Also see you've branched into Journalism. Nice article in Bridge Plus about psyches.

Miles and miles of smiles and hearty congratulations to Justin and Helmut Lall on their GNT win. As a casual acquaintance who first met Justin at a bridge tournament in my city when he was 10 and already a very worthy opponent, I have watched his progress through the years since then and enjoyed my occasional chats with his mother, Jan, about his competition results. In addition I not too long ago suffered the agonies of defeat in a swiss team match against him at a local Regional (last year or the year before) so I saw for myself how superbly the young adult plays the game. Needless to say, I am bursting with pride in his latest achievement!

I'll be eagerly awaiting the write-up in Bridge Bulletin about your GNT win, Justin, and wish you much success in the future.

Don't have a subscription to the magazine.

Could anyone post a brief summary (or at least a description of the themes discussed?)

I expect it was similar to his blog entry on the subject.

Bridge Plus is a magazine that is aimed at the club and social bridge players. Although it contains some tournament reports, I believe its articles are selected when they will be interesting to a wide audience. Justin's writing is excellent in this regard and he joins an impressive list of contributors.

I don't have the magazine to hand, but from what I can recall, it is as Paul says. The article is very similar, if not word-for-word the same, as Justin's blog.
