所羅威先生的訃聞

Lionel Wright  Paul Soloway, 1941-2007

Paul Soloway, the ACBL's all-time leading masterpoint holder and one of the great players of all time, died of complications from an infection on Monday(2007.11.05) at a hospital in the Seattle area. He was 66.

At the time of his death, Soloway's masterpoint holding was at 65,511.92, more than 6000 ahead of second on the list.

Soloway was elected to the ACBL Bridge Hall of Fame in 2001, the first year he was eligible (minimum age of 60) and was inducted in 2002.



He was a key member of the Nick Nickell team that has dominated North American and world bridge for more than a decade. He was a member of the winning Bermuda Bowl team five times, the latest in Monte Carlo in 2003. He also won more than two dozen North American championships.


At his last NABC this summer in Nashville, Soloway was part of the winning squad in the Spingold Knockout Teams, his ninth win in that event. He was scheduled to play with the Nickell team in the Bermuda Bowl in Shanghai, China, this fall but his illness kept him from making the trip.


Soloway lived in Mill Creek WA, a suburb of Seattle with his wife, Pam.

Hi Sho, It is indeed very sad. As you probably know, Paul was a very fine person as well as one of the greatest bridge players ever.
