How did you get into bridge?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My father taught me when I was 10 years old. I\u2019ve played a lot with my brother Bas, especially in the Juniors category, and we\u2019ve enjoyed representing the Dutch Junior team. The Channel Trophy was one of the most pleasant tournaments we took part in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s your national ranking?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t participate in competitions anymore. Now I mostly teach bridge and play some online tournaments with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s your playing record?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple Dutch champion in the Youth category. And I finished second at the European Championships in Vienna. Each time with my brother Bas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s your best bridge memory?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best thing is to teach bridge to kids. That is\nwhat I enjoy the most. Also, a nice memory is when we played a tournament together,\nwith the whole Drijver family. I was the most popular partner because my\nbrothers were too competitive \ud83d\ude09 Bob refused to play with Bas, so I did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which achievement are you most proud of?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second place at European Championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting up bridge lessons in a week for the Dutch bridge federation to make bridge popular among young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s your favourite game mode on Funbridge?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One-to-one challenges. It is quite exciting to get challenged by J\u00e9r\u00f4me Rombaut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
