antonylee Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 I have been a bit annoyed when I realized that the deal from Mark Horton's July column in the ACBL Bridge Bulletin, which he describes as having played "in an early round of the Gold Cup against less than formidable opponents" comes in fact from the 15th World Youth Teams (bulletin #5) (spot cards and two variations in the play all identical). I don't think there's much to do about it, so it's just a free rant. (edited to rectify the link) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wank Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 mark horton illicitly got access to a bridgeclublive's (terrible bridge site popular with EBU players at the time) database to pass to another online bridge site for financial gain during the early days of online bridge. i doubt your objection is going to cause him a great deal of mental anguish. link for those worried about legal aspects: http://www.bridgeclublive.com/A/Information/Library/DOCS/News/PressRelease-01.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barmar Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 The proper thing to do would be to write to editor@acbl.org. Hopefully they'll publish it in the Letters column, and include some kind of retraction/correction. Ranting here, where neither he nor the Bulletin editor can defend themselves, serves little purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
