Episode 5

Hi, my name is John McAllister. I have spent the past six years playing bridge all around the world. My goal is to win a world championship. Doing so requires getting into the minds of the world’s best players.

I can not think of a better, more fun way to do so, than to interview great bridge players and share their insights in podcast format.

Episode 5 – Adam Wildavski Plus Zia

Adam Wildavsky is a Grand Life Master, which is the American Contract Bridge League highest awarded ranking. He has twice won the United States Bridge Championships, ultimately finishing as high as third in the Bermuda Bowl. Adam won the Reisinger Board a Match teams in 2002 in last minute partnership with Doug Doub.

Adam can be found online at his Tameware website which includes a page about bridge. His preferred set of system notes can be found here.

For the first time this episodes includes a prelude, bridge superstar Zia Mahmood discusses a bidding problem shared with me from my Indian friend Anindra Sarkar.
