About the Author
In his youth, Burt Hall was selected to play with Charles Goren when the great master was playing with local talent at regional events. Because of other demands he retired from tournament bridge in his twenties. During the mid-1980's, three decades later, he returned to tournament bridge to find dramatic changes in the game and the literature much enriched. Not hindered by the past, he became a keen observer of the modern approach to bridge and the winning ways of the experts. Eventually, Burt formed a partnership with his present wife and favorite partner, Lynn Rose-Hall. They have established an enviable record and have amassed several thousand master points in local, regional and national events. They have also taught advanced bridge in the Washington, DC area, a course based on the winning ways of the experts. In this book they share those winning ways with you.
