Is one of the greatest classics of bridge literature. Contains no fewer than 140 hands played by the celebrated Italian Blue Team. The most successful world class team of all time. Bridge With the Blue Team sets down the most outstanding hands played by the Blue Team, the astonishingly successful Italian team which achieved a record number of victories in world class championships, a feat unlikely ever to be equaled. The 140 chosen hands are first set out in single dummy form so that readers may make their own decisions about how to play the hand before reading the analysis provided. Sections at the end of the book give a summary of the bidding systems employed and a chronological account of the Blue Team's triumphal progress in world championship tournaments.
