Tiêu đề The Golden Rules of Defence (And When to Break Them) - Mark Smith, Julian Pottage.pdf ✅

THE GOLDEN RULES OF DEFENCE Rules of thumb apply to many activities in life. For defence in bridge 'Third hand high', 'Second hand low', and the like have served generations of players. In this book you will find all the golden rules you need to know, backed up by examples that make it easy to apply each one. Furthermore, you will also discover when it is imperative that you do not follow the rules! Logic has governed the running order for the rules, although generally the hardest are towards the end. Some of the example hands are trickier than others, but that is how it should be. Whether you are fairly new to the game or are an experienced player you will certainly discover something fresh. You are unlikely to regret reading this book ! The co-authors, Marc Smith and Julian Pottage, are both former Junior Internationals and are current Grand Masters. Marc has an impressive record of writing about counting, signalling and convent ions and contributes to periodicals all over the world. Julian has written a series of card-play problem books and is a regular contributor to Bridge Magazine. !I
