The original “Shark’s Pointers” article appeared in 1975, in a small Boston-area newspaper. Thirty years later, the idea re-emerged as a series of bridge columns and lectures in Massachusetts. Then during the pandemic, Shark’s Pointers went online, and it is these latter talks and the advice they contain that have now been collected into this book.
Written in an over-the-shoulder style, this book can be read for fun or profit or both: you will learn more about bridge if you care to, or you can just enjoy the anecdotes and the great deals.
CRITICS’ VIEWPOINT
“… true results at the table being turned into serious guidelines for how to play the game better. Anyone aspiring to improve their ability to play bridge will find numerous practical, easy to implement solutions.”
— Andrew Chesterton
“… an entertaining mix of good plays and, shall we say, not-so-good plays. Shark constantly reminds us that we all make mistakes – our job is to keep concentration enough to avoid the ones caused by distraction or tiredness.”
— Robin Hillyard
