Famous Bridge Records (Master Bridge)

Famous Bridge Records (Master Bridge)

by David Bird (Author), NikosSarantakos (Author)

Synopsis

Records have a perennial fascination and the authors have brought together a riveting collection of record-breaking deals from the history of bridge. What is the fewest high-card points on which someone has made 3NT, 4 Spades, 5 Clubs, 6 Diamonds, 6NT or 7NT? What is the biggest penalty ever suffered or the worst adverse swing? How about the longest auction ever, the most costly opening lead, the greatest number of redoubled overtricks or the greatest number of redoubled undertricks? The answers are all here.

As ever with David Bird's books, you will be greatly entertained and painlessly instructed at the same time.
