Over 100 years of bridge history it is not surprising that one can find many matches and events that came down to the last board, or even the last card, played. And of course, there is an added poignancy in these situations that derives from the fact that bridge is a unique sport in one aspect the players do not know the score. In this book, the authors collect dozens of fascinating deals, each of which is that last board the one that decided a world title and represented an individual triumph or tragedy.

In 2007, Horton wrote Misplay These Hands with Me, a deliberate homage to Reese's classic, Play These Hands with Me. The difference was that the declarer in Horton's book always made an error, sometimes obvious, sometimes not so much. This successful book was the basis of a long-running column in the ACBL's Bridge Bulletin, and a sequel appeared in 2019. Now the same author turns to the topic of defense, and once again gives the reader a chance to learn from someone else's mistakes. All the deals are taken from top-level play. Book jacket.

Misdefend These Hands with Me

Horton's Misplay These Hands with Me gave birth to a sequel, and earlier this year, Misdefend These Hands with Me. Now the author turns to the topic of bidding, and once again gives the reader a chance to learn from someone else's mistakes. All the deals are taken from top-level play.
