Alfred Sheinwold, one of the foremost experts on bridge whose syndicated columns on the card game appeared in 200 newspapers, has died. He was 85.

Sheinwold died at a Sherman Oaks hospital on Saturday after suffering a stroke, said Ellie Pynes, his stepdaughter.

The London native often referred to as the “King of Bridge” also wrote 13 best-selling books on the game.
