What a character he was. But through him I got to play quite a bit with Justin Lall when he was in his teens, so I owe Gerard for that.

I know Warren Buffett, Bill Gates and Carole Loomis of Fortune magazine frequently play against each other and that Buffett plays online. Did he and “Gee” ever play? In Buffett’s comments, bridge really comes across as an obsession and he’s something of a top gun in his field. I think his online handle is T-bone (steak fan that he is).

It’s absolutely fantastic, Aaron … thanks!

I had been wondering what to do with the leftover Depends under my bathroom sink, and I am pleased to have good reason not to waste them. Your revamping of the site has – I realize only too well – taken up a good deal of your time and no little effort, but nevertheless I still believe you should submit your work to Ray Lee at Masterpoint Press in Toronto for publication as a hardcopy book.

I have recently begun my own treatise based upon the inimitable character and unmatchable bridge “abilities” of our recently deceased friend, Gerard “Gee” Cohen, with a semi-fictional character called Professor Gaston Gitane-Gauloise, who is adept at teaching bridge by inverted methodology, namely that of learning what NOT to do, and by avoiding his examples therefore to improve one’s own game. These lessons are available to all on my website, at the following link: http://www.mikedornwiss.com/bridge-stuff/the-bridge-seminars-of-professor-gaston-gitane-gauloise.

If you and other Gee fans get half the giggles from them as we have from your efforts, I will be more than satisfied.

Note that the hK was sacrificed on the lead. Then declarer sacrificed the dK killing his entry. Then east sacrificed his cK.

Maybe an alternative title is “Three kings decapitated.”
