Patrick Darricades

PATRICK DARRICADES (Canada) is a bidding theorist. He learned to play Bridge as a teenager and quickly became more interested in the theory of the game rather than in playing it competitively. His studies of the statistical work of J-R. Vernes (conceptor of the Law of Total Tricks) led to his first two books on Optimal Hand Evaluation and now to this one, on relay bidding.
