About the Book

Imagine sitting beside a world-class bridge player and being able to listen to his thoughts as each hand develops... you can help but improve your own game! Every hand in this fascinating book comes from actual play; many of them are taken from the author's own experience in world-level competition. Fred Gitelman believes that there is something to be learned from every bridge hand, whether you are a novice or an expert, and he proves it here. Just as fascinating as the bridge, however, are Fred's observations on his partners and opponents, who range from world champions to famous amateurs like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.

Belleville Intelligencer
"In a clear, careful and concise style, Gitelman guides the reader through many difficult deals against some of the world's finest players. The text is enlivened with many anecdotes or comments about the participants. Gitelman's conversational style makes the reader feel very comfortable.I was particularly impressed to see that the last deal came from the recent United States team trials, an event won by Gitelman's team. Not often do you see such recent deals in book form."
