Thank you Mr Wolff!

What a lovely hand! Superb! Stay tuned folks, the ones coming up tomorrow and next week are also all pure delight! Bobby Wolff at his best!

Hi Michael,

It is nice hearing from you again, especially so when accompanied by such a ringing compliment. With your introduction, I cannot wait to read next week myself.

Referencing the hand featuring Sabine Auken, I remember when she came on the scene some years ago, and has since really earned her accolades. Not only has she won multiple World Championships for her native Germany, but her play has always exhibited spectacular flair, such as the current column describes. From my point of view she is the closest female player in ability I have seen since the days of Helen Sobel, who I had the great fortune to play against when I was a very young man.

Please forgive the trip down memory lane, but that often happens when old people blog.

Good moring Michael:

All this time, I have thought I was Bobby’s Number Uno Public Relations Person, but I am beginning to question the security of my position. Your appraisal of the upcoming hands this week were very intriguing and I can’t wait to see them myself. As you may suspect, they are written months in advance and though I read them at the time of completion, it takes several months until they appear in the newspapers. Unfortunately, living here in Vegas, we do not get to see them in our local paper so must wait until they appear on bridgeblogging.com. However, letters like yours (and those via personal emails) make Bobby feel so good to know that although they may not appear in one’s home town press, this marvelous blog site has made them available to people all over the universe (courtesy of Bobby’s long-time Syndicate, United Media).

Cheers,

Judy
