the odd couple

Larry Cohen writes about his 20 year bridge partnership with David Berkowitz:

It contrasts with a previous discussion in these forums about "What makes bridge partnerships break up?"

Thanks for the link.

 

This article appeared in the September 06 issue of The Bridge World, with typos such as 'This puts “active ethics” to the text' fixed (since BW editing is close to perfect). Thus the article predates Cohen's decision to retire from top level bridge, disband his partnership with Berkowitz, and leave Berkowitz alone at the altar of January's Master Solvers' Club (note how BW editors still keep that quote after Solvers). It seems to me that Cohen is following Bergen's path, moving out of top level bridge and into more teaching, but I don't know much of the details. As to Berkowitz, he is one of the top US world class players, and I will be interested to see what partnership he forms in the future, and whether it is a big club partnership.

I believe Berkowitz will be playing with Alan Sontag.
