Bridge with the Blue Team

Book excerpt: Bridge With the Blue Team sets down the most outstanding hands played by the Blue Team, the astonishingly successful Italian team that achieved a record number of victories in world class championships. The 140 chosen hands are first set out in single dummy form so that readers can make their own decisions about how to play the hand before reading the analysis provided. Sections at the end of the book give a summary of the bidding systems employed and a chronological account of the Blue Team's triumphal progress in world championship tournaments.
