Synopsis: What began as
a series of essays that discussed alleged cheating by some of the world's
leading players has evolved into an absorbing book that questions the
unsatisfactory and biased processes that investigated these claims. The
first essay is the truly astonishing story of Willard S. Karn, a player who
was about the best in the world in the 1930s until his career was suddenly
destroyed by cheating allegations. The second and third look at general
issues of cheating in the modern world of bridge through the prism of the
cases of Reese-Schapiro (England), the Manoppo brothers (Indonesia) and the
Blue Team (Italy). The central question is not whether or not a pair was
cheating, but whether the process of investigating these matters can be
considered satisfactory.
