Book Synopsis Misplay These Hands with Me by : Mark Horton
Download or read book Misplay These Hands with Me written by Mark Horton and published by Master Point Press. This book was released on 2007-10 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. The late Terence Reese, perhaps the greatest bridge writer of all time, introduced the 'over-the-shoulder' style of bridge writing in his classic book Play These Hands With Me. Now in a wry homage to the master, Mark Horton leads the reader through a plausibly logical line of play on each instructive deal--but it is a line of play that ends in failure. In each post-mortem, the 'expert' realizes how he could have improved on his play and how he (usually) could have made his contract. The deals are all from top-class events, which prove to be remarkably fertile sources of such material. Read on for a book filled with subtle humor and great bridge."--Back cover.

Download or read book LiGa written by Sanem Ozdural and published by Elsewhen Press. This book was released on 2012-07-31 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome. You are hereby invited to compete in a tournament of LifeGame™ Bridge ("LiGa™ Bridge"). LiGa™ Bridge is a tournament of duplicate individual bridge in which eight players gamble with, and for, a portion of their lives. Yes, it is possible to gamble with life! We have the technology. Life-gambling is enabled by a process we call "hand imprinting". The physical manifestation of this is a network of cranberry-hued lines on the palms of the players' left hands. These lines track the natural print of the palm and the effect is akin to a fortune-teller's hand map. For further information on LiGa™ technology, please review Appendix I. You will be gambling with a portion of your remaining life to win a portion of the other players' lives. To be precise, each player will wager one third of his/her remaining life per game, as measured by Life Points, to win one quarter of the total Life Points deposited by the losing four players. The losers' remaining lives will be shortened by one third. The tournament ends when one - or more - of the players reaches 100 Life Points. This is the point at which the age-related degeneration of the human body ceases completely, irreversibly, and indefinitely. A somewhat misleading term that is applied to this state is 'immortality'. Reaching 100 Life Points does not mean you cannot be killed, only that you will not age. In other words, immortal does not mean invincible. During the tournament - after the first transfer of Life Points has taken place - your body will be in a constant state of flux as it adjusts to markedly increased or decreased rates of degeneration on a weekly basis. For detailed information on the impact of life-absorption on your body, please see Appendix II. If you wish to enter the tournament you must submit a non-refundable entrance fee of $10,000,000.00. Xavier Redd (Imm.) Have YOU had your invitation yet? Literary science fiction, LiGa™ tells of a game in which the players are, literally, gambling with their lives. Sanem Ozdural's debut novel is set in a near-future where a secretive organisation has developed technology to transfer the regenerative power of a body's cells from one person to another, conferring extended or even indefinite life expectancy. As a means of controlling who benefits from the technology, access is obtained by winning a tournament of chess or bridge to which only a select few are invited. At its core, the game is a test of a person's integrity, ability and resilience. The fantastic nature of the game's technology is made all the more credible by the familiarity of the contemporary setting, giving the story a definite slipstream feel. Sanem's novel provides a fascinating insight into the motivation both of those characters who win and thus have the possibility of virtual immortality and of those who will effectively lose some of their life expectancy.

While others have made their names winning championships, he has spent over forty years playing bridge for money, in games that included some of the world's best players. And he has been a consistent winner. Now he tells you how he did it. He describes the factors that will make you a winning player: judgment, adaptability, planning, psychology, and lastly, technique. He talks about how to recognize when to ignore the rules, which overall strategies work and which don't, and how to get the best out of your partners. Finally, while promoting a bidding style that is largely natural, he discusses a number of popular conventions, explaining their drawbacks and recommending a (very) few as being worth playing. This is a unique book that can help turn you, too, into a winner.

If you wish to become more than just a mediocre bridge player mastering the techniques of basic simple squeeze play is a must. In any session of bridge of twenty or so deals, the opportunity of some form of squeeze invariably arises on three to four deals even if unrecognized. Don’t worry about the other types. They are usually only discovered in post-mortem analysis. The purpose of this book is to guide you thru what you can easily master. You will find that the feeling of executing your first squeeze is a “once in a lifetime thrill” at the table.
