Shri UNN Rao

This tournament is held in the memory of Shri U. N. NARAYANA RAO who passed away at the age of 95 in 2021.

Starting from a humble early life in villages around Mangalore (Karnataka), U. N. N. Rao went on to study Chemistry at Banaras Hindu University and Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and retired as Chief Commissioner of Income Tax Karnataka and Goa.

He took up bridge during his first posting as an Income Tax Officer in Kolhapur, and continued playing, with his wife Gouri as partner, in Belgaum, Bangalore, Madras, Chittoor, Calcutta and Bombay.

After retirement, he played every day in Bangalore all the while mentoring and teaching bridge to bridge enthusiasts. He won many tournaments, both team and pairs, with the last one being the Bangalore City League Tournament at the age of 90.

He even authored an unpublished book dealing with a variant of the Precision System titled, “System Notes” for the benefit of his bridge partners.

We dedicate this tournament to his memory and thank his family for the generous support they have extended to the bridge community.
