Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every Bridge player has heard the cliche that 'Bridge is a partnership game'. What does that actually mean? What is expected of you? Or put more strongly, what are your responsibilities from the very simple to the more difficult, across a myriad of common Bidding and Defensive positions? Captaincy for Advancing Bridge Players seeks to put the under-organized and under-discussed area of Captaincy squarely under the 'X' that marks the spot on your favorite pirate's map. There is plenty of bounty to be had for the players that find the timely ways of how to provide or seek information, and know just when it is time to make a critical decision for the partnership. General Concepts are laid out and related theory is discussed, that provide the foundation for Advancing players to learn 'how to fish' across many different looking but related Bridge circumstances. Innumerable example hands then progressively allow you to quiz yourself. These hands are then analyzed in detail so that as you experience the repeated application of these fundamental Captaincy Concepts, your Bridge skills are gradually both broadened and deepened. Having quiz hands is a challenging and fun way to help you learn this very challenging and fun game from your favorite armchair! So, do you do your fair share?

Download or read book The Best Bridge Book written by Linda Tafet and published by Wheatmark, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-06-17 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Linda Tafet injured her shoulder and could no longer play golf or tennis, she found a new passion in the game of bridge. She took lessons, and the more she learned the more fascinated she became with the game. Every time she learned something new, she would condense it into her own words on a small index card. Soon, these cards became a stack, and then she combined the stack into a small three-ring binder. When her bridge friends saw what she was up to, they asked her to make them binders as well, and pretty soon she found herself in the handmade book-making business, selling each book for $75 each. After selling more than five hundred of these books, Linda decided she was working too hard and could reach more bridge players if she published her book. The Best Bridge Book is a compilation of her original handmade book, now produced as a paperback. Larry Cohen, a very good friend of Linda's and one of the best bridge teachers in the world, edited her book, ensuring that each lesson is correct and easy to follow. Now all bridge players from beginners to advanced can enjoy and learn from Linda's book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Better Bridge with a Better Memory 'goes beyond ... wide-ranging advice ... and investigates one specific technique in detail. The method demonstrated is mnemonics, and the author shows how that approach, already widely in use in naming agreements and providing clues to their details, can be applied to every phase of the game. As is often the case in Klinger productions, many examples used to demonstrate the case at hand have unrelated interesting points, and the discussions thus provide a welcome variety of topics.' - The Bridge World.
