Six Steps to Winning Declarer Play (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781771401586)

HOW OFTEN DO YOU PLAY A DIFFICULT HAND? Too many players have trouble deciding how to set about a contract as declarer. Do they worry about losers or winners? Do they draw trumps or not? Should they be guarding against bad breaks? There are so many things to think about, it's easy to get sidetracked. In this book, you will learn about the right questions to ask yourself as declarer when dummy appears. In each of the 52 example hands, the author goes through the same six questions, and shows you how to arrive at answers that will help you develop the best plan for the hand. The examples range from relatively simple to fairly complex, but gradually you will learn to answer the questions for yourself and then use the information to play the hand to best effect. Everyone who reads this book and applies what they have learned will become a better declarer. JAY APFELBAUM lives in Philadelphia and works as an administrative law judge.
