David Bird and Ron Klinger made a great hit with KOSHER BRIDGE,
which was enthusiastically applauded world-wide by the leading
bridge critics. In THE RABBI AND THE WEAKER SEX, the retitled
KOSHER BRIDGE 2, the cast returns in splendid form and the Rabbi,
kindly and considerate, maintains an essential balance between the
hilariously warring factions and the excellence of the bridge
ensures that readers will be properly instructed while being
immoderately entertained. If you did not read the first book you
can start with this one. We guarantee you will come back for more.
Winning demands control of the bidding. Before a card is played you
must fight for the high ground or hustle your opponents beyond
their safe level. Pro-active and fearless but not reckless in this
hugely exciting partnership arena, you must judge every last
auction nuance and, terrier-like, destroy your opponents'
communication and confidence whilst enhancing your own. Dodge their
snares, resist their ploys but win the high stakes by forcing them
to gamble - yourself delivering their misfortunes - and by your
willingness to bet on certainty. Paul is author of companion
volumes Bridge for Complete Beginners and The Right Way to Play
Bridge, the leading book for the improving player, and bridge
correspondent of The Financial Times. He began by winning the
National Championships and now writes and lectures worldwide.
