Bene, immediatamente dopo l’uscita del pezzo, è arrivato, nella Coppa dei Campioni, il successo della squa- Pdra Angelini del T.C. Parioli ad impreziosire ancor più un periodo che più incredibile non potrebbe essere. Anche in questo caso, come in occasioni precedenti, non è stato nem- meno un successo ma un trionfo. Come si fa a commentare un Campio- nato vinto senza nemmeno perdere un incontro se si eccettua l’ultimo in- contro del round robin a qualificazione già ottenuta, una finale dominata con quasi 100 M.P. di differenza, un torneo condotto dall’alto di una su- periorità disarmante e addirittura imbarazzante per i malcapitati avversa- ri? Qualcuno (non ricordo più chi) diceva che nello sport si deve vince- re, mai stravincere. Questo per non provocare negli avversari appena umiliati sentimenti di invidia e di rivalsa allignati sull’erbetta del perso- nale amor proprio calpestato e deriso. I nostri ci hanno abituati invece a stravincere e vi garantisco che, da tifoso, è tutto molto più bello. Che gli avversari covino poi le rivalse che vogliono: noi intanto facciamo polpet- te di tutti, distruggiamo come Attila tutto ciò che capita sotto il nostro cammino… poi vedremo. Abbraccio gli autori della nuova, esaltante impresa Lino Bove (c.n.g.) PUNTINI... Francesco Angelini Fulvio Fantoni Lorenzo Lauria Claudio Nunes Antonio Sementa Alfredo Versace Loro hanno inanellato nell’annata dei successi che credo non abbiano riscontri in altri sport. Il Campionato Italiano a Squadre, la Coppa Italia, il Torneo Internazionale di Venezia, e la recentissima Coppa dei Campioni. Diciamo che stanno facendo la storia del nostro sport come Valentino Rossi fa quella del motociclismo o Schumacher quella della Formula 1. La cosa più interessante è poi che tali successi hanno un riscontro final- mente palpabile, soprattutto sulla stampa romana. Mai ho letto tanti PUNTINI... riflessi su un evento bridgistico, anche in epoche in cui avremmo merita- to spazi e consensi. È iniziata, spero, anche in tal senso una storia nuova, una storia fatta di credibilità e di rinnovati entusiasmi. Ci aspetta Montecarlo, ora, con il Campionato del Mondo. Che si parta con i favori del pronostico e con un curriculum che fa paura a tutti, è dav- vero ovvio. Ma sappiamo che partire favoriti spesso non fornisce vantag- gi, anzi. La squadra è però di forza mostruosa (Lauria/Versace, Bocchi/ Duboin, Fantoni/Nunes) e la storia recente parla di cinque vittorie conse- cutive all’Europeo, ottenute oltretutto con sestetti sempre diversi; la Ber- muda ci manca dal lontano 1975, è ora di tornarla a vincere, e se ci si riu- scisse, senza concedere tregua, dimostreremmo davvero di essere di qual- che generazione davanti al resto del mondo. Io ci credo. E voi? PUNTINI...

  • Phoenix Daily Bulletin 11
    DailyNovember 28-December 8, 2002 Bulletin76th Fall North American Bridge Championships Phoenix, Arizona Vol. 76, No. 11 Monday, December 9, 2002 Editors: Henry Francis and Jody Latham Landen sextet victorious in Reisinger Teams The team captained by Stephen Landen won 2.5 out of 3 boards on the last round to claim victory in the Reisinger Board-a-Match Teams. Landen was playing with Pratap Rajadhyaksha; their teammates were Dan Morse-Bobby Wolff and Adam Wildavsky-Doug Doub. With one round to go, three teams were closely bunched: Landen, Malcolm Brachman (Chris Compton, Mike Passell, Claudio Nunes, Fulvio Fantoni) and Nick Nickell (Richard Freeman, Jeff Meckstroth, Eric Rodwell, Bob Hamman, Paul Soloway). Brachman split their round – 1.5 to 1.5 – while Nickell got only 1 on the round. That put Landen on top with 33.14, followed by Richard Schwartz (Michael Becker, David Berkowitz, Larry Cohen, Zia Mahmood, Michael Rosenberg) with 31.12 and Nickell with 30.65. Landen and Rajadhyaksha claimed their second North American championship as a partnership; they won Open Pairs II at the 2000 Spring NABC in Cin- cinnati. Landen won the same event at the 1990 Spring NABC in Fort Worth. Morse and Wolff won their second North Ameri- can championship at this tournament – they were mem- bers of the winning Senior Knockout Teams earlier in the week. Morse, District 16 representative to the Reisinger winners: (seated) Doug Doub, Dan Morse and Bobby Wolff, holding the Reisinger Trophy; (standing) Adam ACBL Board of Directors, was named ACBL Honor- Wildavsky, Pratap Rajadhyaksha and Stephen Landen.
