Bridge Game
At the card table, Albarran played in the team at the French Open, which won the Bermuda Cup in 1935, and, with a slightly changed composition, went to New York at the end of that year to participate in a match that could be called the first team championship world bridge. Subsequently, Albarran represented France in more than 30 international bridge competitions and won 19 national championships. His contribution to the development of the theory of the trading system in the bridge lies in the formulation of the canapé approach and the creation of a convention , which later became known as Roman two-suiters. After the death of Pierre Albarran, Albert H. Morehead noted that Albarran was almost unknown in America, "but it is quite possible that he had a greater influence on the theory of trading tactics than the theories of any other players from other countries." [4] After the French Comandade won the first International Bridge Olympiad three months later, Morehead wrote that an American in a French bridge club would discover one big difference in bridge language: the canapé tactic, which was formulated by Albarran and which was “accepted by millions players all over Europe. ” [five]
