I think you recognize and agree that during my one year on the board I consistently advocated a big cut in expenses. In particular, I advocated very specific cuts that would have reduced expenses by $80,000 without any reduction in services to the membership. Unfortunately, at that time the board was deadlocked. I could only get two-and a half to three votes to cut expenses. With a...

Louis Henry Watson was a rapidly rising star in the World of Bridge. At the age of only 29, he had won virtually every major title that existed, playing with partners that included Oswald Jacoby, Howard Schenken and Sam Fry. Watson was ranked the number four bridge player in the world. On Valentine's Day, February 14, 1936, in what seemed to be perfect health, after a luncheon, Watson became ill...

I am about to publish a book about bridge. However, somebody told me that nobody plays bridge any more. Is that true? Is bridge play up or down? Would it be a waste of my time and money to publish a book about bridge? Sam Sloan

"In 1988, British Grandmaster Jon Levitt came up with the Levitt equation. His equation says that a player with an IQ of Y, after many years of tournament play and study, would tend to have a chess Elo rating of about 10Y + 1000. So if Fischer's IQ was 180, then his Elo rating would be 10x180 + 1000 or 2800. Fischer's Elo rating was 2785. His maximum USCF rating was 2825. " My chess rating is...
