Probably the saddest and most comprehensive article I've ever written was "Losing at Lille." This advanced-level article was written for Bridge World magazine. It gives the detailed story of how I snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in the 1998 World Championships.
The magazine has graciously made this epic article available on-line. If you have lots of time on your hands, a sharp brain (no jokes necessary), and wish to give me sympathy, you can click here to read my tale of woe.
