Misplay These Hands With Me - Mark HortonImitation is the sincerest form of flatteryPaperback, 184 pagesThe late Terence Reese, perhaps the greatest bridge writer of all time, introduced the over-the-shoulder style of bridge writing in his classic Play These Hands with Me. In this wry homage to the master, Horton leads the reader through a plausibly logical line of play on each instructive deal, but one that ends in failure. In each post-mortem, the expert realizes how he could have improved on his play, and (usually) have made his contract. The deals are all from top-class events, which prove to be a remarkably fertile source of such material. A book filled with subtle humor and great bridge.Mark Horton is an internationally known player and journalist, with more than a dozen books to his credit. He is editor of BRIDGE magazine in the UK.
