Yahoo Groups
Bridge Groups have formed on the Internet and have taken on many forms to meet many
requirements. Sometimes it is just for the enjoyment of being represented online
and sometimes there is pertinent information for those players of a certain geographical
area. The News Groups on the Internet have undergone a significant change throughout
the years of being connected to cyberspace and a reorganization has taken place.

Yarborough
A hand with no card higher than a nine spot. The term is derived from Lord Yarborough
of England, who offered a wager with odds of 1,000 pounds to one against the chance
of any player having such a holding. The actual chance of any player holding a hand
with no card higher than a nine has been mathematically equated to 1,827 to 1. It
was not recorded whether any player actually won the wager.

Youngest Life Master
At the age of five years old Adam Kaplan became interested in the game of bridge and played with family members, but became intrigued with the game while on a cruise when the bridge director jokingly asked whether he would like to play. Adam Kaplan learned the basics of the game during this cruise and at the tender age of 10 years and 43 days he became the youngest USA Life Master as a member of the ACBL. This occurred at the St. George Duplicate Bridge Club in Port Richey, Florida, in 2006. Source: ACBL Bridge Bulletin, May 2006, Page 23. See: Kaplan, Adam
Youth Bridge Festival - International Youth Bridge Festival
The International Youth Bridge Festival began in 1986 as a cafe bridge tournament, the brainchild of Fons van Bokhoven and Jan Rijnaarts, where team games were played in the cafes of 's-Hertogenbosch, literally The Duke's Forest, (Henry I, Duke of Brabant), colloquially known as Den Bosch. Translated in French as Bois-le-Duc, in German as Herzogenbusch and in Spanish as Bolduque, and which is a municipality in The Netherlands, and also the capital of the province of North Brabant. It is located in the south of The Netherlands, some 80 km south of Amsterdam.
Teams play four-board matches at a cafe and move to another cafe to play their next match. The idea proved so successful and nearly 2,000 pairs participated in 1996. As a result of this success Fons van Bokhoven and Jan Rijnaarts set up the Bridgestad 's-Hertogenbosch Foundation to sponsor Junior bridge activities. The first International Youth Bridge Festival was played in 1993 with seven countries participating. The 1997 festival drew 22 teams, including first-time participants Canada and the U.S.A.

The inclusion of the Weak Two openings, called Optimal Twos, devised by Mr. Avon Wilsmore, also of Perth, Australia, added to the effectiveness of these opening bids since the real suit was concealed from the opponents and/or showed a particular two-suited distribution.
Yui-Bin-Had Club Opening Bids
