Is Warren Buffet becoming the white knight to champion Bridge in the new millenium? No doubt, Warren’s efforts to promote his new Warren Buffett Cup in Dublin, Ireland from September 18-21, 2006 was a step in the right direction. Promoting Bridge has always been a challenge so why not have a tourney to mimmick golf’s Ryder Cup. That’s right, Warren’s genius setup the United States to compete against Europe in head-to-head matches. Going into the last day, the Europeans had a slight leads, but alas, the Americans scrambled to win the tourney by an equivalent of 6 matches including an awesome sweep on the last 5 rounds). Next September the Europeans will have the opportunity to extol their revenge in Kentucky.<\/p>\n

\nJan Jansma – Louk Verhees (Netherlands)
\nNorberto Bocchi-Giorgio Duboin (Italy)
