Samuel Stayman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Samuel Stayman (1909 - 1993) was a U.S. bridge player. He was the eponym of the Stayman convention. The convention was in fact invented (independently) by Jack Marx and by Stayman's regular partner, George Rapee. It was first published by Stayman, however, in an article he wrote for the Bridge World magazine in 1945. Stayman also gave his name, spelled backwards, to the Namyats convention, invented by another partner, Victor Mitchell.
Stayman has won three Bermuda Bowls (1950, 1951, and 1953) and numerous North American Bridge Championships.
