From the opening bid to much later rounds of bidding, from
uncontested sequences to highly competitive auctions, this book
will provide the groundwork so that you will know when silence can
be golden. Each chapter covers the principles that indicate when
bidding is the right course, and then which call to choose, and
when passing is the winning action.
As Hugh Kelsey says in his introduction, the brilliant card player
achieves his results with a combination of logic and flair. And
although many people may think flair plays a disproportionate part,
the expert player, in fact, produces his sometimes unbelievable
results almost entirely by the application of logic. LOGICAL BRIDGE
PLAY teaches you just how to apply logic to your card play in
making the correct inferences and deductions, and in assessing the
timing - the opportunity to become a master player is yours for the
taking.
'Many games provide fun, but Bridge grips you. It exercises your
mind. Your mind can rust, you know, but Bridge prevents the rust
from forming' Omar Sharif 'Bridge is the most entertaining and
intelligent card game the wit of man has so far devised' W.

joy it is to be able to play bridge. You can learn at any age, but
