Author(s): Andrew Robson; The Times Mind Games

Games/Puzzles

An extensive bridge guide aimed at the less experienced or social player who longs to improve their game

Based on master player Andrew Robson's weekly in the Times, this book presents common scenarios with an outline of what actually happened, as well as what should have happened. The first section, "The Game," gives a basic outline of how to play bridge, and is subdivided into "Bidding," "Declarer Play," and "Defence." Featured alongside every deal is a handy tip, "If you remember just one thing . . .." The reader can either read "The Game" first, paying particular attention to the tips, or they can dip in and out of the book, picking a common mistake at random, with the option to cross-reference to the same tip in "The Game" section. As bridge is now reaching a new audience of all ages, master player Andrew Robson is the go-to expert on the topic. This book was titled The Times Bridge: Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them previously.
