- about me
I was a serious (and occasionally successful) bridge player between the early 1980s and 2013. Now I am more or less retired from high-level bridge.

- Home Team Wins GNT

- “Detecting Cheating in Bridge” by Nic Hammond. Preliminary thoughts

- Sorry for the off-topic post, but Bobby's mention of the Macallan tournament reminded me of this story that some might enjoy... I played against Boris (and Irving Gordon?) in the 1996 Macallan. A man who seemed old enough to appear in the last scene of 2001: A Space Odyssey ...
- 15 seconds to the Bermuda Bowl
- I hear you, but your outlook might be different if you knew why the second appeal was dropped... The Donn Team basically decided to accept a "self-serving statement" from one of the members of the Fleisher Team as being the truth. It was the sort of statement that, as I ...

- Anti-Doping Violation by Geir Helgemo results in Team Zimmerman disqualification from Orlando Rosenblum Cup
- The way I see it: making a serious effort to create doping rules that make sense for bridge would be very complicated. It would certainly require significant outside expertise. It would certainly never end (new drugs, new drug tests, new science). It would likely entail significant ongoing expense that would ...

- Anti-Doping Violation by Geir Helgemo results in Team Zimmerman disqualification from Orlando Rosenblum Cup
- Bobby - I was not trying to blame you for anything and I am certainly grateful for your numerous contributions to bridge over the years, especially the thorny ones. You said: "although I did not offer my opinion, and FWIIW I agree that it likely causes more harm than possible good ...
