Master of Bridge Psychology: Inside the Remarkable Mind of Peter Fredin

by Jeppe Juhl

Overview

This may be the funniest bridge biography you will ever read. Peter Fredin of Sweden won the 2009 European Pairs, and is a multiple medalist in world events. Other top-level experts fear and respect him as a challenging opponent, whose imaginative style and exceptional card-reading put them under constant pressure. His approach to bridge is unusual, and often owes more to table feel and psychology than to the mathematics of the game. Danish journalist Jeppe Juhl, a close personal friend, has collected some of Fredin's best and worst moments into a book that offers superlative entertainment for any bridge player. You'll be looking forward to trying some of these plays yourself!
