Show Me the Way
Peter Frampton – Show Me The Way
Ode to Peter Frampton
Much has been written in this thread and it seems to have two diverse strands.
One – players must do whatever they can do to “protect themselves” against possible cheaters. This apparently includes a pre-match admonishment to the opponents as to what will and will not be tolerated.
The second is that there is a dearth of leadership, of responsibility, of willingness of our experts and sanctioning bodies to do what needs to be done to cleanse the game. That said there are an abundance of rules and let’s follow them. Maybe these two can be connected. Let’s see.
How dirty is the game? To what extent have cheaters corrupted the game? To hear Bobby talk about it (and he would know) it is a cancer eroding the fabric of the game, all too present, too often, too widespread. Interestingly, it seems a few experts are not just experts at bridge, but downright gifted at various means of telegraphing their secret messages. I suggest cheating is more complicated at the top (the so-so players just aren’t that good at it) and therefore it is incumbent upon the experts to lead the way.
When we allow members to take the law into their own hand, this too debases the game. Sontag’s “preamble” as described by Ray Lee is one such example.
Afterwards he {Sontag} told me that before play began, he told his opponents exactly what he expected of them in terms of deportment; in particular, he itemized a number of actions he would not allow them to employ (including inconsistent placement of their cards on the table on defense, etc.). He had no doubt that this preamble had produced a level card table for the session — hence the score.
We now know (thanks to Peter Gill) that the humbling score Sontag and company inflicted upon their opponents was not due to his preamble, it was due to an outstanding set from team mates Grant Baze and Rose Meltzer.
The main reason Sontag’s team won the 16 board session 65-2 imps is that Rose Meltzer and Grant Baze had a huge session at the other table. It’s all there on the Internet, for anyone to see, under Shanghai in 2007. If Meltzer – Baze score up with Jill Levin – Jill Meyers from the Women’s Final, they win the segment 68-9. If Meltzer – Baze score up with Helness – Helgemo from the Open Final, they win the set 71-10. If Meltzer – Baze score up with Wang Wenfei – Yi Qian Lu from the Women’s 3rd place playoff, they win the set 65-2. It is not as if Sontag at the other table to Rose Meltzer had a particularly good set after his comment.
So if Sontag had said nothing, in all likelihood his team would still have scored a resounding victory. Here the talent (and maybe a little bit from Lady Luck) shone through.
And I note Judy and Bobby, with their heartfelt conviction dodged the question about how they would feel about being subjected to same pre-game “preamble”. The truth is – they would never be subjected to it – so how could they know? Intimidation tends to exist between various ranks of players, Higher to lower. If we are of analogous rank – there is unlikely to be intimidation. Friendly cajoling amongst peers is fine, but you don’t tell you buddies how to place their cards on the table. Bridge is a game of ego.. Sometimes ego (like money) makes you do things you would not otherwise say or do.
Riki Tiki (cute name) wrote to me:
I am sure there is no love lost as Sontag (and Weischel) (sic) were involved in your much publicized petpeeve (The Norfolk Incident) which should have no bearing on the case at hand, but I am sure it is still gnawing at you, so I do not think you are totally impartial regarding Sontag.
I note Tiki didn’t say I was wrong – just that I might be biased. I can’t in all honesty dismiss that outright. Just to clarify, my story Collateral Damage about the stolen title of the men’s BAM title in 3/79 at Norfolk is not a “pet peeve”. Ask Zeke Jabbour, Mike Cappelletti, Gary Hann, Ron Feldman, David Sacks or David Hoffner (who lost the title to Cokin/Sion and their team mates Sontag/Weichsel and NPC Sternberg) if they see it as a “pet peeve” to lose a National title to (soon-to-be) convicted cheaters. They see it more lucidly, a betrayal of the League or as Feldman put it – a breach of their {ACBL’s} fiduciary trust to their members. Still, Tiki’s suggestion made me think. Am I biased against Sontag and Weichsel?
Biased no. Disappointed yes. As world class champions, I think they owe the game more, and I invite Tiki and every reader to judge for themselves.
Bobby Wolff said this about Norfolk:
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind, nor should there be in anyone’s mind, that Steve Sion and Alan Cokin as a partnership, cheated in Norfolk during the 1979 Fall Nationals and especially during the Board-a-Match Teams which they won, playing on a team with Jim Sternberg, Alan Sontag and Peter Weichsel. What else is new? Since the pair had been cheating for years before that and whatever their finish, whether it be in Nationals, Regionals, or Sectionals, (maybe even in club games), it totally distorted the final results.
