Bridge Problems

This set of problems was published in Impulse, the official organ of Winthrop Laboratories.  Many, if not most, were devised by Douglas Maxwell. Publication ceased in the late nineteen-eighties.

Over a number of weeks you'll be presented with a new challenge to tickle your brain cells and keep you busy when you can't get to the Bridge Club. We hope you enjoy the experience.

You may find it easier to come to grips with a problem if you lay out the cards rather than gazing at a computer screen. Later we'll set up printable pdf versions for you. These might be handy entertainment on those long overseas flights.

Usually we'll post a new problem for you each week (except in summer when you need sunshine). Thanks to Bert for his help.
