About the Book

In 1965, the bridge world was rocked by an accusation of cheating at the world championships in Buenos Aires. The pair involved were Britain's Terence Reese and Boris Schapiro, two of the world's best players. Now, almost fifty years later, the true inside story can be told - the investigation, the accusation, and the very different results of the World Bridge Federation and British Bridge League inquiries.

Terence Reese, arguably in the 1960s the world's best player as well as its best writer on the game, was effectively finished in international bridge after Buenos Aires. This book, long out of print and now updated, was written in his own defense against the Buenos Aires cheating allegations.

Each offers some riveting reading. The, after having read them, you can apply your forensic and logical skills to both cases before finally considering your own verdict on this unfortunate affair.'
