Author Description

Marc Smith's original World Class, published in 1999, became a classic. This is the second volume or an all-new edition, featuring many of the world's best players of the 21st Century. They discuss their lives, at the table and away from it - how they started, their best and worst bridge memories, their favorite hands, why partnerships work well, and their hopes for the future. You may recognize the names from your bridge magazine or from watching them play online. This book will show you their human sides, as they chat about their triumphs and disasters and offer tips to improve your game. Get to know many of the world's best players, male and female, young and old. PLAYERS IN THIS VOLUME: Marcelo BRANCO (Brazil) Chip MARTEL (U.S.A.) Kerri SANBORN (U.S.A.) Bobby LEVIN (U.S.A.)
