IMPORTANT BRIDGE PLAYERS - Terence Reese<br />
Terence Reese (born 28 August 1913 in Epsom, died 1996) is British <strong>bridge</strong> player, regarded as one of<br />
the finest players of all time, and also as one of the most influential and acerbic of <strong>bridge</strong> writers with a<br />
large output including several books which remain in print as classics of <strong>bridge</strong> play.<br />
He was one of the designers of the Acol bidding system (named after the Acol Bridge Club in north<br />
London) which has become the prevailing bidding system in Britain and many parts of the world.<br />
He played many times for England in the Bermuda Bowl, but his final appearance was marred by<br />
accusations that he and his partner Boris Schapiro were communicating illegally - in fact cheating. The<br />
outcome of an enquiry was not clear, and Reese wrote a book Portrait of an Accusation about the affair.<br />
He did not play international <strong>bridge</strong> again, but his career as a <strong>bridge</strong> writer continued unabated.<br />
In his later years Reese played little competitive <strong>bridge</strong>, enjoying Backgammon as an alternative.
