Albert Benjamin : ウィキペディア英語版 | Albert Benjamin Albert L. Benjamin (1 April 1909 – 17 January 2006) was a Scottish international bridge player who invented a popular variant on the Acol bidding system. He lived in Glasgow all his life, though his father came from Sweden and his mother from Siberia.〔"Albert Benjamin". ''Bridge Magazine''. May 1989. Reprinted in Hasenson, Peter (ed.) 2004. ''British Bridge Almanack''. 77 Publishing, London. pp. 92–94.〕 He was a leading player in his day, wrote a daily bridge column from 1937 to 1976, ran a bridge club, and was an excellent teacher of bridge. == Life == Benjamin was born in Glasgow and discovered bridge at Glasgow University, studying medicine. In 1939 he married Judy, who duly became his favourite bridge partner. During WWII Benjamin was drafted into the Ambulance (Home Defence) Service, and quickly showed what he was made of: he paid another ambulance man to take over his night shift, and made a small fortune by playing poker, winning 47 months out of 48. Nevertheless, he regarded poker as a boring and soul-destroying game.
