The purpose of this book is to look at the application of modern technology to the game of bridge. In particular, we will focus on information science, game theory and mixed strategy solutions, and computers including artificial intelligence. The book is divided into these three sections.
"If you are a student of game theory, statistics, and maths, The Cutting Edge is a great read. Dave applies the nuances of these strategies to the game we all love. The text is highly analytical."
Ralph Katz, Bermuda Bowl Champion
"I enjoyed this a lot. I expect something will be new to most readers, and it’s a nice collection of related ideas in one place."
Franco Baseggio, hedge fund statistical arbitrage specialist
"[The book] presents bridge situations in a way that bridge players would understand them. It is much more important to be interested in thinking about things mathematically than to have previous knowledge."
Greg Lawler, mathematics professor, University of Chicago
"I enjoyed the hands and analysis. Following the equilibrium mixed strategy is safe in a sense, but in practice you’re only exploitable if the opponent knows you deviate and in which direction."
Jonathan Weinstein, economics professor, University of Washington in St. Louis
