Erikas Vainikonis and his father Vytas are terrific bridge players and have supported the game very generously. Their brilliant new website, BridgeScanner, gives us all a fuss-free location to get the information we need on tournaments around the world, including live running scores. Their other gift is a five-day mini festival, starting with the Grand Prix of Poland Teams and Pairs and finishing with two days playing the highly prestigious Vilnius Cup. Impeccably organised, super friendly and with a world-class field, it is held in Vilnius, the beautiful capital of Lithuania. This year’s final saw the two Vainikonis teams facing each other with Erikas’s squad emerging the winner. Many congrats.
