Drury Convention
The Drury convention is a bridge convention, used to show a game-invitational major suit raise by a passed hand while guarding against a light opening by partner in third or fourth seat. It is initiated by an artificial and forcing 2 response by the passed hand to a 1 or 1 opening by partner. The 2 bid shows at least three-card support for opener's suit with 10-12 support points and asks opener to clarify the strength of their opening hand. The convention is also known in Europe as "Toronto". Origins and purpose The convention was developed by Canadian Douglas Drury (1914–1967) and his then playing partner Eric Murray (1928–2018) to manage Murray's propensity to open light in third seat. Opening light (i.e. with marginally less than normal values) in the third seat is a common and effective bidding tactic because the player in the fourth seat may well have the best hand at the table and be poised to open the bidding given the opportunity. A third seat light opening, especia ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Buckley, Flintshire
Buckley ( ) is a town and community (Wales), community in Flintshire, North East Wales, from the town of Mold, Flintshire, Mold and contiguous with the villages of Ewloe, Alltami and Mynydd Isa. It is on the A549 road, with the larger A55 road passing nearby. Buckley is the second-largest town in Flintshire in terms of population. At the United Kingdom Census 2011, 2011 Census, its community had a population of 15,665. Toponymy Buckley's name appears as ''Bocleghe'' in 1198 and ''Bokkeley'' in 1294. It may mean "clearing of the bucks", from Old English ''bucc lēah''; however, the preponderance of an O vowel in historical forms suggests that the first element could instead be a personal name, ''Bocca''. Another contender is ''bōca'', meaning "beeches", but the fact that beech trees weren't introduced into North Wales until the 18th century argues against this. History In medieval times the area was part of three manors and lordships: Mold, Hawarden, and Ewloe. In 1420, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
