Nisar Ahmad
Mr. Nisar Ahmed, the surname also being spelled Ahmed (OEC 6th Edition), was born in 1936 and is of Karachi, Pakistan. Has attained the rank of a World Bridge Federation World Master. He placed 2nd in the Rosenblum Teams at the 7th World Championships held in Miami Beach, Florida, in 1986 with team members: Nisar Ahmad (Ahmed), Nishat Abedi, Jan-E-alam Fazli, Zia Mahmood.
It was first in 1981, in Port Chester, New York, USA, that a new entry of another newly created WBF Zone 4 (Middle East / Asia) was represented by the country of Pakistan. The team representing Pakistan had won the Inaugural Championships of the Bridge Federation of Asia and the Middle East and therefore qualified. It was to the surprise of many, perhaps more experienced participants of this event that the players from Pakistan were accepting the challenge, overcoming and being victorious over other past winners such as Poland, Great Britain, Indonesia and Australia in the round robin and even Argentina in the semi-finals. It was only against the team of Eric Rodwell, Bobby Levin, Jeff Meckstroth, Russ Arnold, John Solodar and Bud Reinhold, representing USA that the team members of Pakistan lost by 88 IMPs.

In the final match all players played 96 boards. It is also important for the bridge student to remember that there was also another, distinctive difference at this event and other events prior to 1987, and that was the method of scoring. The most important and main difference between modern scoring and the method of scoring pre-1987 is that the penalty for non-vulnerable undertricks was not as severe or damaging: 100 - 300 - 500 - 700 - etc.
Mr. Alan Truscott reported the features and highlights of this event involving Pakistan in his bridge column in The New York Times, the first time on September 23, 1986, which is only archived and preserved on this site for future reference in .pdf file format, and also on October 12, 1986, which is also in .pdf file format.
