He then came to England, where he became one of the world's foremost bridge professionals, famous for his ability to achieve high placings even when partnered only by a client. The author of several best-selling bridge books, Martin and his wife Audrey spend the summers in London and the winters in Florida.

He is a Grand Master and a member of the British junior team that won the 1985 European Union Championships.
