Enjoy Beginning Bridge: How to Enjoy Learning Beginning Bridge (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781449008611)

This book is unique in three ways: First, it recognizes that bridge is a social game, requiring two sets of partners. Since partners need to signal what they hold in their hand, it is necessary for them to establish an agreement as to what they will do in certain situations. This agreement is achieved by holding a conversation with your partner. Most bridge books only go that far on this subject. This book presents a virtual conversation between two people who have never met and they are telling each other what they know and what they do not know. This conversation is the "glue" that keeps them together. Secondly, the book recognizes that there are 4 players involved and that each player has a different role depending on which seat they occupy. For, example the First Seat always opens the bidding. Each seat has a chapter dedicated to that role. Finally, everything up to the play of the tricks is foreplay. This book shows 13 full deals that include the play of 13 tricks in each full deal including a strategy analysis section and a lessons learned.
