In this book you sit beside me for 90 deals and can compare your decisions with mine. Most of the deals present problems on a level I would call "intermediate." You won't agree with all my actions; bridge involves personal style and judgment. My at-the-table analysis may not even be error-free; that's part of the game also. Still, I hope you will find it interesting and instructive to listen in on my thoughts.
