Editore e direttore della notissima rivista "Bridge Today" e di quella on line "Bridge Today Digest", Open World Master Matthew era noto più per la sua opera di insegnante, che per i suoi successi di giocatore che, pur se numerosi, non lo lanciavano nell'Olimpo dei big. 

 Poi ai Mondiali del 2006 a Verona è salito improvvisamente alla massima ribalta conquistando l'oro nel Coppie Miste in coppia con Karen Mc Callun.

 Tra gli altri suoi successi ricordiamo: il Cavendish Pairs in coppia con Michael Rosenberg nel 1986, due Mitchels (1975 e 1982) e il Silodor nel 1972.

Sposato con Pamela, che gli ha dato tre figli, vive a Gerusalemme in Israele e dirige assieme alla moglie una delle prime scuole di bridge via Internet con il sito www.bridgetoday.com, e con lei ha acquistato notorietà mondiale tenendo la rubrica "Partnership Bridge" sulla rivista ufficiale della Lega Americana.

 Matthew Granovetter, 49, is co-editor and publisher of Bridge Today Magazine and Bridge Today Digest - Online, an email magazine.

He has written a dozen books on bridge, including a mystery-novel trilogy, Murder at the Bridge Table, I Shot My Bridge Partner, and The Bridge Team Murders. His books have been translated in Italian, Polish and Chinese.

Matthew writes a weekly column for the Jerusalem Post and various other publications. He also runs an email bridge school on the Internet (bridgetoday.com).

His newest book, "Learn to Play Bridge in 9 Minutes (and enjoy it for the rest of your life)" is illustrated by the late Charles Schulz, and will be published early next year by Perigee, a division of Penguin.

A winner of numerous U.S. National Championships, Matthew has represented the United States in competitions in France, England and Monte Carlo, and has won both the Cavendish Pairs and Bridge Today All-Star Game.

He appeared for two seasons in the BBC television series, "Grand Slam," and has lectured about the game all over the world.

Matthew has also authored two Musical Plays for Children, published by Samuel French, and has taught theater at Hunter College in New York, where he holds a BA and MA in creative writing and drama.

Matthew lives in Jerusalem, Israel, with his wife, Pamela, and three children.
