di Albena,  mi sono reso conto che le “coppie” convocate hanno chi piu chi meno un decente palmares. Ho scarsa conoscenza dei rappresentanti della under 21,  tranne qualche cognome noto soprattutto per i genitori. Migliore selezione non poteva essere fatta, son tutte coppie ben rodate e di campioncini in erba, ad eccezione di  uno (Agustin Madala) già abbondantemente affermato a livello mondiale.

Scrolling through the list of the Youth Italian Teams for Albena,  I realized that all the pairs have more or less an adequate résumé. I have little knowledge of the under-21 representative but a few names best known for their parents. About the juniors (under 26)  I must admit that no better selection could be made: all pairs are well run and there are all champions in bud except one, Agustin Madala,  player already famous in the world.

 L’Eur è un quartiere di Roma ad una decina di chilometri a sud-ovest del centro; il nome è acronimo di Esposizione Universale Roma, giacché nacque per tenervi l’Esposizione del 1942, poi annullata. “Bene”, concederà l’impaziente lettore, “ma c’è un circolo di bridge o non c’è? E se c’è, che ci si fa?”. C’è. C’è e ci si gioca a bridge, e non solo. Ne ha parlato il quotidiano “Il Tempo” in un articolo di Mattia Britta del 18 febbraio scorso. Ci fa piacere: perchè è il circolo del ‘nostro’ Carlo Carpentieri, che ci onoriamo di avere nel Comitato Tecnico del Neapolitan Club,  e perchè il ‘suo’ Circolo se lo merita.

NEAPOLITAN CLUB

The ideas of system

The Neapolitan Club comes mainly from H. S. Vanderbilt ' s Strong Club (1926) and from the Culberston System (1934). It employs sound openings and overcalling, and fully protected 3NT contract. As logical corollary for such sound system, it obeys the principle “first double”: it's better to punish opponents instead of looking for our own game contract.

Contested auction

Middle strength jump overcall: 12-15 points with a good six or more card suit. Standard double, takeout up to 4. 2NT overcall: clubs and lower rank free suit, reverse strength. Direct cue-bid: game forcing.

When LHO overcalls at one level, the double is punitive. When LHO doubles, the redouble is forcing up to game or at least to level 4 in a minor.

Openings

1: 17+, but 21-22 balanced and full protected (2NT).

1, 1: 12-16. Natural 4+ card suit.

1: 12-16, sometime by 3 cards. It can happen when the opener has only clubs or when he has not a biddable suit. “Biddable” in the opening bidding is a four card suit headed at least by Q9 or J10, or any five card suit.

1NT: 13-16, balanced or semi-balanced one suited in clubs.

2: 5+ clubs, 12-16. One or two suited.

2, 2, 2: Weak one suited.

Responses

On 1: controls by steps up to 2 (six or more). Weak jump from 2to level three.

On 1, 1♥, 1♠: natural responses. Strong jump. 2NT and 3NT responses are very strong balanced (respectively: 17-18 or 16), without support in opening suit.

On 1NT (remember: it’s always one suited in clubs), all the responses are natural: 2 and 3 are support. Just 2, is a relais; the opener will bid 2and the responder will explain his hand.

Other

Neapolitan Club does not employs 5CM nor Long Suit First systems. It follows the Principle of Preparedness, i.e. “The idea, originally called Anticipation, of looking forward to the next round of bidding when selecting a bid...(ACBL Official Encyclopedia , VI ed. Page 362). Because of this Principle, the length of the suits is undefined. The only exception is when the opener has a reverse two suited hand with less than 17 points (with 17+ the opening is 1). In this case the reverse will be made bidding the short suit first (Albarran’s Canapé ).

FIRST DOUBLE!

