100 Bridge Tips for Club Players

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers club players a variety of suggestions to help them improve their results in both duplicate pairs and IMP events. The 100 tips cover aspects of play, bidding - both the uncontested and the contested auction - and defence. The focus is always on practical approaches, including sensible application of basic principles, good partnership agreements for constructive and obstructive bidding, as well as ways of achieving better co-operation in defence. Some of the topics include: * forcing the opponents to help you avoid a guess * coping with a bad trump break * bidding to show a fit and a shortage * using a cue bid of the opponent's suit * when and when not to bid one more * off-shape and speculative bids * not giving gifts to declarer * when and when not to be active in defence * better signalling Almost all of the deals in this book come from real-life club play and the tips are usually presented as an at-the-table problem.
