8 Advocate (bi-monthly newsletter).
Richard Pavlicek's Home Page
(http://www.rpbridge.net/rpbr.htm):
World class site. Bridge quizzes, play of the hand, bidding,
you name it. This is the man who does all those analyses for
the hand records you get at the nation-wide Instant Matchpoint
Game. He also has a useful page full of web links (http://www.rpbridge.net/links.htm)
Bridge Conventions
(http://www.bridgeguys.com/conventions.html)

play bridge.b
OK Bridge (http://www.okbridge.com):
premier online bridge, for a modest monthly fee. World-wide
clientele, with at least a couple hundred players even in
the dead of night (FYI: India, China, New Zealand & Australia
LOVE to play at 3 am Central time). Play casual bridge for
a few hands or forever. A fairly extensive reference
library is part of their site. Also, the site has a convention
card program which you fill out (and save, of course) &
publish to other players at your table. This convention card
program also lets you print your own cards, which are acceptable
at all ACBL tournaments.
