Coriolan Neamțu was born in 1925, in Satu-Mare, into a family of Transylvanian intellectuals. He graduated from the Faculty of Law and the Academy of High Commercial and Industrial Studies in Bucharest. His particular interest in the game of bridge allowed him to overcome professional dissatisfactions, inherent in the communist regime, and to dedicate himself passionately to bridge. He was an active promoter and organizer of the bridge game in Romania, tournament director, and bridge teacher. Coriolan Neamțu wrote and edited between 1970-1983 (year in which bridge was officially forbidden in Romania) the "Expert Bridge" magazine, printed and distributed in hundreds of copies in an almost clandestine atmosphere. A journalist by profession, with a column in magazines and newspapers from the country 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). Also being a great animal lover, the author published in 1979 a book entitled "Dog, Man's Best Friend", which enjoyed great success when it was released. In 2000 he published the novel of maxims and thoughts "Restitutio in absurdum". He was a member of the Romania Jockey Club, the International Association of Bridge Journalists, vice-world champion of the IBPA bridge in 1992 at Salsomaggiore, and editor of the bridge column in the "Free Time" magazine, the weekly supplement of the "Free Romania" newspaper.
