In this bridge biography Zia Mahmoud - Pakistan's team leader - reveals his unique strategy for success in bridge. Arguing that there is no correct bid or even play of cards, he emphasizes psychology, risk and bluff. He recounts, for example, ways of establishing table presence, how to get the best from your partner and the worst from your opponents, and how to bid differently against both good and bad players. Drawing on actual championship hands, and packed with anecdotes of world famous players, this book should appeal to social and club players alike.

This review is from: Bridge My Way (Paperback)
All the play that isn't in the math is in this book. Zia Mahmoud explores nuances of the table that include mannerisms, partnership rites and reading character. He also tells amusing personal stories and has good gossip about some well known players.

This book is so much fun, if you haven't read it you should. It's full of interesting hands and interesting people, not the least of whom is Zia himself. You may not learn much of direct value to your game, but you'll certainly laugh! "Bridge My Way" is a great reminder that there's a lot more to this game than memorizing bids and percentage plays.

You may or may not improve your level of bridge after reading this book, but you will certainly be entertained!! Zia has a natural flair for bridge and writing that comes through very well in this book. His description of the Paki Spade and other conventions are hilarious. This is a window into the life of one of the top professional bridge players. Exciting stuff!
