The third in an award-winning series for near-beginners, this book gives the reader a chance to practice the principles on which sound bidding is based, from the opening bid onward. Bridge teachers and students will find this book invaluable. The same author team produced Declarer Play at Bridge: A Quizbook, which was named the 2013 Book of the Year by the American Bridge Teachers' Association. Building on the success of that title, this book gives the near-beginner a chance to practice the principles on which sound bidding is based, from the opening bid onward. This is not just a series of problems, however. Each section contains a brief introduction to its topic, and the ideas are reinforced with carefully explained solutions and helpful tips throughout.
