INTRODUCTION Can you learn from the errors of others? Here is a collection of simple problems that gave a variety of play- ers, mostly "intermediate" but including occasional beginners and experts, some trouble. You won't find bidding problems here worthy of the Master Solvers' Club (a monthly Bridge World feature) or declar- er play problems fit for "Test Your Play" (another Bridge World feature) or problems to challenge defensive maven Eddie Kantar. Instead you will find the kinds of "bread and butter" problems that arise several times a session each time you trudge to your local duplicate bridge club or travel to a sectional or regional tournament. In these problems, you will always be "South" during the auction and for any questions relating to the auction. You will always be South as declarer and either East or West, as indicated, when you are a defender. Distributions are shown as four numbers: 5431 indicates any hand that contains a five-card suit, a four-card suit, a three-card suit and a singleton, but 5-4-3-1 represents a particular hand pattern in the order spades-hearts-diamonds-clubs, with five spades, four hearts, three diamonds and one club. You can read this book in two ways. You can examine the prob- lems and proceed directly to the analyses and solutions. Alternatively, you can cover the analyses with a sheet of paper or cardboard and try to solve the problems on your own before looking at my solutions. Happy learning and good luck!
