The instructive material in this book is presented in a novel way, as if the author is delivering a series of bridge lessons to a small group of enthusiasts. Occasionally, members of the audience ask questions, or make comments. Its predecessors, Twelve Important Bridge Lessons on Declarer Play and Twelve Important Bridge Lessons on Defense each won a 'book of the year' award from the American Bridge Teachers' Association.
This book describes the next level of declarer play and is intended for players at an intermediate level or better. Twelve important topics have been chosen, describing techniques that you might apply during every session you play. Lesson contains at least eight illustrative deals. Each is explained in David Bird's clear and lucid style and ends with a POINT TO REMEMBER. A set of recap questions comes next, to test you on the chosen topic. Finally there are four declarer-play problems, which can be solved with the techniques just described.
The topics covered are: trump management, safety plays, trump coups, counting the hand, managing entries, avoidance tactics, timing the play, deceptive moves, loser-on-loser plays, predicting the defense, throw-in plays and the simple squeeze. Where basic examples in some of these categories were covered in Twelve Important Bridge Lessons on Declarer Play, we move to the next level of play here. You can sharpen your declarer play by revisiting these lessons time and again.
