The Weak Notrump
Author: Andy Stark
Publisher: Master Point Press
ISBN: 9781894154697

Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
All North American players are taught to play using a strong notrump, but that is not the way of the rest of the world. Even in North America, weak notrump systems, or even Kamikaze notrump systems, are becoming more common. This book discusses the advantages and disadvantages of playing a system with a weaker notrump opening, and shows how the 1NT range impacts the rest of the bidding system. Even those who have no interest in converting to a weak notrump range still need to know how to play against weak notrump systems. For them, the book includes advice on effective competitive methods.

Book Description
Notrump openings, and the constructive auctions that follow them, are two of the most neglected areas in bridge literature. Following on from his popular articles in the ACBL Bulletin, Kleinman discusses the principles behind notrump bids and rebids in a variety of situations, emphasising the ideas and concepts rather than attempting to teach a series of rigid rules. A must for any duplicate player.

Treacle Boy's Guide to the Game of Bridge
Author: Andrew Mountford
Publisher: Andrew Mountford
ISBN:
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
A rollicking roller-coaster of a ride through the world of rubber bridge. From opening bids and responses, through the complexities of Jacoby transfers and the Blackwood convention, and why you should lead the fourth highest card of a suit, this book has it all. In fact, its got it in spades! So who is this book for? Well, everyone. A tall order, maybe, but we think we’ve managed it. If you’re a complete newcomer to the world of bridge, then this book is definitely for you. Want to know what all the fuss is about - but don’t understand why a game takes so long - and don’t know the rules, or how to begin a game, or keep it going? Then this book explains all that stuff, with lots of examples and tips to get you started. Not a novice but still consider yourself a beginner? Want to improve your bidding technique and learn a few playing tricks? Then this book is also for you. It has a host of accessible guidelines that should help sharpen up your bidding, and some neat pointers as to how you can make more of the hands you are dealt. Or perhaps you’ve been playing for a while, and want to improve - you’ve always wondered what "Jacoby transfers" and "cue bids" were all about, and why you should lead with the fourth highest card in a suit: Then there’s something here for you too. You’ll find some useful bidding conventions and playing guidelines, explained through clear examples and (we hope) lucid explanation. Even if you’ve been playing for years, and are well on your way to transitioning from an intermediate to an advanced player, this book might still be for you. It contains anecdotes and caricatures you might find familiar and maybe even amusing, and if you find something that, from your seasoned perspective, you take issue with, well - good! We’d like to hear from you, particularly if you include details we can steal without citing you as a contributor, which can go towards adding to, and hopefully improving, future editions of this book.
