Chapter 17, which Buffett here refers to, discusses the subject of overbidding and how it can be either a disastrous move or a smart tactic. In very good condition. An exceptional association.

You're doing calculations all the time" (Forbes, Buffett on Bridge). In 2006, Buffett began sponsoring his own biannual tournament, the Buffett Cup, which is played every other September. …
