Bill Neumann learned bridge at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY, becoming an ACBL Life Master in 1972. After a long break from tournament play, he returned eight years ago and has since posted several NABC+ top-10 finishes in the last two years. A decades-long daily reader of The Bridge World, Bill writes about skill acquisition in bridge; he created the Red–Green framework and a companion flash-card system used for training and as a concise alternative to traditional system notes. He lives in Columbia, MD, and works full-time as a Principal Solution Architect and Systems Engineer at Connection (Microsoft Azure & Microsoft 365). Read his series on Red-Green at billneumann.substack.com.
