Now in paperback comes the first and authorized biography of Stuey
Ungar, the greatest card player of all time, who was backed by the
Mob in New York before moving to Las Vegas where he won the World
Series of Poker three times, then died mysteriously in a seedy
motel on the Vegas strip at the age of 45. He was the Jim Morrison
of the casino, a legend before he was of legal age. Stuey Ungar,
the son of a Jewish bookie on Manhattan's Lower East Side, dropped
out of high school to become an underground card-table sensation,
eventually taking out every top gin-rummy player on the East Coast.
Bankrolled by the Genovese crime family, Stuey would soon travel
around the country in search of new opponents and
opportunities--including poker. He would go on to win the World
Series of Poker a record three times. And then his luck began to
run out. One of a Kind is the startling tale of a man who won at
his game and lost control of his life. Whether tossing away his
winnings at the racetrack or on a single roll of the dice, Stuey
was notorious for gambling every single dollar in his pocket.
Though he had won an estimated $30 million in his lifetime, Stuey
had no bank account, not even a home address. He was found dead in
a Vegas motel--with $800 in cash on his person, the only money he
had left--at the age of forty-five. An intimate, authorized
biography--Nolan Dalla was commissioned by Stuey in 1998 to pen his
story, resulting in hundreds of hours of taped interviews and
conversations--One of a Kind illuminates the dark genius of one of
poker's most memorable figures.

The Bridge Movements Encyclopedia. Duplicate Bridge Schedules,
History and Mathematics is an essential book for tournament
directors as well as bridge players curious about the history of
the game of duplicate bridge. This comprehensive volume supplies
you with all the movements ever thought of and many hundreds of new
ones. Included for each movement are the variations, modifications,
origins, authors and history of its development. Each movement is
then assessed for its measure of quality, called calibre. The
author presents a brand new event type, the Scissor movement - run
like any Howell movement. In this type of event the players play as
pairs as usual, but also have their teammates as another pair,
never meeting each other. This allows the event to be scored both
as teams and pairs, producing a winning team and a winning pair.
Duplicate bridge players will find the history of their favorite
game most intriguing. The book delves into the lives of well-known
figures such as John T. Mitchell and Edwin C. Howell. When did they
live, what did they contribute to bridge, and what were the
politics of their time? In addition, many lesser-known historical
figures are examined for their contributions to the development of
duplicate movements. For the mathematically inclined there are
plenty of interesting oddities. The mathematics of balance of
movements, giving the measure of quality, is thoroughly discussed.
The controversial debate over movement quality, along with its
history, is presented through the ideas and opinions of players and
mathematicians. IAN McKINNON is a mathematician, expert bridge
player, tournament director, author and computer professional.
Through circumstance, around 1970, he started tournament directing
at a major bridge club in Sydney which eventually led to him being
the senior Tournament Director within the Australian Bridge
Federation during the 1970s. He produced his first book, Bridge
Directing Complete, in 1979. All those years of experience, and the
last ten years of intense research and computer programming, have
resulted in this book.
