Book Reviews of Bridge: 25 Ways to Be a Better Defender
Book Review: Great bridge book
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been boning up on my defense this year and Barbara has a really simple way to explain difficult concepts. I like her approach, her examples and the tips to remember at the end of the chapter. In fact, I copied her method of repeating the important points in my book, "Raising Able: how chores cultivate capable confident young people." [...]>Well done,</a> Barbara. I own another of your books too - "25 Conventions You Should Know" and I reccomend the books, too, to people making the leap from social bridge to duplicate bridge.
Summary of Bridge: 25 Ways to Be a Better Defender
Defence is the hardest part of playing bridge, but that doesn't mean that it's impossible to learn. In this final book of the bestselling "25" series, the authors explain how to make a plan as a defender: how to work out from the auction and play what declarer probably has, and which of the strategies available to defenders is likely to be successful. Opening leads, signalling and discarding are all covered in this basic guide to a vitally important topic.Bridge Books
