- Bridge Playing Royalty
- Robert Heinlein has bridge in some of his books. Farnham’s Freehold begins (iirc) a bridge game.
- Zimmerman Reinstated as Winners of Rosenblum Cup 2018
- My goal? My only horse in this race is that I’m a member of this community. John, you sound very much like you don’t know these people at all. You think for one second if we swapped the Lavazza and Zimmerman teams that Zimmerman would remain the champion ...

- C’mon guys. While I can respect the “letter of the law” attitude, I don’t understand the cynicism or the seemingly over-the-top anger. This was a non bridge-related technical error. I for one am glad bridge isn’t run like...oh...golf, (which I love), with its’ ridiculous, arcane ...

- I think Greg has this exactly right. I do think it was extremely misguided to go anywhere NEAR what the team did or didn’t know. Much better would’ve been (along the lines of) “having determined that Mr. Helgemo neither sought nor achieved any illegal advantage through his actions ...

- If it is true that Geir was guilty of carelessness in filling out paperwork, and if it is also true that the drug in question is personal in nature (as opposed to performance enhancing) then it seems to me that we’ve gotten to where we needed to be. Congratulations ...
- NABC Appeal
- I’ve been saying this for a long time and gotten very little traction, but I’ll say it again: There needs to be a lot of work done on how to conduct polls so that they are relevant to the case at hand, and acknowledgement that there are times ...
- NABC Appeal
- Tom, I think that’s gonna be a tough case to make if our agreement is that jumping to 6s shows Q of spades, no kings. Of course, with only 1 key card that starting to look like a pretty lousy 1nt opener. :)
- NABC Appeal
- Of course I have. If responder realizes what has happened and bids 5s in tempo, then opener is free to decide to pass if that’s what s/he decides has happened. My point is that once the 5s bid is out of tempo, it’s forcing.
- NABC Appeal
- 6c. I appreciate that by passing, people are trying to be ethical, but here that attempt is misguided. No matter how long it takes, or that it’s not only undiscussed but we’ve never heard of this auction before now, 5s has to be forcing. If our hearts were ...
- Retired Justice John Paul Stevens, Associate Justice, SCOTUS
- Thank you, Mark. He was a great man. It was a privilege to know him and to get to chat with him, which I got to do numerous times.
