ПРОИЗХОД

Coriolan Neamțu was born in 1925 in Satu-Mare, in a family of Transylvanian intellectuals. He was a graduate of the Faculty of Law and the Academy of High Commercial and Industrial Studies in Bucharest. His particular interest in bridge allowed him to overcome professional dissatisfaction, inherent in the communist regime, and to dedicate himself passionately to the game. He was an active promoter and organizer of the game of bridge in Romania, tournament director, and bridge teacher. Coriolan Neamțu wrote and published the magazine "Expert Bridge" between 1970-1983 (the year when bridge was officially banned in Romania), printed and circulated in hundreds of copies in quasi-clandestinely. As a journalist by profession, having a column in national magazines and newspapers, and many contributions to prestigious foreign magazines, he wrote several works of bridge literature: "Competitive Bridge" (1973), "Fun Bridge" (1982), "Start Bridge" (1990), "Humorous Bridge" (1991), and "Bridge Conventions" (1991). As a great animal lover, the author published a book titled "The Dog, Man's Best Friend" in 1979, which was very successful at the time of its release. In 2000 he published a volume of maxims and thoughts "Restitutio in absurdum". He was a member of the Jockey Club Romania, the International Association of Bridge Journalists, the vice-world champion of the IBPA bridge in 1992 in Salsomaggiore, and editor of the bridge column in the magazine "Free Time", the weekly supplement of the newspaper "Free Romania".
