Brilliance in bridge has its own kind of beauty, like a brilliant work of art. What I happen to admire most are the moments when a player produces a master stroke of card play, a striking move that would elude even the majority of experts because it involves the highly unusual. This book features card plays of such creativity and imagination that I believe they deserve to be preserved as museum pieces to engage appreciative audiences, both present and future. As we promenade through the galleries, you are offered the chance not only to admire the artistry but also to follow the artist's thought process.