WALSH SYSTEM

2/1 gf

A SHORT HISTORY OF INTERCITY LEAGUE

_____________________________________________________

The idea was born in 2003 when I suggested to few of my friends from all over ex-Yugoslavia that we should start some kind of competition on BBO, primarily to allow teams from small towns to be able to play serious bridge without travelling. We started in spring 2004 with only 4 teams, playing on Tuesdays nights. By 3rd edition the League was already international and we moved to Wednesdays nights. Number of teams participating was gradually growing and now is from 24 to 30 each edition. It runs twice a year (spring and autumn) and every edition we have some new teams. read more >>

Let’s talk to the champions!

___________________________________________________________

NORBERTO BOCCHI released to Neapolitan Club a long interview a little before to leave Veldhoven. The Italian Champion reports with great sincerity on the atmosphere in Veldhoven, and explains the reasons for the Italian defeat against the Dutch in the semifinals. A quite “hot” interview. (read more >>)

VALERIO GIUBILO. Nowadays the Franco-Polish financier Zaleski is the third major sponsor of Italian bridge. He is the only one that seems able to compete with the two historic giants: Angelini and Lavazza. Zaleski recently hired three top Italian players, who had previously played for the Angelini team: Lauria, Versace and Giubilo. Valerio Giubilo is seen as a major force in the composition of the new team. Giubilo, Lauria and Versace are completely interchangeable as teammates, as they have been playing the same system for a number of years. All together this was a good reason for Neapolitan Club to have an interview with the third man, Valerio Giublio. (read more)

FEDERICO PRIMAVERA. The former member of Italian Junior team nowadays partner of Francesco Angelini and Benito Garozzo granted us a long interview.

We give a follow up to previous interview with LORENZO LAURIA, September 15th 2010. Again Lauria is quite outspoken on different issues: the Reisinger Cup, the new Zaleski team, the Italian Cup, the break between Angelini and Fantunes and the related decision of Fantunes to play for Monaco.

FULVIO FANTONI, the Number One of world ranking, has kindly granted us a very long and structured interview in which he accepts to discuss all the arguments proposted. There are references, direct and indirect, to the thorniest issues and to the latest Lauria's interview. (read >>) ___________________________________________________________

If you want to understand the sarcastic joke cracked by GIORGIO DUBOIN, you have to remember this famous Esopo's tale. A hungry fox saw some fine bunches of grapes hanging from a vine along a high trellis. He tried his best to reach the grapes by jumping as high as he could. All in vain, for they were just out of reach. So the fox gave up trying, and walked away with an air of dignity and unconcern, remarking: "I thought those grapes were ripe, but I see now they are quite sour.” (read more >>)

___________________________________________________________

ALFREDO VERSACE. The Club Team Championships, the divorce from Angelini, the interview that Fantoni has released to Jan van Cleeff: these and many other topics have been discussed in a bright and sincere interview with Alfredo the Great. (read >>)

___________________________________________________________

AGUSTIN MADALA. The pair Bocchi-Madala can easily be considered as world class. Bocchi-Madala is a relatively new partnership but has achieved already some big results: with Italian Team Madala won the latest European Championship in Ostend. We were curious about the life of young Agustin and talked with him. Italian National Team, private life and bridge technique are the topics covered in this interview. (read more >>)

___________________________________________________________

NORBERTO BOCCHI has kindly granted to Neapolitan Club a long and well-articulated interview. A number of topics is referred to, each accompanied by a quote, and the Italian Ace has been invited to discuss them. The result can be considered as a little vademecum: Bridge according to Norberto.

LORENZO LAURIA has granted a long interview to Neapolitan Club in which he approached with clarity the topical issues proposed: above all the thorny affair dealing with the former team-mates Claudio Nunes and Fulvio Fantoni. Lauria expecially responds severely to some Fantunes' statements reported in the interview by Jan van Cleeff some day earlier for BridgeTopcis.com. (read >>)

___________________________________________________________

CLAUDIO NUNES and FULVIO FANTONI participated in the Onstein Patton in The Netherlands. Jan van Cleeff took this opportunity to talk with them. As both Fantoni and Nunes share the same view on the matter, they are referred to as ‘Fantunes’. (read >>)
