about <a href="/wiki/Contract_bridge" title="Contract bridge">contract bridge</a>, was founded in 1929 by <a href="/wiki/Ely_Culbertson" title="Ely Culbertson">Ely Culbertson</a>. It has since been regarded as the game's principal journal, publicizing technical advances in bidding and the play of the cards, discussions of ethical issues, bridge politics and leading personalities, and reports of major tournaments. </p><p>Culbertson edited TBW (assisted by a staff of well known writers and players such as <a href="/wiki/Josephine_Culbertson" title="Josephine Culbertson">Josephine Culbertson</a>, <a href="/wiki/Alfred_Sheinwold" title="Alfred Sheinwold">Alfred Sheinwold</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Samuel_Fry_Jr.&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Samuel Fry Jr. (page does not exist)">Samuel Fry Jr.</a>, <a href="/wiki/Richard_L._Frey" title="Richard L.

Morehead then became editor and continued until 1946, when Moyse took over. The McCall Corporation purchased TBW in 1963, and subsequently sold it to <a href="/wiki/Edgar_Kaplan" title="Edgar Kaplan">Edgar Kaplan</a>. Kaplan became editor and publisher in late 1966; his first issue is dated January 1967. <a href="/wiki/Jeff_Rubens" title="Jeff Rubens">Jeff Rubens</a> acted as Kaplan's co-editor until Kaplan's death in 1997, when Rubens became editor and publisher. </p><p>Largely because of its emphasis on <a href="/wiki/International_Match_Points" title="International Match Points">IMP</a> and <a href="/wiki/Bridge_scoring#Matchpoint_scoring" title="Bridge scoring">matchpoint</a> play, TBW is of interest primarily to tournament players. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Regular_features">Regular features</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Bridge_World&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Regular features"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Several features appear in each issue.

