Description

This book is based on an in-depth filmed conversation between Howard Burton and Fred Gitelman, world-champion bridge player and co-founder of Bridge Base Online. This wide-ranging conversation provides behind-the-scenes insights into the world of professional bridge, the psychological stress of top-flight competition and how the human mind can compute amazing feats of memory.

This carefully-edited book includes an introduction, The Art of Competition, and questions for discussion at the end of each chapter:

I. Bridge Background - What it’s all about
II. A Personal Perspective - Beginnings, partnerships, tournaments and memory
III. The Bridge Business - Educational software, online domination and special friends
IV. At the summit - Conquering the world and then reverting to type
V. Critical Times? - Demographics, gender and the future of bridge
