Sorry, Partner wins the Alan Truscott Memorial Award

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 21:07:18 GMT

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Sorry, Partner has won the IBPA Alan Truscott Memorial Award.

Alan Truscott was the long-time bridge editor of The New York Times, and was an IBPA Executive member, serving as its president from 1981 to 1985. The Alan Truscott Memorial Award is presented periodically to an individual or organisation that, in the opinion of the IBPA Executive, has done something in the world of bridge that Alan would have approved of and appreciated.

Thank you to the IBPA for this recognition.

This honour reflects the generosity of our guests, the loyalty of our listeners, and the global bridge community that has welcomed the show so warmly since its launch. What began as a conversation between two bridge partners has grown into a program heard in more than 170 countries, and we’re deeply grateful for that support.

Thank you to everyone who listens, shares the show, writes to us, and champions thoughtful, independent audio.

Bonus audio--Bridge Blues: Stay or Go

Thu, 14 Aug 2025 09:00:00 GMT

Bridge Blues: Stay or Go was written and performed by Nirup Malkani. You can find more of their songs on Spotify.

LYRICS--Bridge Blues: Stay or Go

I’m giving up bridge – tonight’s my last night

It’s amen to Stayman, I give up the fight.

The insults and muddles are giving me troubles.

I can’t sleep at night for thinking of doubles.

My cards are all rotten

And I have forgotten

Who has played what and what is trump

Sitting for hours with a sore rump

So it’s all over tonight – I’m off to the backwoods

I’m bidding goodbye to Gerber and Blackwoods.

I can’t stand the hassle,

I can’t stand the pain

I’m getting those bad cards again and again.

Bridge makes me cheer, then tear out my hair,

One moment I’m soaring, the next in despair.

I swear I should quit — or give it one more go...

Tell me, Bridge friends, should I stay or should I go?

Another bad night

Nothing’s gone right.

My partner’s a dope

I’m losing all hope.

When opponents say “double”

I know we’re in trouble.

My points are not high,

and I’m wondering why

She kept on bidding right up to the sky.

We’re in seven spades,

I doubt she makes

When surprise, surprise,

all tricks she takes

The defenders feel sick

My partner’s really slick.

All of a sudden,

gone is my sorrow

And yes, I’ll play again tomorrow!

Bridge makes me cheer, then tear out my hair,

One moment I’m soaring, the next in despair.

I swear I should quit — or give it one more go...

Tell me, Bridge friends, should I stay or should I go?

Dave's top five favorite bridge books ...

1. "Adventures in Card Play." Ottlik. Simply the best bridge book ever.

2. "Expert Bridge Simplified". Not for everyone.

3. "Bridge for Dummies". I know that seems an odd choice but it is the book I recommend whenever someone asks for a good starting book. It is written by Kantar so it has his light and funny writing style.

4. "Bridge Odds for Practical Players". Particularly if you don't have the quantitative background for Rubens' book.

5. And of course, "Sleeping on the Couch".
