Master of Bridge Psychology
This may be the funniest bridge biography you will ever read. Peter Fredin of Sweden won the 2009 European Pairs championship, and is a multiple medalist in events at the world level. His style and approach to bridge owe more to psychology than to the mathematics of the game, something that often lands him in unusual situations at the table. Being one of the world's best card players, he can generally find a way to extricate himself. Danish journalist Jeppe Juhl, a close personal friend of Fredin, has collected some of Fredin's best and worst moments into a book that offers superlative entertainment for any bridge player.
World Class
Twenty-six of the world's top players talk about bridge -- their favorite hands, their worst moments, their most-feared opponents, and so on. We see the human side of people who to many bridge fans are just names, and we gather from them a series of tips and ideas that will help the reader improve his own game. The players covered are men and women from all parts of the world, and most will be household names for anyone who follows the game at all. The list runs from the old masters to the brightest new stars, and includes several whose contribution to the game is as a writer or teacher.
The Hands of Time
"As the game of bridge enters its ninth decade of existence, it is fascinating to look back at the best and most exciting moments that have occurred at the bridge table. You'll find it all in this collection: the brilliance, the blunders, the amazing triumphs, and the inexplicable falls from grace. The great players of this last century can be found here too, from Culbertson to Kanta, from Reese to Rodwell, from Harrison-Gray to Hamman and Helgemo, as well as the legendary teams like the Dallas Aces and the Italian Blue Team. Open this book anywhere, and we bet you can't put it down!"--Back cover.
My Favorite 52
Using an intimate 'over-the-shoulder' presentation, this book takes us through 50-plus bridge deals from the authors own experience - deals that were important to him in some way, technically interesting, or just plain fun. A former computer programmer and options trader, Larry Cohen was for many years a full-time bridge professional and part-time golfer. Now retired from serious competition, he travels from his home base in Boca Raton, Florida, to fulfill his numerous lecturing engagements, and he writes regularly for several magazines. He has twenty national championships to his name, as well as two world championship medals. He is perhaps best-known for his classic book, To Bid or not to Bid, which at the time was the best-selling book on the game since Charles Goren's heyday (it has since been surpassed by 25 Bridge Conventions You should Know).
