Peter Weichsel has won five world bridge championships, including two coveted Bermuda Bowls, and twenty-seven North American titles. He became a member of the Bridge Hall of Fame in 2004. He has been part of great teams (C.C. Wei’s Precision Team in the 1970s, and the Aces later on), and has won everything it is possible to win in the game. But that’s just his bridge career. This fascinating autobiography tells the story of the man behind those accomplishments. This is the second volume in a two-part autobiography (Book 1 was published in 2023). Book 2 covers the forty years from the author’s first Bermuda Bowl win in 1983 to the 2023 World Championships in Marrakesh. Peter’s regular partners during this period have included Bobby Levin, Mike Lawrence, Alan Sontag (again) and most recently, Bob Hamman. The chapter on cheating at bridge, at the very top levels, will be of particular interest in view of the upheaval in the world game that this problem continues to cause.
