Chairman: PER E JANNERSTEN Most bridge players were delighted when Fu Zhong and Jack Zhao of the Banergatan 15 People’s Republic of China won the World Open Pairs in Verona in June. Both SE-752 37 Uppsala, SWEDEN (46) 18 52 13 00 players are extremely popular among their peers for their ability, their ethics email: [email protected] and their personable demeanour at and away from the table.

It has been a JAN TOBIAS van CLEEFF Prinsegracht 28a terrific year for Fu and Zhao to date: they won the Vanderbilt Knockout 2512 GA The Hague, NETHERLANDS Teams in Dallas, reached the quarterfinals of the Rosenblum Cup, also in Verona, (31) 70 360 5902 and won the World Open Pairs. email: [email protected] Organizational Vice-President: Despite all this success, they have been placed in a very unusual situation by DILIP GIDWANI 401 Mariden, 16th Road Bandra West the organisers of the World Open Pairs in Verona. During the fourth session Mumbai 400 050 INDIA (of five) of the Pairs Final, they faced two pairs of their countrymen, Dai/Yang (91) 22 98205 47150 F: 22 26002241 email: [email protected] and Shi/Zhuang, on the last four boards of the session, boards 25-28.

On those last four boards of the session, Fu-Zhao’s 148 Thornbury Road, Osterley Isleworth TW7 4QE, ENGLAND UK scores were 99, 96, 94 and 99% respectively. These four results catapulted (44) 20 8560 3788 F: 20 8568 3553 them to near the top of the table, where they battled with Bompis-Ste.

Similar situations happened in the Women’s MARIO DIX Pairs as well, with countrywomen facing each other late in the event. Flat 1, 41 Tigne Seafront Sliema SLM15 MALTA It must be asked why it was necessary for these delightful chaps to be placed (356) 2132 2433 F: 9949 3167 email: [email protected] in this position. Surely it is not too difficult an endeavour to ensure that Honorary General Counsel: countrymen face each other in the first or (at worst) second session of the WILLIAM J PENCHARZ five-session Final. In most cases, bridge players like nothing less than doing 50 Broadway, Westminster London SW1H 0BL ENGLAND poorly against their compatriots - they battle extremely hard against each (44) 207 222 7000 other. However, in an event such as this, after 13 days of top-flight and hard- email: [email protected] fought bridge, unusual things occur due to fatigue and other factors. It is Awards Secretary: BARRY J RIGAL unfortunate that the organizers placed this extra burden on the players and Apt 8E, 22 West 26th Street, opened them to possible rumour-mongering. New York NY 10010, USA (1) 212 366 4799 As an example of how to do these things properly, the Cavendish Invitational email: [email protected] Sponsored Members’ Secretary: Pairs in Las Vegas ensures that all pairs who buy a percentage of other pairs in IRENA CHODOROWSKA the Calcutta auction face each other early on in the event. It is not that the UI Sewastopolska 3m41 organizers believe anything nefarious will go on; however, they do want to 02-758 Warsaw, POLAND (48) 842 5054 ensure that everything also appears to be on the up-and-up to the untutored email: [email protected] observer, and to prevent even the merest suspicion of anything untoward Bulletin Production Manager: occurring.