Yet, when I asked Alan Sontag and Peter Weichsel (and Cokin/Sternberg) to give up their ill-gotten gains what do I get? Anger, abuse, rage – I guess the story hit a nerve. For every abusive comment I got, there were 10 thanking me for putting they story out in the open. I look at the abusive stuff as a bonus – sort of a cherry on top.
So I ask anyone who would care to answer, if Alan Sontag is so worried about being cheated, why does he not share that same concern when others are cheated by his own team mates?
Bobby Wolff knows that Cokin/Sion cheated. Chip Martel, Paul Lewis, Kit Woolsey, Brenda Blumenthal, Mark Jacobus all helped break the code. They know. Apparently 16 witnesses testified at hearing for Cokin and Sion. Were these strangers plucked from the street? No, they were experts with firsthand knowledge of the unlawful code they used. They were caught at Norfolk. Only the ACBL put the matter on ice until they could build a more forceful case. Three months later – the League had done nothing and cheaters continued to play, unfettered, unwatched and racking up Regional wins while those who knew silently steamed.
Do Sontag and Weichsel know? You bet they know. My mother knows for cryin’ out loud and she can’t follow suit without a roadmap. As for whether or not they knew prior to their conviction (three months later at the GNTs in Atlanta) well, no one, least of all Sontag and Weichsel want to go there. It is the forbidden fruit because – if they knew – that would surely reflect poorly on their professional conduct.
Let’s say they didn’t. Sontag’s famous antennae didn’t quiver when top pro Sion takes up with a lesser light – Cokin but they bring back top flight results. They just got lucky, made a few inspired leads and killing defenses to knock off Hamman, Wolff, Kantar, Eisenberg, Kaplan, Kay, Root, Roth and just about everyone else. As I said in CD, if they didn’t know – they should have known.
That’s what floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee. A little piece of shit bridge journalist (from Canada no less) pieces together a thirty year old cold case and there are not a lot of heroes in the story. The attitude of a few (any guesses?) was – what gives him the right to criticize players of the stature of Weichsel and Sontag?
The same thing that gives each of us the right to play top flight players, that’s what. Our game is the only one where top flight professionals and amateurs compete head to head. I tell my non-bridge friends that in bridge, the likes of Tiger, Vijay and Phil have to get past me before they can reach the summit and collect the title. Our game enjoys a wonderful democracy that way, but many players (especially experts) see the masses as mere stepping stones up the ladder, cannon fodder, an unfortunate but necessary nuisance.
The League, directors, partners and expert players all came away tarnished in Collateral Damage.. There was no white knight though Woolsey and Martel et. al. came close. Somehow Sontag and Weichsel emerged relatively unscathed (after all, no one ever accused them of cheating) but 30 years later some muckraker disinters some old skeletons and now – the anger seeps through, and it seethes. (in fairness, to the best of my knowledge Peter Weichsel has never said anything except on one occasion he said to me – “go to the ACBL”. That is like me telling my son – cry to the tooth fairy because you didn’t get your reward under the pillow. A cop out – a platitude, an abdication of responsibility.
And when you dare to criticize – you better be ready to take the heat. Bring it on. And so it came. A friend or two of Rose Meltzer and Alan started a little campaign, which was couched in terms of “harassment”.
Ban him from the ACBL.
Cast him off BBO!
Toss him from the CBF. (The Canadian Bridge Federation – not sure if I am even a member, hope so.)
All because? Well – why?
He tells a story that casts two world class players in a less that favorable light?
He sits at a table and that constitutes harassment?
Where is the intimidation card now? I said before and I will say it again – if Rosenberg or Alder or Kantar had written this story – would they face what I faced? Quit laughing.
Sontag writes in his book The Bridge Bum.
…..I was right at the top so far as unpopularity with my fellow players was concerned. …I jumped the gun and accused my left hand opponent of cheating. I still believe he was cheating, but I handled the situation all wrong. Instead of calling for the tournament director, I invited him outside to fight.
(He goes on to report the pulling of a slow double.)
In any case, I acted too hastily…..The great Dutch bridge player {Slavenberg} and banker was soon escalating the situation into an internationalal incident. ….
Slavenberg then threatens to haul Sontag up before and Conducts and Ethics committee but Sontag quickly apologizes. In his words…..
”The people who had been listening curled their lips and edged away from me. I felt like a carrier of typhus.” (This was some 30+ years ago)
Note it was Slavenberg who “escalated the incident”. He wasn’t the one who accused someone of cheating. He was deservedly angry. Got a beef? Call the director. No – take the accused outside and pound him to a pulp. That will make him think twice about pulling a slow double. Sontag is blameless in all of this – yet he is the one who apologizes. Nice to have it both ways.
This is lifted from Collateral Damage VII. (Sontag’s words from The Bridge Bum.)
