You've mastered the fundamentals. You know how to open, respond, and hold your own at the club table. But the players who consistently outbid and outscore you aren't working with better cards - they're working with a bigger toolkit.
Inside, you'll learn:
- Strong artificial openings, weak two-bids, and modern notrump structures
- Stayman variants, Jacoby transfers, splinters, and forcing raises for finding the right fit
- New Minor Forcing, Fourth Suit Forcing, and the full 2/1 Game Forcing framework
- Competitive tools including negative doubles, support doubles, Michaels, Unusual 2NT, and responsive doubles
- Defenses against opposing notrump openings, including DONT and Cappelletti
- Lebensohl, for handling competitive auctions with precision
- Blackwood, Roman Key Card Blackwood (both 1430 and 0314), Gerber, cuebidding, and the Grand Slam Force
- Drury, for handling light third- and fourth-seat openings
- Defensive signalling - attitude, count, and suit preference - for the play that follows the bidding
This book takes you through the complete arsenal of conventions that intermediate and advanced partnerships rely on, organized the way an auction actually unfolds: from the opening bid, through developing and competing for the contract, all the way to slam.
Each chapter breaks down a convention or family of conventions with clear explanations, realistic worked examples, and practice hands to test your understanding before you bring a new agreement to the table.
Whether you're looking to round out your partnership's convention card or simply want to understand why stronger players reach contracts you'd never have found, this book gives you the tools, the reasoning behind them, and the practice to make them your own. Buy the book today!
