SOLERA AT ANTHEM

You may recall the delivery of the Sunday newspaper, thick with all sorts of sections, including game pages with crossword puzzles, chess-game moves, and even a bridge-hand diagram. The later likely carried the byline of Charles Goren, whose nationally syndicated bridge column debuted in the Chicago Tribute in the summer of 1944.

​

Contract bridge, or simply “bridge" to most people, involves two teams of two players each. A game comprises 13 tricks and uses all 52 cards in a standard deck.

​

Meeting to play bridge is the Solera Party Bridge Club, which takes over the MGM Room from 12:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

 

What’s different about this bridge group? The way we score games. In regular bridge, contract bridge, scoring is based on full games with a continuity of partners for the entire day. In party bridge, we change partners from time to time.

 

The club has no dues and will work with newcomers who have a basic knowledge of the game of bridge.
