Career
editShi started playing bridge in 2011 when she picked it up over learning to fly planes as a much-needed new hobby after a break-up.[1] While she is well-versed in many systems, she has a fondness for playing TOSR (transfer-oriented systemic relay),[2] a form of Precision Club.[3] Shi became a Grand Life Master in December 2019 at the San Francisco NABC.[citation needed]
Shi admitted to cheating at online bridge through self-kibitzing[4] and was suspended by the American Contract Bridge League from July 2020 to July 2023.[5]
