DESCRIPTION:
A study of the concepts in this book will take the reader a long way from amateur status towards actually becoming an expert player.. This book contains a collection of deals that illustrate the difference between the expert player and the would-be expert. It's much more basic than that. Why aren't you an expert bridge player? What makes a bridge expert, and why does he or she always come out on top compared to the average club player? No, it's not the ability to execute esoteric squeezes and endplays - they simply don't come up enough to account for the way the experts consistently win against weaker opposition. These illustrate the kinds of decisions that will come up in every club game, situations in bidding, play and defense where the amateur will often go wrong, but the expert never will
Andrew said Churned out. There is nothing compelling about this book. Some of the hands are interesting, the others are routine. The hands aren't bad but thats not enough of a reson to buy this book. There are easily 100 better books on play of the hand than this. Plus the format is poor - all problems have all hands exposed making it dfficult to attempt the problems before reading the solution.Insted try:Play Safe and Win - JannerstenFind the Mistakes - JannerstenSpot Light on Card Play - DarvasMany books by Terence ReeseMany books by Frabk StewartThis book is bound to disap.
