Some players might feel a little inhibited to find themselves defending a contract against the great Michael Rosenberg, known throughout the bridge world as ‘the expert’s expert’ for his encyclopedic knowledge of cardplay techniques.

Munday is a top US player, and as far as he is concerned any opponent, whatever their stature, can be steered to defeat with the right sort of dastardly defence. In the recent semi-final of America’s most prestigious pairs event, Munday caught Rosenberg out with this beautiful piece of deception.
