Playing To Win At Bridge
Practical Problems for the Improving Player

Inside Page:

Ron Klinger is not only an international player and the winner of many prestigious bridge championships as well as being a well-known leading bridge journalist. He is also a Master of Laws, with First Class Honours, and has years of experience in teaching bridge at all levels. He brings to his books the sharpness of a trained legal mind, together with the authority of a Life Master and the understanding of a top teacher.

'Playing to Win at Bridge is as good a quiz book as has ever appeared. The feature that distinguishes this collection from most others is the absence of special themes. Instead of examples of well-known ideas, the author presents truly practical situations. As declarer, you are more likely to be wandering how best to combine the different chances than how to operate an esoteric squeeze. On defense, you must worry about your aces getting away before you turn your thoughts to complex coups. In short, the questions emphasize those aspects of bridge play that are truly important at the table. Our quibbles with the analysis are minor, and we recommend the book as outstanding of its kind.'- The Bridge World