Sontag continues: “The May 1973 Bridge World contained an article I agree with. It said, in effect, that champion players know when they are being cheated, but the problem is the proof: a few too many inspired opening leads, some competitive decisions just too consistently lucky, and the tongues would start to wag. Also, there is a tell-tale rattle in the tempo of cheating players. Since they are in possession of different information from that available to a normal pair, their problems are different – their flickers of hesitation come at odd times. It is the business of top players to be extraordinarily sensitive to such things; their antennae come quivering to attention at the first false note, a sense of unease ripens into suspicion…It is all to the good that experts cannot cheat their peers without it becoming known.”
So Sontag has the nose of a bloodhound and can smell a cheater a mile away.
“It is the business of top players to be extraordinarily sensitive to such things…..It is all to the good that experts cannot cheat their peers without it becoming known.”
So which is it? Is it the above in his own words? Or is it possible that he and Weichsel knew at some point that their team mates were chronic cheaters? Well, it is certainly possible, by Sontag’s own words.
This too is from CD VII.
Alan Sontag in his engaging book The Bridge Bum, recounts how he waived a penalty (and suggested an alternative) against Forquet who had bid out of turn (at stake were 5 Italian Lanciasport cars) on the first board of the match! Instead all “agreed” to Sontag’s suggestion of a re-deal. This in turn won him Sportsman of the Year from the International Bridge Press Association. Sontag said in his book –
“I did not want to win on a technicality…taking advantage of a technicality would have proved nothing, especially to myself. My three team mates {Rubin/Granovetter/Weichsel} agreed.”
So Sontag didn’t want to win on a technicality. I applaud that. This in turn wins him IBPA sportsman of the year? Good for him. Congratulations. He is willing to forsake a legal sanction and insert his own (albeit reasonable) solution. Note that the Laws pursuant to a bid out of turn do not provide a re-deal as an option. So this home-cooked solution, as noble as it may have been, is not based upon the Laws, but rather the sentiments of fairness and sportsmanship. Would Edgar have been apoplectic?
How does winning a title with team mates cheating at the other table reconcile with “I did not want to win on a technicality” to say nothing of his sense of fairness and sportsmanship?
It doesn’t.
Is cheating at the other table “a technicality”? Or is it worse? If he wants to win fair and square (and he does), then stand up and prove it. Toss the Norfolk title back. After reading the whole story, perhaps one’s perspectives change. I ask Dr. James Sternberg, Peter Weichsel, Alan Sontag and Alan Cokin to do the “Spike Lee” {the right thing} and forfeit that tainted title. Actions speak louder than words. But let’s be honest – offering a re-deal after an opponent’s gaffe is magnanimous; retaining a title won with cheating team mates at the other table is …… pathetic.
No doubt Bobby Wolff, Judy Kay Wolff, Alan Sontag and countless others have endured this blight upon the game far too long. Maybe we are at a boiling point, where action will be mobilized and this issue will move out of the closet and into the limelight. Let’s hope so. The French might say “mieux vaut tard que jamais.” (better late than never)
I ask Alan Sontag and Peter Weichsel to lead the way. Show your dedication to eradicating cheating from the game. Show the way. What might they do now? Today.
An announcement like this might speak to leadership and reconciliation. :
Through the unknown and unforeseen actions of our team mates, we won the Norfolk BAM 1979 title unlawfully. We appreciate that the second place team filed a timely appeal, and for reasons unknown, was never addressed. But for the unlawful actions of our team mates therein (board 16) which directly and negatively impacted the second place team, they would have won this event. We wish to distance ourselves from this unfortunate incident, move forward and ask the ACBL to accept our forfeiture of this title from our team and determine if it should be awarded to another.
It is one thing to be cheated. That hurts. it stings. It stinks.
It is another thing to be the cheaters.
Your team mates Sion and Cokin cheated to steal said title, and you too are collateral damage.
Care to start the healing?
Great – show me the way.
Show us all the way.

I thought it strange enough to immediately report it (at Paul Soloway’s suggestion).
It was my second second place in my first year of going to Nationals on a regular basis.. I was sure enough of myself that I thought this is bad, but I will do better later. 36 years later, I do not compete anymore and never did get that National Championship. Yes it still stings.
That Sontag and Weicshel did not walk away from the win, is still beyond my comprehension of the spirit of the game.
Much dissapointed that such atricle and the picture won the prize! I felt ‘no connection’ with her words, especially the picture ‘regarding’ the UK… I used to stay in the UK for a year. Honestly speaking, to use many names of people or traveling spotlights related to the UK like this way DOES NOT mean anything to people who are not familiar with Britain’s insights as well as those having been there and have memories to this country.
