Title Improve Your Opening Leads.pdf ✅

= es ‘ ‘Tt you can always find the winning lead, : % of your matches’ ) L5 \. Priday, Sunday Telegraph

Are your partners in the habit of describing your leads as inspired, brilliant or devastating? Then you will have no use for this book. But if the adjectives that spring to your partners’ lips are less flattering, a study of these problems will be worth your while. Improved leading will make a startling difference to your defence and to your whole bridge game. In selecting the opening lead a player makes a decision that often influences the entire course of the defence for good or ill. With the aid of fifty examples, the authors show how the expert mind works in this situation, explaining how to interpret the bidding, how to visualise the opponents’ hands and how to weigh up the conflicting factors that are involved in every choice of lead. Hugh Kelsey, grand master, international player and Gold Cup winner is well-known as the author of many bestselling books on bridge. Co-author John Matheson is one of the brightest stars in the Scottish bridge firmament. Dr Matheson is also a Gold Cup winner and has managed to spare the time from his busy medical practice near Glasgow to represent Scotland twelve times in international matches. ‘If you can always find the winning lead, you will win 90% of your matches. This book shows, with admirable logic, how to be correct most of the time.’ —R. A. Priday, Sunday Telegraph ‘Things are likely to develop well if you start right. Yet many players are disproportionally weak in their opening leads: the book’s focus point. The method used is most effective: you face a iad then comes the analysis and finally the mark you deserve . - E uropean Bridge League Review
