About this title

Synopsis

A book which covers the most common conventions which the bridge player is likely to encounter. It explains when each convention is used, what its effects are and how to combat it. Even if players actively use only some of them, they should know about them and how to combat their effects.

Review

Explains each convention, and goes on to show how it should be used, and covers the good and bad sides of its use. I felt the best part of the book (and the part which makes it stand out from any other book on conventions) was that, first, he shows how you might set out to make any conventional understanding difficult to use well, when employed against you. Then he discusses how best to counter these (and other) defensive measures used against you when you yourself have used the convention ... Highly recommended.--Bridge Magazine
