Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Peter Weichsel has won five world bridge championships, including two coveted Bermuda Bowls, and twenty-seven North American titles. He became a member of the Bridge Hall of Fame in 2004. He has been part of great teams (C.C. Wei's Precision Team in the 1970s, and the Aces later on), and has won everything it is possible to win in the game. But that's just his bridge career. This fascinating autobiography tells the story of the man behind those accomplishments. This is the second volume in a two-part autobiography (Book 1 was published in 2023). Book 2 covers the forty years from the author's first Bermuda Bowl win in 1983 to the 2023 World Championships in Marrakesh. Peter's regular partners during this period have included Bobby Levin, Mike Lawrence, Alan Sontag (again) and most recently, Bob Hamman. The chapter on cheating at bridge, at the very top levels, will be of particular interest in view of the upheaval in the world game that this problem continues to cause. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - I've written thirty books and thousands of articles on bridge. This in itself has been a challenge. First, I have to learn what I'm talking about. Then I have to put it into words -- that is the easy part. This book is, for me, a totally new adventure. It's got bridge. It includes a lot of advice. Some system suggestions, strong ones in many cases. And a lot of hands. Bob Hamman wrote the quote on the cover about these hands. But the bulk of the book is made up of stories that were created as a result of my being in the bridge world. Some of them may seem unlikely, but I promise that all of them are true. In the sixty-four years since I joined the ACBL, I've been privileged to meet a wide range of people. Everyone has a story to tell, and I have heard a lot of them. I've met movie stars, titans in the world of business, sports stars, other writers. And I've conversed with a range of people on various topics. So this book is to enjoy as much as it is to improve your bridge.…