Under the Kaplan/Rubens editorship, the Editorial became a monthly feature, and occupies a privileged position, appearing directly after the table of contents. </p><p>The Editorial usually discusses issues that are both timely and of import to tournament bridge players, and from time to time provides a forum for points of view that are not shared by the editorial staff. A non-random sample of the topics that have appeared in the Editorial over the past 40 years: </p> <ul><li>Conditions of contest that reward the deliberate loss of preliminary matches</li> <li>Effective disclosure of partnership agreements, particularly in international competition where Highly Unusual Methods (<a href="/wiki/Contract_bridge_glossary#H" class="mw-redirect" title="Contract bridge glossary">HUMs</a>) are prevalent. Similarly, the ongoing tension between players who wish to use their own bidding innovations and administrators who need to protect tournaments from HUMs.</li> <li>Slow play</li> <li>Dealing effectively with <a href="/wiki/Cheating_in_bridge" title="Cheating in bridge">cheating</a> and professionalism, primarily as to <a href="/wiki/American_Contract_Bridge_League" title="American Contract Bridge League">American Contract Bridge League</a> (ACBL) tournaments</li> <li>Sex discrimination, evidenced by the existence of men-only, women-only, and open events</li> <li>Psychic bidding</li> <li>The Italian Bridge Federation's handling of the <a href="/wiki/Cheating_in_bridge#Accusation_by_Leandro_Burgay,_1976" title="Cheating in bridge">Burgay-Bianchi affair</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Master_Solvers_Club_(MSC)"><span id="Master_Solvers_Club_.28MSC.29"></span>Master Solvers Club (MSC)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Bridge_World&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Master Solvers Club (MSC)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The MSC is a combination of quiz and commentary. Several problem hands, along with the bidding so far on each, are presented and the reader is asked what call he would make (the number of problems per month has varied, but since at least the 1950s it has settled in at eight per issue). The answers to each question are given in the next issue, along with comments by expert panelists and by the panel's moderator. </p><p>This arrangement provides a means for the reader to improve his bidding skills, and to get a glimpse of the thought processes of the experts. Readers (or, in the context of the MSC, "solvers") are invited to submit their monthly scores to TBW. An annual competition is held for the highest 12-month total; the winner is invited to participate on the expert panel for a year. </p><p>For many years, the MSC was conducted by the same person each month: Samuel Fry Jr. from 1932 through 1945 and Albert H. Morehead from 1945 until his death in 1966. In January 1967, when Kaplan and Rubens took over TBW's editorship, a rotating group of directors was established: Moyse, Alfred Sheinwold, Howard Schenken, and Alan Truscott each directed the Club once every four months. Retirements, editorial disagreements, and health problems led to changes in the Club's directorship, and well known players such as Bobby Wolff, Jeff Rubens, Eric Kokish, Kit Woolsey, David Berkowitz, Larry Cohen, Bart Bramley, Danny Kleinman, Steve Landen, Karen McCallum, and <a href="/wiki/Barry_Rigal" title="Barry Rigal">Barry Rigal</a> have all served as directors. In 2005, the MSC changed from a rotation of four directors to a rotation of six. </p><p>The form of the MSC has also changed markedly over the years. It was originally conceived as a means by which readers could test themselves on the <a href="/wiki/Contract_bridge_glossary#C" class="mw-redirect" title="Contract bridge glossary">Culbertson System</a>, and for years it was held that there was only one correct answer to each problem – there being only one correct answer in the context of the Culbertson System. In the 1940s a system of partial credits was instituted, with the "correct" answer receiving 100 points and lesser awards going to other answers. </p><p>A related change occurred in 1951, when the answers provided by experts other than the director were printed, along with their comments. According to TBW's <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20071010160736/http://www.bridgeworld.com/default.asp?d=master_solver&f=mschist.html%2F">history of the MSC</a>, this was the magazine's first explicit acknowledgment that such a panel existed. The inclusion of expert comments has continued ever since. </p><p>Although most of the monthly problems concern bidding, under the Kaplan/Rubens editorship there has been one problem each month concerning leads, nearly always opening leads. </p><p>As to the problems that concern bidding, the experts' answers and comments lost clarity as the Culbertson/Goren consensus (four-card majors, strong notrump, strong two-bids, two-over-one showing only about 10 <a href="/wiki/Hand_evaluation#High_card_points" title="Hand evaluation">HCP</a>) began to fall apart during the 1950s and 1960s. The experts' answers became influenced less by judgment and more by system, some experts even abstaining on occasion because they could not use a favored treatment. When different experts preferred different systems it became difficult to reach consensus and the comments became less valuable. </p><p>Therefore, in 1967 Kaplan and Rubens instituted a poll of experts to determine their bidding preferences (e.g., four-card or five-card majors, strong or <a href="/wiki/Weak_two_bid" title="Weak two bid">weak</a> two-bids, doubles of overcalls <a href="/wiki/Negative_double" title="Negative double">negative</a> or for penalty, limit or forcing jump raises, etc.). Solvers were also invited to participate in the poll, but their role was restricted to breaking ties among the experts. The result was <a href="/wiki/Bridge_World_Standard" title="Bridge World Standard">Bridge World Standard</a> 1968, now known as BWS 68. There have been three major revisions of the system, in 1984, 1994, 2001, and 2017. BWS has always been intended as a platform for answering MSC problems, but also as a system that two experienced players could use if they had never partnered one another. Another use for BWS, perhaps intended in 1967 but never touted as a rationale, is to provide a means of tracking how expert preferences have changed over the years. </p><p>TBW regards the MSC as its most successful feature; certainly it is its longest running. It has been imitated in one guise or another by most bridge periodicals. </p><p>Several sample MSC problems, answers, and commentary can be found at TBW's <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20071019002535/http://www.bridgeworld.com/default.asp?d=article_sampler&f=samms.html%2F">web site</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Challenge_the_Champs">Challenge the Champs</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Bridge_World&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Challenge the Champs"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Challenge the Champs (CTC) is, in the words of TBW, "… a continuing bidding battle. Each month, two leading pairs compete, bidding deals from actual play (taken from old tournament reports or submitted by readers)." CTC is a feature that debuted in The Bridge Journal, a periodical edited by Jeff Rubens which was discontinued when Rubens joined the staff of TBW. At that point TBW took over the operation and the publication of CTC. </p><p>The format is to give each pair ten hands to bid, just as though they were at the table. Awards for different contracts are pre-set, and the results are scored as though they were matchpoints awarded on a 12 top. Over ten hands (again quoting from TBW): "… in the fifties is over average, in the sixties might win, higher is phenomenal." </p><p>In its original form, a pair would continue in CTC so long as it kept winning. The prior month's winners were termed the "Champs" and would compete against a new pair, the "Challengers." More recently the contest has been altered: TBW invites a pair to participate for exactly two consecutive months (first as Newcomers, then as Incumbents); if a pair wins at least one of its two matches, it is invited to return at a later time, and possibly take part in a CTC elimination tournament. </p><p>During the period that a pair could compete indefinitely, <a href="/wiki/Matt_Granovetter" title="Matt Granovetter">Matt Granovetter</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ron_Rubin_(bridge_player)" class="mw-redirect" title="Ron Rubin (bridge player)">Ron Rubin</a> established the record for consecutive wins at 10, from July 1975 through April 1976, using the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Ultimate_Club&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Ultimate Club (page does not exist)">Ultimate Club</a>, a strong club system with many <a href="/wiki/Relay_bid" title="Relay bid">relay</a> sequences.

The general difficulty level is just a little lower than in Test Your Play.</li> <li><b>Tournament reports</b>: These were nearly always written by Edgar Kaplan from the time that he purchased TBW until the mid-1990s. They cover the major ACBL events and world championships, although reports of events held by other sponsoring organizations occasionally appear. The approach is to discuss hands that were of particular interest, or that caused major swings in a match. Since 1997, authorship of the reports has been distributed among various reporters, part of the emphasis that Rubens has placed on broadening the magazine's perspective.</li> <li><b>Swiss Match</b>: Usually authored by Jeff Rubens, this feature appears three times annually. It poses seven problems in bidding or play, in the form of a <a href="/wiki/Swiss_system_tournament" class="mw-redirect" title="Swiss system tournament">Swiss match</a>. The reader is given a raw score for each of various actions that he might take.
