An Introduction to the Science of Bidding
ISBN: 9781425712808 / Angielski / Twarda / 159 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. After some years using published material to teach newcomers the rudiments of bridge bidding, the author became somewhat disillusioned with the approach advocated in the majority of beginning bridge texts.

The beauty of great card play at bridge is something we can all admire, even if we can't all aspire to the heights reached by top-class players.

The author presents 50 problems in play and defence taken from tournament play, giving the reader a chance to solve them for himself before any discussion takes place. Each problem is analysed, sometimes in great...
