Michel Duguet è nato il 19 dicembre del 1961 a Strasburgo, vive a Vanves nell'hinterland parigino con la moglie Marlène ed è particolarmente conosciuto per essere stato uno dei più grandi giocatori di Scrabble di tutti i tempi: 10 volte campione del mondo negli anni '80.
Michel è anche un campione di Countdown uno sport della mente basato su anagrammi e numeri nel quale ha fatto diverse apparizioni televisive di successo.
Diplomato a Néant, giornalista esperto in giochi della mente, nel 1988 ha abbandonato le altre attività ludiche per dedicarsi al Bridge ed, anche qui, non ha tardato ad avere lusinghieri risultati vincendo in coppia con la moglie Marlène la medaglia d'argento ai Campionati Europei a Coppie Miste del 2000, la "Coupe de France" del 2004 nonché il Campionato Nazionale a Coppie Miste del 2014.
Marlene e Michel hanno cominciato a giocare insieme nel 1989, si sono innamorati nell'agosto del 1990 e si sono sposati il 10 settembre del 1994 e rappresentano uno splendido esempio di come il bridge possa cementare un unione ben assortita anziché contrastarla.

Michel, che ha avuto da un legame precedente al matrimonio con Marlène, una figlia Nathalie Aimelesrequins (3/12/1984) che non ha mai giocato a bridge, nel 2002 ha fatto parte della Nazionale del suo Paese ed è anche conosciuto per essere stato co-autore di diversi libri sui vari sport della mente nei quali si è misurato con successo. Nel 2015 ha vinto il Coppie Open di Biarritz.
Assieme alla moglie hanno fondato una Società di Viaggi che consente di passare periodi di vacanza con grandi campioni del mondo del bridge, dello scrabble e del golf.
Marlène Duguet, che è nata a Parigi il 17 maggio del 1956, ha studiato al Liceo Marie-Curie Sceaux e all'Università de la Vie ed ha avuto 4 figli. Tre da una precedente unione, e il 12 maggio del 2002 Milann da Michel. Marlène, che ha anche tre amati nipotini, ha imparato il bridge nel 1974 in un kibbutz in Israele, ma ha cominciato a giocare a livello agonistico solo nel 1986 e oltre ai titoli vinti in coppia con il marito, può vantarne diversi altri a livello nazionale. Alla fine degli anni '90 ha abbandonato il bridge agonistico, ma quando nel 2017 è tornata a disputare un campionato nazionale ha subito vinto l'argento nello squadre femminile!
Il loro figlio Milann Duguet è nato il 12 maggio del 2002 a Vanves dove tuttora vive (ripreso a fianco con la sorella Nathalie in una foto di diversi anni fa) e ha cominciato anche lui a sedersi al tavolo verde.
Michel Duguet (born 1961,
December 19) is a
French Scrabble player who won the French World Scrabble Championships
five times during the 1980s. His record of five world titles has never
been broken, but has been equaled by Christian Pierre during the 1990s.
Despite both players being five-time world champions, it was Duguet that was awarded the prize of 'player of the century' at the World Championship in Paris in 2000.
Michel only played ten seasons of French Scrabble, also winning the French national championship six times, the World Championship by pairs five times and the French championship by pairs twice. Away from Scrabble, he was the Des chiffres et des lettres champion in 1984, a game show based on anagrams and numbers games known as Countdown in the UK.
After retiring from Scrabble in 1988, he took up bridge and ending up representing the French national team at the European Bridge championships in 2002, as well as winning the French Cup of bridge in 2004 and the National Mixed Pairs in 2014, all paired with his wife Marlène. Duguet has occasionally come out of retirement to play Scrabble, finishing 7th at Vichy in 2006, a tournament which welcomes more than 1200 players each year.
Duguet is also an authors and has written six books with Michel Charlemagne, another World Scrabble Champion who turned to card games after being World Scrabble Champion. In 2015 he won the Open Pairs of Biarritz.
Graduated in Néant, journalist and expert on mind games, in 1988 he abandoned the other game for dedicate himself in Bridge and here, too, early he got good results. Paired his wife Marlène, he won the silver medal at the European Mixed Pairs Championships in 2000, the "Coupe de France" in 2004 and the French Mixed Pairs Championships in 2014.
Marlène and Michael started playing together in 1989, fell in love in August 1990 and married on 1994 (September 10). They represent an outstanding example of how the bridge could cement a well-assorted union rather than against it.
Michel, who had a daughter called Nathalie (1984, December 3) who has never played bridge from a previous union bond with Marlene, in 2002 has also been part of the national team of his country and was co- author of several books on various sport of the mind in which is measured himself with success.
Marlène and her husband have founded a Society of Travel that allows you to go for holidays with great world champions of bridge, scrabble and golf.
Marlene, who was born in Paris on 17 May 1956, studied at the High School Marie-Curie Sceaux and at the University de la Vie and had 4 children. Three from a previous union, and by Michel, Milann that was born 12 May 2002. Marlene, which also has three beloved grandchildren, she learned the bridge in 1974 on a kibbutz in Israel, but he started playing at a competitive level in 1986 and in addition to the titles won in tandem with her husband, it can boast several other nationally. In the late 90s he abandoned the competitive bridge, but when she returned in 2017 to play in a national championship has been won silver in the women's teams!
Their son Milann Duguet was born on May 12, 2002 in Vanves where he still lives (pictured next to his sister Nathalie in a photo taken several years ago) and he too began to sit at the green table.
