Bridge : Beginner to Intermediate

Runner-up in the beginner/novice category of the American Bridge Teachers Association 2020 Book of the Year Awards. Bridge is a hugely popular pastime enjoyed by millions, and yet whole books have been written about single aspects of the game, and learning the seemingly complex rules and language can be a daunting idea. So this is the essential guide to beginning your journey and getting in on the fun, covering everything you need to know to get started and progress, from bridge basics, language and no-trump declarer play to analysing hands and working with trump suits. Defence play is then covered before going into bidding essentials and further bidding techniques and conventions. Keeping score and advice on taking things further rounds off this invaluable guide for the beginner. Clear explanations and examples make learning easy, and fresh writing from seasoned expert Mark Horton keeps things interesting, while a glossary of terms is a handy at-a-glance reminder of the meaning of key words and phrases. Suitable for standard playing methods used worldwide.Author: Horton, Mark,author Contributors: Horton, Mark,author Binding: spiral_bound Number Of Pages: 176 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Published/Release Date: 25 May 2019 Format: Spiral bound Publisher/Studio/Brand: Flame Tree Publishing Author/Director/Artist: Mark Horton Dimension (cm): 232x162x18 mm Package Dimension (cm): 24x237x178 mm Item Weight (g): 1050 Package Weight (g): 540
