Many bridge players spend long hours examining systems and conventions aimed at improving their bidding. Similarly, considerable efforts are devoted to the intricacies of declarer play, yet at the bridge table more than twice the player's time is likely ro be spent as a defender rather than as declarer. Andrew Kambites, a leading bridge teacher, whose previous books have been acclaimed for their lucidity, explains the the logical sequences that provide the touchstone for effective defence. Having been given the techniques the reader is then invited to assess the accuracy of his own deductions from the excellent quizzes that follow each chapter. Not only your results, but the pleasure in playing bridge will be enormously enhanced by reading this exciting, informative book.
